Photographer is one of the most exciting professions in the world. It makes it possible to express thoughts, feelings and attitudes towards the world around us through photography, to talk and be heard, bypassing language barriers. It is a rare amateur who does not think about living off his hobby, but he is faced with the first serious problem: there are not many professional photographers he knows, especially successful ones, and those who know the “magic word” are in no hurry to show all their cards to the neophyte. The author of the book, a famous St. Petersburg photographer, shares the secrets of building a photography business and organizing the work process of a freelance photographer.
