Tim Tadder is a wildly successful commercial photographer in a time when the term “wildly successful photographer” sounds like an oxymoron. So RGG EDU went to Tim’s house and asked him 18 questions about the photo industry, which Tim answered while playing some leisurely putt putt in his backyard.
The series is called Par for the Course (get it?…) and the whole thing has been published as a YouTube playlist here.
This is exactly the kind of information aspiring professional photographers need, and simultaneously the kind of stuff that’s rarely the subject of viral photography videos online. Too few people tackle the business problems of being a professional photographer, but Tim drops some really important information in these videos—from how to determine your pricing, to what social media sites you should use, to more basic questions like “where is the photo industry headed?”
