There are a myriad of photographers in the society that are constantly competing against one another in order to grab the opportunity to stand in the limelight. Moreover, there are only a handful of photographers that have successfully landed themselves with a job in multinational companies. Other talented photographers either have to forget their dreams to earn a living through photography or to work for multiple part time jobs to support themselves. 

“My love of photography is melded with the ability to capture what I want to remember in the moment I want to never forget.” – Devin Dygert.

In tandem, those who are willing to distribute their photographs for free further making it difficult for the rest of the photographers to make businesses from their passions. Here are three common things that only photographers, be it amateur or professional, will face almost on daily basis. 

1. It Takes A Lot Of Effort To Take A Good Picture.

While people may regard us as perfectionists, that is not entirely true most of the time. Your aim is simple, that is you want to take a stunning photography. In addition, there are multiple aspects to consider while taking a great picture. For example, you have to ensure that the lighting is good, there is no disruption at the background, the angle is right and the likes. After all, you want to ensure that the photograph do justice to the beauty of the subjects.

2. Their Roles Are Underappreciated

More often than not, people have different notions about being a photographer. While some people might assume it as a good career, the rest will think that it is simply not plausible to make a living out of it. This is partly because it is rare for a photographers to have a fixed salary as their earnings are based on a sale per sale basis (unless you are working for a company).

3. The Overly Expensive Equipment.  

Taking up photography as a career can burn a hole in your pocket in the beginning. Even before you start getting an income, you have to fork out a great amount of money from your savings to get a good quality camera. When you wish to further enhance your skills, you need to purchase more photography gear such as stand, lens, tripod and the likes. All these equipment can cost from hundreds to even thousands, depend on their qualities.
