Canadian photographer Aaron Vincent Elkaim<\/a> interviews Larry Towell<\/em> on Vice in a piece entitled You Will Change: Magnum Photographer Larry Towell Has Advice for Young Photojournalists<\/a>.\u00a0 Its an interesting post about one of today’s more interesting Magnum photographers, though probably the advice, good though it is, is unlikely to improve the financial condition of those taking it.<\/p>\n

Somewhere else on the web I took a quick look at a piece 19 Signs You Are Treating Your Photography as a Hobby and Not a Business<\/a><\/span><\/em> by Bradford<\/em> (Bradford Rowley), who describes himself as “one the most expensive portrait photographer in the world with an impressive list of prominent clientele.\u00a0 He operates studios in New York, California and on world famous Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. \u00a0He has made over 20 million dollars from selling portraits. He has taught photographers from more than 70 countries.<\/em>“<\/p>\n

Its a rather different approach. Having met some of the best photographers in the world and read about rather more of them, I think most would count at hobbyists to Bradford. Few have been in it just as a business.<\/p>\n

As Larry Towell says:<\/p>\n

The main thing is to be on the right side, and if you’re not on the right side… then you’re probably going to make a lot of money.<\/em><\/p>\n
