I get asked "how to become a professional dog photographer" and "how can I start a dog photography business" all the time. The answer isn't so simple but it needed covering off. So, in this video, we'll run through the realities and truths for that big elephant in the room: How to become a professional photographer. (Also covers the topic: how to make money from dog photography)

Let me make it crystal clear that I am not wanting to dampen anyone's enthusiasm or make people doubt themselves if they are already set on doing this, what I am trying very hard to do is provide you with pointers and areas to cover off BEFORE you go down this rabbit hole. Is it a rewarding career? YES. Is it worth the pain to get there? That's really down to you.

For me, it was all I knew for a long time, so I'm at peace with it, and I would go back in a heartbeat if my life was on a slightly different path. But from me to you, listen, learn and do. Only you can decide if this is the right move for you.
