You may be wondering… Or you may have been able to define it for yourself:)
Well, let me break it down for you
pho.tog.ra.pher
–noun
a person who takes photographs, esp. one who practices photography professionally.
en.tre.pre.neur
–noun
a person who organizes and manages any enterprise, esp. a business, usually with considerable initiative and risk.
Personally, I think being young is subjective. You may be 90 years old, but still young at heart.
So a photopreneur is that photographer that also has an entrepreneurial spirit. They see the bigger picture in this photography world. Not just snapping photos, but having the drive to make a living from it as well.
As most creative people, we all take a risk to pursue our passion. However, calculated risks can lean more towards your favor, than jumping into the industry completely blindfolded.
Whether you’re in school, or not, I feel that no matter how old we get, we will constantly be learning.
So… are you a young photopreneur? Or in the process of becoming one?
This website is dedicated to:
1. Anyone curious about getting into photography and not knowing the 1st steps to take.
2. Someone already at an intermediate level, but struggling to get more work.
3. A photographer interested in starting a legitimate business.
4. College students trying to transition from student to professional.
…and everything in between!
Maybe you just have a love for photography and want to stop by the site every now and then to see what’s going on.
Either way, I hope you’re able to get some valuable information here, that will jumpstart you into your photography career! Any advice I give you will either be something I have already done, or am currently doing.
I’ll have great tips, and a ton of information you can use to help you grow. I’ll also have interviews with current students working in the industry, as well as graduates working in their field.
