🌟Thank you all so much for all the support over the past 4 years - it truly means the world to me!
Comment from : @MarkDenneyPhoto

Per your approach, it's WAY TOO MUCH work to be a "landscape professional" It's more marketing executive than photographer It would rip all of the joy out of my photography if I had to market myself that much, that often

How do I sell prints ?
Comment from : @nakitablackwell767

it seems like you make money telling people how to take photos, but looks like theres no money in taking photos
Comment from : @kylestansfield2642

Starting out in the landscape photography and thinking about income is daunting for sure Thank goodness I'm retired and have the time But, im sure I will struggle
Comment from : @brucedelorme5026

Hey Mark Congrats on the milestone I took my camera on a road trip to Maine First time there and got some bangers I will always remember Cheers!
Comment from : @danielbranam8503

So basically you can make all sorts of money from landscape photography apart from selling the actual product of landscape photography which is the photos themselves While I do appreciate the candor, this is a tell tale sign for all of us expecting to make actual money from landscape photography And this is also a huge discouragement not to mention a warning sign, for people who wish to sign up for your online courses and actually expect to make their money back through landscape photography

Comment from : @AnnkurKumar

I am watching it again in November 2024, I am figuring out how to make money with landscape photography Can you give new advice from your experience ( that can change my life) as it is 2024 and this video was published in 2022 I am not earning yet
Comment from : @AnnkurKumar

How did you decide that your photography and technical knowledge were at the requisite level necessary to host destination workshops?
Comment from : @jwbharper

Have you ever tried to sale your works on saachi art gallery platform?
Comment from : @synplotnika

So you are making less money than your corporate job but maybe you're happier
Comment from : @jeffgardner288

I don’t think somebody who is afraid of heights is going to be a tight rope walker in the circus There is a difference between comfort zone and br‘ against your nature’ I am quite content I love photography and I don’t necessarily need to make money from it
Comment from : @willbart1236

Average of 87k Not great, but given that the first year was only 12k, that means an average of 112k per year after that not bad at all! i love photography but my day job (software engineer) pays me 250k and i enjoy it no way photography would ever come close to that for me
Comment from : @StevenDavisPhoto

Can I make money in Landscape photography without You tuber or Seminar s
Comment from : @bobortiz

I just launched my Youtube channel, I've been a pro photographer in the past and I'm getting back to it today with a more focused approach to sharing So a huge thank you for this video! She will save me a lot of time thank you again
Comment from : @EricLarigaldie

Lol so the way to make a living as a landscape photographer - is to not photograph landscapes
Comment from : @aps-pictures9335

Time to hire some help?
Comment from : @D9david

This would a be a dream Glad to see someone doing well I want to do this since i ride my dual sport motorcycle in very remote areas with stunning views
Comment from : @drzrider3440

How about a vid on how to get these sponsors and affiliate deals ?
Comment from : @sleekimagesphotography

This is a good breakdown That being said, this video is essentially conveying that the path to revenue is to become a youtuber/influencer
Comment from : @raphaelprotti5536

Only one landscape photographer ever made the jump to the general public as a landscape photographer That would be Ansel Adams
Comment from : @Thekennel177

That's a good idea Thanks for sharing Those are good customers you found there The best thing about your business model is that it's repeatable You don't have to have 10,000 to make money, you can get as much or more money with 100 customers
Comment from : @CaleMcCollough

@12:57 Youtube is per se social media
Comment from : @H_Oscarsson

bad title for this video, most of this has nothing to do with making money with landscape photography imo it's basically telling everyone to become a photography influencer/experiencer oof thumbs down and out by 11mins glhf
Comment from : @rayuvlight4

I know this is a super late comment but are these numbers pre or post taxes?
Comment from : @duelonYT

Our backgrounds are so similar I left corporate America 20 years ago 25 years ago now I would definitely like to have a one-on-one at some point This is some great information and I appreciate every minute of it Thank you so much💯
Comment from : @PapaBradAbides

Do you have a workshop on how to keep track of all the numbers/business and the graphs? 📊😮
Comment from : @Iamemmyxo

6:33, landscape photography and affiliate marketing!! How?
Comment from : @AnnkurKumar

Very well done and also very self- and business-reflected video, great work!
Comment from : @MatthiasHaltenhof

It's great to see a photographer breaking down the business aspects, thank you for that I'm following along, and see that in the pie chart, you have 20 of revenue from 2021 as print sales, but when you get the individual bar graphs, you show $200 in income in 2021 from print sales So which one is it? Cheers
Comment from : @JakWonderly

So basically you can't make money in photography unless you make content talking about photography
Comment from : @ChadMuitoGato

LMAO1 in 5000 photogs make money on landscape images They just don't sellfolks want waaaay too much for an over edited snap shot All landscape photogs either make their money off YouTube or doing paid photo walks/courses Look at Nick PageSells Iceland trips!
Comment from : @MrDan1509

Good job 😊
Comment from : @SHRI_the_DIY_Warrior

Hi There , do I have to copyright my photographs, before selling them Or posting them on stock sites ??
Comment from : @BettyBee8

Hi Mark, I was approved as a contributor for getty images, in setting up an account there is a tax info portion theredo I really need to give them my SSN?
Comment from : @akoto3377

Great info and good inspiration How long did it take you to master the outdoor niche? I love nature, and I am very outdoors; I am just a hobbyist in nature photography, but I always wanted to learn more to monetize it Thank you again
Comment from : @JoseSorianoPhotography

Love your very informative videos! I have a question for you, and perhaps you have already addressed this in previous video; How do you keep the thousands of photos and videos you have gathered and uploaded to various sites, organized? I'm just getting started and have thousands of photos to sort through and organizing these is driving me NUTS!
Comment from : @getoutwithrockandsherri

Super informative and eyes opening Thank you for making this one
Comment from : @AdamTrackIT

Excellent! Need a mentor like you 👍
Comment from : @nasiddiky4071

Thank you for sharing your financial info Very honest of you brIf you fancy doing a Scotland workshop (castles & lochs etc) look me up 👍
Comment from : @martinrossphotography

What is your overhead for workshops?
Comment from : @jessmale971

How did you get your first sponsorship and what did you do to hone to a specific style or ask?
Comment from : @jessmale971

Selling shovels in a gold rush :-) - great vid thanks - a like and sub from me
Comment from : @MightyCraicDJ

I want to start my own photography business I love landscape photography, but I think doing portraits will produce $ faster? Im not working at the moment Im at home watching my daughter, and would like to start getting side $ to help support my family So many ducks to get in a row I dont do youtube, fb Im starting to build followers, all landscape I just moved close to the Canadian rockies Doesnt look like much $ is to be made with landscape photography by the looks of it? I want to do both and hope they both produce lol Thanks for sharing 👍
Comment from : @Rainy78

Great insight! I’ve been in the business for 10 years now and it isn’t easy! Sharing info is absolutely a great way to make everyone better
Comment from : @delagallery5980

Yes, I love what you said about marketing to other photographers for prints, wrong :) So nice to see another photographer share this
Comment from : @JaniceSullivan

Coming back to this video now about 11 months later, I wonder if it's possible to make a reasonable living by selling your photography online, but not necessarily do things like videos or classes, which I know many photographers do to make money online Or put another way, how can you go about selling your work online and being profitable and finding enough clients to buy your work? I mean I'd love to make a side income from my photography (both online and offline) but as for the online component, I don't really want to start a YT channel or sell classes/courses
Comment from : @HR-wd6cw

Is there a print on demand service/s that you recommend for using on my squarespace site?
Comment from : @jpobrien1973

That is why you fail or in my case why I'm so rubbish lol but how did you manage so much? Did you know a lot about photography and how to do a channel and how to engage people and know about marketing? Very well done
Comment from : @TonyHobbs

So I feel this is click bate at its finest Half the video is you talking about make money not how to make money doing land scape Photography brCan you make a video that actually talks about this in detail to what the title suggest?
Comment from : @jonnyquickalive

I love you bro
Comment from : @israelLuevano-kr7er

Man, you just burst my bubble Basically, you just said there’s no money in landscape photography As a person who, lean towards being shy and introverted, I could never be a content creator At the same time, I would have no interest in leading workshops I am about to break bad on a Fujifilm GFX 50SII and a couple of GM lenses I guess I’m gonna be a broke landscape photographer
Comment from : @willbart1236

Is it possible to live of landscape photography without youtube? How would you shift your focus if you wold not do youtube?
Comment from : @brottochstraff

Excellent!
Comment from : @jammer777

This is an older video but I am amazed you are sharing this information It is very generous of you and one I certainly needed to hear I have a day job and do photography in my spare time This gives me some hope…brbrI had a reasonably successful workshop business but Covid killed it and I’m working on bringing it backbrbrThank you for doing what you do
Comment from : @jasoneldridgephotography

Thank you so much for sharing this!
Comment from : @andrecoxa

Hi Mark! Thank you so much for this great advice! I enjoy it very much how you see photography and how you communicate it to the others Best of luck to you!
Comment from : @tom_photo

I'm very happy for your success! It's depressing though that it seems all but impossible to make money as a landscape photography with the photography itself Not everybody has the personality to do youtube or run workshops etc
Comment from : @compostdave

We’ll done, Mark Congrats
Comment from : @GavinDavidson

I haven’t watched this entire video yet Mark but I can tell you I’m not at all surprised at your success, honestly you’re a class act and a smart cookie, the math is quite simple, wish you continued success ! 👍👏😀
Comment from : @antonoat

Thank you very much for this video
Comment from : @MichalVoros

So, forget about the art of photography; instead, create a brand, market yourself and give people 'value' We used to have David Bowie, now we have Ed Sheeran
Comment from : @bobshuwab1988

Thanks for sharing this Mark!! Congrats on all that you have achieved Keep up the awesome work I always look forward to your videos 🙌
Comment from : @alexmorriss

What is the difference between Instagram and having a Squarespace website? Should I be putting the same photos on both of them? Another thing How do I prevent others from copying my photos?
Comment from : @49er1680

Great break down of the way you make money in different areas But did you actually make any money directly from your landscape photos other than print?
Comment from : @thesafaripete

The most practical, informative, photography video I’ve seen Thank you!
Comment from : @davidligon6088

If you were to make money without building a brand, how would you finance it? If you couldn't brand yourself using your name and image, how would you go about it? I neither want to use my name nor image for future online business, I want the result/art to be the sole focus, but it feels like I would trap myself in a niche box and could potentially prevent scaling well over time
Comment from : @metasamsara

Hi, first of all thanks for the great content I have been watching your videos for a while now I want to ask, what are your thoughts on wildlife photography I see you specialize specifically on landscape Is it a good idea I do both?
Comment from : @bulgiriri

Hi Mark, I greatly appreciate the detailed info you’ve provided in this video I do have one lingering question though - what are your operational costs? Im guessing you spend a significant amount on travel and perhaps advertising or sponsored/promoted content I’m trying to get a ballpark on net profit vs gross revenue brCheers!
Comment from : @johnarnsdorf

Very well said Love your content Learning so much Thanks and am happy for your success
Comment from : @richardburguillos3118

It's trully impressive how much you achieved and how you became a reference in landscape photography in so little time! Cheers!
Comment from : @lucasmarques9192

Fantastic Video Thank you Mark
Comment from : @black-and-light

Awesome, very insteresting 👍🏻
Comment from : @rurixmotovlog3472

Hi, I'm curious about what you think about YouTube being the main engine for your career What you would be right now without the push that YouTube gave and give to you? How much do you think it counts? I believe it is fundamental and without it it would have been almost impossible
Comment from : @marcopigoni9483

This video is amazing contentwise, but bar charts going right to left confused the hell out of me :D
Comment from : @kuvisit

That graph immediately made me sad I’m a videographer as well, but is it really impossible to make money and sell prints without making a YouTube channel and grinding it for years? I really do not want to do that
Comment from : @Dnbootin

That idea of landscape photo experience, not things confirms an intuition I had Thanks for sharing all this with us!
Comment from : @ThomasParis

Thanks for being so transparent and sharing your experience Well, this confirmed that I won't be getting rich selling prints I'm not a public speaker or trainer, so there goes that I better hold on to my FT corp job 😁
Comment from : @Fotogoscar

Thank you for sharing this valuable information, all the best to you in the future
Comment from : @roberthennessey5702

Mark, I feel like one of the reasons you have been so successful on YouTube is that you are an incredible educator You have the incredible skill of being able to break complex or tricky concepts into something that feels really simple Your technical videos on composition or editing are just next level Being an educator is not easy and you are definitely one of the best Congrats to all of your success
Comment from : @joe_a_photo

I had to stop drinking, smoking and using drugs to support my photography habit Still can't figure out how to make money without trading my time for money But good info
Comment from : @demetriomontoya320

Great honesty as always thanks for sharing 👍
Comment from : @volkansorkun

One thing that I’ve found to be very useful is it’s not “how” you do it but “who” you need to make it happen, it seems like a lot of your revenue is being blocked by your lack of time Maybe you should find other people or systems to help you generate more revenue and keep growing multiple streams at once
Comment from : @zachyim2353

Mark: Great presentation I appreciated your insights on starting and running a business I'm president of a family business that is 125 years old My grandfather started the business after working for and with Thomas Edison, Henry Ford and Nicola Tesla Edison invented consumer photography for George Eastman of Eastman Kodak, he invented motion pictures and the phonograph He has 1093 US patents the most of anyone brbrI have boxes of mistakes that we've made And we keep making them But we remember that it isn't trial and error--It's trial and success!
