Photography, in general, is a competitive field. There are many amateurs and professionals hunting for gigs in all areas of photography, and only a few are able to make a good living off the profession. The celebrity photography niche is not an exception. There are many who want to work with famous people and models, whether it is portraiture or event photography. Another option is also the paparazzi path, which can be a great source of income if you have the right type of personality for it, and especially if you find yourself in the right place at the right time.

So what does it take to become a celebrity photographer? Besides great photography and business skills, probably quite a bit of guts and connections. If you are not already well connected, which most of us aren’t, you will need to do a lot of cold calling to agents in the beginning. You might even have to do some work for free to develop an excellent portfolio, which will get you hired in the future. But it’s not all bad news! Once you get your foot in the door, it can be a really exciting career, where you will meet interesting personalities, get to do what you love and make money for it.
