Becoming a professional nature photographer is no easy feat. You don\u2019t just need an eye for a beautiful landscape or a striking wildlife scene, you also need to be business savvy.<\/p>\n
The most successful nature photographers in the world are the ones who manage this balancing act well and, in fact, it doesn\u2019t matter which photography niche you specialize in, you need to get this right to make a living from the craft.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n Fortunately, The Photography & Video Show<\/a> is just a week away with a schedule jam-packed with professionals ready and willing to share their wisdom on how to master capturing light, but also in ensuring you make enough money to keep the lights on at home.<\/p>\n While there are numerous speakers I could recommend, I\u2019m most excited to hear Bella Falk, an accomplished wildlife and travel photographer who\u2019s diversified her income across several photography-related streams, and Charlie Waite, the renowned landscape photographer with a unique creative style.<\/p>\n Charlie Waite<\/p>\n Speaking on Saturday 14 March | 12:00 \u2013 13:00 | Fundamentals Stage<\/p>\n Bella Falk <\/p>\n Speaking on Tuesday March 17 | 13:00 \u2013 13:45 | Canon<\/a> Spotlight stage<\/p>\n Bella Falk has an excellent eye for wildlife and travel photos, but also for shifting trends. As a BBC and National Geographic-published photographer and writer, not only is she a versatile creative, but she proves the importance of diversifying your skillset in today\u2019s landscape.<\/p>\n Becoming a self-employed photographer means embarking on the uncertain path of entrepreneurialism, and Bella\u2019s tips will give you a leg up along the way.<\/p>\n Bella\u2019s advice will be balanced nicely by what Charlie Waite has to say. Waite is an acclaimed landscape photographer who, during a career spanning over 40 years, has won numerous accolades including fellowships to the Royal Photographic Society and the British Institute of Professional Photography.<\/p>\n He has tons of wisdom to share at the Show, and I\u2019m most excited to learn about how he approaches shooting a scene and how he developed his instantly recognizable \u201cpainterly\u201d style.<\/p>\n If you\u2019re serious about making nature photography your living, Bella and Charlie will help you understand both sides of the professional coin.<\/p>\n Head to The Photography & Video Show<\/a> website to get your ticket and come along to the biggest photography event in the UK.
