The amounts below are purely hypothetical and used only to paint a realistic picture of the expenses photographers face behind the scenes.

People see a “R5 500 photoshoot” and think photographers pocket R5 500.

Here’s a realistic breakdown of where that actually goes:

Client pays: R5 500

• Put away tax money (VAT + income tax)
R5 500 → ±R4 125

• Payment processing / transaction fees
R4 125 → ±R3 950

• SD cards (1–2 cards for a session, average cost)
±R1 200–R2 400
R3 950 → ±R2 750–R1 550

• Monthly business expenses split across sessions
(storage, gallery delivery, website, subscriptions, editing software, etc.)
±R800
R2 750–R1 550 → ±R1 950–R750

• Fuel + travel to and from session
±R300–R700+ depending on location
R1 950–R750 → ±R1 650–R50

And that’s before:

• equipment upgrades and repairs
• camera bodies and lenses
• computers and hard drives
• insurance
• education and workshops
• advertising and marketing
• time spent shooting
• hours of editing
• emails, planning, culling, gallery delivery, bookkeeping, admin, and many other unpaid hours

Photography is a business — not just “showing up and taking pictures.”

Behind every gallery is years of investment, late nights, creative energy, and a significant amount of unseen work. I appreciate the clients who understand the value and effort behind the final product.

Three years of turning moments into memories 📸

Today I’m celebrating 3 years of professional photography and I’m honestly so grateful for every single person who has trusted me with their special moments.

From the early days of learning and growing, to capturing weddings, families, milestones, and real, raw emotions… this journey has been nothing short of amazing.

Thank you to every client, every referral, every like, share, and kind word. You’ve helped me build something I truly love.

Here’s to more growth, more creativity, and many more unforgettable moments ahead.

With gratitude 🤍
