It's hard to make good money from photography. Like in any profession, once you reach a certain level, you can make a huge amount of money, and there are people who shoot for 20,000 pounds a day. But there are also lots of people that will shoot for 200 pounds a day, and not shoot every day. I think, on the whole, there's more photographers than there are jobs for photographers, so a lot of photographers will find it hard to make good money. Different types of photography make different amounts of money. If you go into fashion and you go into commercial photography, the pay is much better, although it's much harder to make your way. If you do social photography, like weddings and private portraits, the money is actually easier to come by, although it probably doesn't pay quite as well. The hardest thing to do is to do what everyone else wants to do, which is portrait shows, which is what I do, and shoot for newspapers as well.
