Like Darwin said, it’s survival of the fittest. Not the strongest but the most suitable for the environment. This is the main point to understand for profitable business as well.

Photography has its unique place most likely because its quite easy. Umberella lit photo is not exactly rocket sciense now is it.

I understand the pros when they cry about us hobbiest doing their jobs for free or with ridicelous prices and it happens alot.

Im trying to find the line between.. The starting point, to get couple gigs without ruining someones living unintentionaly.

I do not feel bad though if I take some “pros” gig because Im cheaper and can produce better pictures.

I get my living from IT-industry and I haven’t heard of a single business who achieved a stable market by whining to it’s competitors for providing a similar service for lower prices. This kind of behaviour is unique to photographing community :)

First, thanks to all for your views! Its really nice to get some feedback.

Maybe I’m overthinking the whole thing. Like Tomi said with the internet the busines is really transparent. I posted a wedding gallery online for the enquirers to show what to expect from me.
