  • Landscape photographer "Peter Lik" has made over $200 million from selling his photos so i'll be fine :)

  • @DavidHeatonPhoto even some of the highest paid photographers are declaring bankruptcy.

  • Any chance of a video to go with this about how to charge for the price of images, days work, images usage etc... That would be a great help.

  • @AlTyler138 already done that, check the link below, but in the end you have to figure out your own costs vs what you gain from what you shoot. gaining money is one thing, exposure, access to locations, models contacts etc is another. watch?v=yMwY7Epc-g0

  • is free health care good? how long do you have to wait to see a dr? in wisconson USA, the free places for poor people is 3-4 weeks wait.

  • @leepaothao only a day or two, more just depends on my diary. but what i do like is that if i fall or (Best example) need 3 stitches in me, it costs me nothing, Eyepatchentertainment (youtube videographer) has to pay $7000 for 3 stitches. put this link after the .com watch?v=1_50QMhkhAc

  • Hello From Brazil! Nice Vids, tnks for sharing

  • crap....and tons of peopple stil want you to do the job for free....they think we,photographers dont eat

  • Sorry but you have titled this video wrongly, it should have read, How much do I appreciate my parents. Now can we have another video on pricing of jobs to make a living/profit, including unforeseen costs and downtime.

  • Great video Dom very interesting

  • living with my mam is sooo much easier :P

  • @mrman17 I meant national insurance

  • Health care in the UK isn't really "free" (well, I guess it is if you're unable to work), it's paid by those who work via Nation Insurance Contributions and comes out of your wages before you get paid. Something you still have to pay for and handle as well as taxes if you are self employed.
