Bro just my view on tis going Pro n stuff.
Frankly speaking, one shd consider going Pro wen one feel tat he/she has tat special something in his photography tat others do not. I.e it's unique.
If the talent tat one has is so-so and he's worry tat he does not have a market then i suppose one shdnt even consider abt it.
It's just like starting a business, any business at all, u wanna start because u can offer wat others cant. Or u can offer what others can but maybe at much lowest cost. But normally wen drawing customers just by price, well i wud say the pulling power wont last very long as someone else out there will quote a much lower price.
So wat i'm tryin to say, why worry abt e cheap or low charges that people are quoting to get that 1 or 2 jobs cuz if u have tat special talent u will always be in demand. dont worry abt the tonnes of photographers that are coming into the market. just look at Will03 or even Joho .. their work says it all superb and 1 of a kind .. at least to me tat is .. wud thousands of new photographers eat into their market? i guess not .. hey by all means jump into it as at the end of the day the demand will always be there if your work is unique. Of course there will always be those people who wanna have a share of the pie. I believe it's big enuff
Tat's my take on going Pro or not. Sorry, have no intention of starting any war. Peace out.
