Last week we took a trip to see a working studio, Jim Lennon allowed our class to take a tour of the studio he works out of and it was an interesting experience. We started out with a basic discussion about what types of photography you could do in the business, and how much you need to price yourself at to make a living on your passion. Jim showed us that photography isn't always a one-man job, having the right assistant and crew can make or break your business so having a good team is essential to a good workflow.
