As a professional photographer, one of the main concerns is how much you can earn in this field. Salaries can vary greatly depending on various factors such as specialisation, experience and geographical location. Here are some relevant facts you should know about photographers' salaries:

Specialisation

A photographer's salary can vary depending on his or her specialisation. For example, wedding and event photographers can earn much more than landscape or product photographers. There are also photographers specialising in fashion, sports, portraits, among others.
