Photographers have a great job, but truth is, overall, very little time is actually spent taking those fabulous photos. While doing some research, yea, the really fun stuff, I came across a really great piece about the very topic of time management. Based on this set of pie-charts, we actually spend about 12% of our time taking pictures. Yep, that’s right. The most successful photographers spend more time editing and working with their images than actually taking them. Plus, the social media, marketing, advertising, post-production; it all adds up.
I can personally support this data as I am spending more time marketing my work than ever. It’s really tough sometimes, but, it’s required if you plan to stay in business.
