With talk of credit crunching and finances receding I have noticed a few worries addressed in Photographic magazines. With so many ‘wedding photographers’ out there ranging in ability, experience and style, many wonder if they will be able to continue to earn over the coming months and years.
There could be a wholly positive side to this recession.
The great photographers will continue to work. There will be demand for these professional artists and the clients will be willing and able to pay for their services. However as the quality of the photographer reduces, so too will their potential to earn. This will force the acceptable level photographers to reduce their fee to something more acceptable. In turn this will push the lesser able to either work for very little while they build their ability or give up.
Photography and the client will be the winner, as will the good name of wedding photographers. Something which has been recently tainted with charlatans and wannabees.
