Can a poor person become a professional photographer in

Yes, just get a business loan.

You can get an older model DSLR for less than $100 on ebay. So yes.

I live off welfare and have an a7ii around 50 lenses, studio flashes, 3 strobes and a commander, fuji xe1 and a nex 3 as beater bodies, Pentax k5 and another 2 pro zooms for that.

So yeah, it's not hard, just stop buying booze/fancy food/drugs/cars/etc. I never got a loan or any handouts and on the rare occasion i need a financial boost I've charged £1200 a day without complaint.

Don't turn up to a shoot with a knackered old crop body, no one will take you seriously. Focus on photography you can afford, weddings and portrait need a 70-200 2.8, architecture and interiors can be done with a much more affordable 12-24 and you don't even need to work fast.

You are everything wrong with this country.

I was upset about this post until I saw £. With all sincerity, good luck, UK.

You're allowed to work 16 hours a week as a disabled person and still claim full benefits.
Do you think disabled people shouldn't be allowed to work at all? Or do you think there shouldn't be support for those that are less abled.

Or are you jus a jelly cuck.

Not like he said he is making 1200 a day.

And the A7ii is a potential way for him to no longer need welfare eventually.

Nothing wrong with a guy owning an average tool of the trade...

>average
You mean subpar. Brand in the business means more than the actual skills. if the camera has no bright "Nikon" or "Canon" written on it you are no good for at least half the customers

But he's getting £1200 a day, iirc for architecture. That's pretty impressive for a part timer with no online presence.

>>2972309
He didn't say how often he has a shoot. Can be once a month or less.

Nah, welfare pays for a nice 2 bedroom city centre apartment with large garden.

>city centre apartment with large garden.
Pic or it didn't happen. Also timestamp. Write "I'm a little teacup" with current date and time.

Fuck off and die you insufferable cunt

>>2972327
You literally said "I never got a loan or any handouts"
