Can you take a photo and make 4 tenth of a penny per photo? On top of that, you have have to buy your own equipment, track the celebrities yourself, go there, pay for your own gas,…
To make a living at it, you will need to make at least 500,000 photos per year! That's 2 Canon 1DMk3 per year + the lenses or a little bit cheaper 2 Nikon D3. You can't even use cheaper cameras, the shutter would only last 3 month.
- The sickest part of the situation is that they have over a million photos! Who is dumb enough to supply them with these photos?
- PRPhotos have their own servers, and they need to pay for the bandwidth every month or they immediately go out of business.
- PRPhotos has a staff of 5 employees. How can they pay their salaries?
