Just thought I'd start a thread on discussion of the general photography market nowadays... please keep it clean i'd really like for this to be an insightful look into the different perspectives of this topic from people...
coming from a students point of view, i don't have that much experience in the proffesional field... only worked at a studio for a little while for work experience and that was awsome, so i do know a little bit about what goes on in the real world of photos.
I myself treat photography as more like a hobby, but intend to take it with me into a career path of some sort after school, and also its a great way to earn a little side money should people be interested in the stuff i do.
more and more though i see people that might pick up a 450D or D60 or something, and putting up their services on a little blogsite at, well compared to the pros, relatively cheap prices... just wondering if there's any actual proffesionals out there (by that i mean you earn a living and put bread on the table through photography) that can share their opinions on this? is the market being "eaten up" in a sense by these people that offer a few cool snapshots although maybe without proper training as you guys have...
are gone the days where a guy that knew how to take good photos one of the most respected dudes around?
hope to get some insightful discussion on this..
cheers!
