This Infographic Shows You What It Really Means To Be A Wedding Photographer

If you’ve been considering taking the plunge into the world of professional, or even semi-professional, photography you may want to take a look at this clever infographic designed by a professional wedding photographer in Italy, Francesco Spighi. Though it is aimed at brides to be, shedding some light on the realities of being a wedding photographer, it’s also serves as a reality check for anyone considering starting their own photography business.

I think this graphic stands true of just about any style of photography whether it be wedding photography, commercial photography, or otherwise. A lot more time and effort goes into finishing the job than most people notice. Of course, we should all follow our passions, but it never hurts to know what you are getting yourself into beforehand. The very fact that infographics such as this one exists is an example of how thankless the job can be at times.
