How Long Does it Take to Become a Pro Photographer in 2022

Today marks my 300th video upload. Which I am actually pretty proud of. Keeping this Youtube channel running has been a hard slog for these first two years.

In this weeks video I look at how long it takes to become a professional photographer in 2022

Hi there! Man i just discovered you and appreciate your videos. No BS no pitching SP and whatever else. I really appreciate it and straight talk is rare! All the best from Brazil!

[mauricebighi]

I wouldn't be to hard on yourself regards YouTube Scott! Ted is great but here's the crunch, what you say is insightful and more importantly, it's honest insightful and no B.S so more power to you! Happy 300

Awesome work man, 300 is not a small investment! Great quality videos, tons of inspiration, and just the right amount of truth Appreciate ya and really dig the channel content

Congratulations on sticking with it for 300 videos, that's a wonderful achievement. Thanks for the truth bombs you shared on this channel, they are severely needed in our industry!

[andrewlunn]

Your YouTube channel is great and I have watch many of your videos. Your success and rewards from this channel are very well deserved.

To be honest, I kinda want to hear more about the council flat and struggle days. Throw in some bands and partying while you're at it. Just found this channel today. Looks good!

[nickfindsgold]

Great advice that can be applied to most creative careers. You really are a truth teller, no fluff, no jargon, straight up quality 👌

[bartfire]

Words I feel I needed to hear. Very encouraging, and congrats on the 300th video, Scott.

We are sparta!!! Nr 300 ! Cheers. Your advice keeps me on track and my mindset checked in for the long journey ahead of me! Thanks a lot.

[JordanSchooler]

I have no idea why your channel isn't far more popular. Both the technical and professional advice is gold and a lot of the latter crosses over to other fields.

[quentindecaillet]

Congrats on the 300 videos mark! And huge thank you for putting so much interesting and constructive content out there for professional photographers. This is awesome 🔥

[carlahearnevideo]

Great video; some really solid honest advise on what to expect when you're starting out. Most Youtubers out there glorify everything and suggest that everything happens in no time but the truth is getting good at anything takes time and hard work. I'm into my third year shooting property photography and it's only now that things are picking up; jobs are getting bigger and more people are seeing what I'm doing. Much like you, I see work I did in my first year and wonder how I got paid! Even now, I'm picking up new skills and I'm hopeful that I'm heading in the right direction.

Looking forward to seeing video 301 :)

[JesusMartinezCreates]

Those were my goals of covering all my bills but have slowed down posting on youtube. Thanks man I am always feeling ready to create when I see your videos bro! Keep it up!

Another great video, Scott! Yep, ‘Jack of all trades’ is exactly how I was perceived for years which brought me years of fulfillment and some decent income. I was a working photog which is something I’ve wanted my whole life. It was okay, but I was stuck. This all changed after your May 2020 review of my work/website and your recommendation to specialize. Now my projects are fewer but vastly larger (think ‘licensing fees’) and, Bonus!, they’ll wait for ME to become available because I’m the ‘industrial/ men at work’ SPECIALIST. I would have never been in the running for the projects I’m working on now if I hadn’t reached out for your input. Thank you Scott. Thank you for starting this channel. Thank you for showing us that no matter how long one has been doing something there’s always more to learn. Thank you for telling us not just what you think we want to hear but also what we NEED to hear. Looking forward to the next 300!

[BrettCurrie]

Well done on the milestone of 300, a lot of hard work. Enjoyed this one hearing your perspective 😀

[alex]

Didn’t realized it was 300 vidros, but I remember watching you for 3-4 years now. I think you had under 500 subscribers or something like that. Your input has always been valuable and I just love that you don’t sugar coat it like other photographers. I can’t wait for what the future holds for this channel.

This is crazy, I'm currently in Project Management. It's inspiring see the transition has been made. Appreciate you and your videos.

[garrettlison]

This video just popped into my recommended and I'm glad it did. I've been shooting off and on for a few years now and this is my first real attempt to make a go of it. I'm hoping to work within the photojournalism space and took my first step by shooting a local parade. I only really like one shot I got, but I'm sure with time I'll find a few more worthwhile and add them to my portfolio. Thanks for the insight into your personal experience and hope all goes well in the future. Liked and subbed!
