Photographer

You'll shoot weddings, portraits, products, or events — and spend triple the shooting time on editing, client communication, and chasing invoices. Everyone thinks they're a photographer because they have an iPhone. You know the difference.

What you'll actually do

• 01Plan and execute photo shoots on location or in studio
• 02Edit and retouch images in Lightroom and Photoshop
• 03Communicate with clients about creative direction
• 04Manage bookings, contracts, and invoicing (you're a photographer AND a small business)
• 05Maintain and upgrade camera equipment
• 06Market yourself on social media (your own content is your ad)
• 07Smile through the 47th 'can you Photoshop me thinner' request
