What if I'm an event or wedding photographer whose business was shut down by the pandemic?

If you’re an event, wedding, or portrait photographer whose work has been shut down, now is the time to launch the fine art side of your photography that you’ve always wanted to pursue. Every photographer in these fields has personal work they’d love to sell. Use this disruption as an opportunity to diversify out of what is essentially a ‘hurricane zone’—event-based businesses that can be completely wiped out by circumstances beyond your control. Building a fine art business gives you a sustainable income stream that isn’t dependent on in-person events. The market is wide open for photographers ready to make this transition, and you already have the skills and equipment you need.
