It’s fun to get caught up in photography. Going to shoots and taking pictures of different people or things is more often than not a new experience to be enjoyed. But how many people see that there’s also a business side to things. There’s work involved, which includes tasks such as networking, marketing, customer service, finances, and etc. The actual act of photography accounts for about 10% of your work according to this month’s feature photographer Alex Munoz. A good 90% of photography work is related to business tasks. Read his interview and learn how he first got his foot in the door and how he continues to grow his photography business. I’m sure you’ll also enjoy his stunning gallery of images that he has shared with us.

Beauty surrounds all of us, and people perceive it in various ways. It’s important for photographers to find their own way of capturing what they see as precious moments in time. Many find niches they’re comfortable working in and they continuously refine their skill sets to accommodate the vision they’ve established. Laura Schumpert and Jeanne Johnson are living examples of how this is done. They`ve shared their experiences with us so that we can better set our own direction.

Having a vision and a sense of direction are important components to any photography business, but so are hard work and perseverance. You’ll get a sense of what each has to offer when you read the interview from Sander Poppe and the article by Tony Luna.

bokeh019Starting your own photography business is not an easy task. It takes a lot of hard work, and it requires you to be constantly pushing and teaching yourself new things.

bokeh021What I love about photography is how universal it is in its use. People are able to use photography to cultivate a myriad of passions. You’ll be able to see different facets of photography at work through the interviews found in this month’s issue of Bokeh Magazine.

The feature interview is with DuendePhoto, a husband and wife team that has established themselves in the California Bay Area. Ken and Brady work well together and their styles are definitely unique. Their collection of Yosemite wedding pictures is amazing.

We’ve all started somewhere, and those beginnings can sometimes be challenging. That doesn’t mean we should be discouraged when things seem to be progressing slowly.
