We’re hearing this more and more from photographers<\/strong>; “Every Joe with a DSLR thinks they are a photographer”.\u00a0 Family members of the bride & groom are competing for the business in the wedding photography industry, right?\u00a0 Only they’ll do it for fifty bucks and a six pack.\u00a0 Beats fifteen hundred to three grand in some people’s opinion.\u00a0 What’s more is that the audience sometimes may not be good enough at telling quality pro photos from the amateurs.\u00a0 It’s a fact that DSLR sales are way up as more and more consumers join the craze.\u00a0 There are two ways to look at everything.\u00a0 Doom & Gloom or Opportunity.\u00a0 I like opportunity.<\/p>\n

Did you know that 8,100 people monthly Google search the keyword phrase, “photography lessons”<\/strong>?\u00a0 Or that 18,100 people Google search the keyword phrase “photography workshops<\/strong>“?\u00a0 Some others are “private photography lessons<\/strong>“, “photography lessons for kids<\/strong>” and “digital photography classes<\/strong>” – there are dozens more.<\/p>\n

If you can’t beat them, join them.<\/span> Innovate, create, teach.\u00a0 So you can’t stop consumers from buying digital cameras, but maybe you can teach them how to use them.\u00a0 Do you have a local community college in your area?\u00a0 Do you have a studio with a down day during the week?\u00a0 Teach a class.\u00a0 Now you’re the expert.\u00a0 And guess what?\u00a0 Now you may just get hired for some work for one of your pupils – while they are still learning of course.\u00a0 It’s all about connections, and the more you make the better off you’ll be.<\/p>\n
