01 — "Overview"
Real estate photography is recurring and fast. Portraits and events pay premium per shoot.
02 — "The Crash Course"
- Step 01
Pick a paid niche
Real estate, headshots, events and products pay consistently. Weddings pay most but are demanding.
- Step 02
Get starter gear
Used mirrorless body, a 24–70mm or 35mm lens, a flash and editing software. ~$1,000–$1,500 used.
- Step 03
Build a portfolio
Shoot friends, local businesses and free sessions in your niche.
- Step 04
Price clearly
Headshots $150–$300, real estate $150–$400 per listing, events $100–$250/hr.
- Step 05
Market locally
Google Business Profile, Instagram, and realtor/office partnerships.
- Step 06
Deliver fast
24–72 hour turnaround wins repeat clients, especially realtors.
- Step 07
Upsell
Video, drone, prints, extra edits.
"The math"
10 shoots/mo × $250 = $2,500/mo; realtor partners can add 10+ listings per month.
