Show Notes
When people think of music photography, they picture summer festivals and constantly being on tour. But the reality of turning this into a full-time career? It often means taking on some unsexy jobs behind the scenes that help to pay the bills...
Whether you’re trying to go full-time or just looking to diversify your income as a freelancer, I hope this episode gives you a real, honest look at the less glamorous side of the industry. I also share what other work I do alongside music photography that helps me feel a little less anxious about self-employment and last-minute bookings.
What unsexy jobs keep your business afloat? I'd love to hear your thoughts - drop a comment or email me [email protected]! x
