Moonlighting
While studying Photographic Arts, most of the teaching staff were ex-pros who had returned to teach their craft full time, while moonlighting in various branches of photography. This was a wake up call for many of us, reflecting the ignorance of youth. These experienced and talented artists adopted a practical solution to deal with the financial inconsistencies of an artistic career.
Fact is, the vast majority of wedding photographers, are moonlighting. Is this something you should be concerned about?
Not in the least!
The ability to work professionally and responsibly is not just reserved for full time practitioners, my former teachers clearly exemplified it! It’s simply a lifestyle choice requiring a practical approach. In no way does it diminish acquired knowledge, experience, ability, ethics or devotion; then there's the more obvious: weddings are weekend events!
