In this week’s episode, we discuss how to make money online with landscape photography. Making a living with landscape photography can be a bit difficult as the path is not quite as clear as say a wedding or real estate photographer, but it can be done with a bit of creative thinking. In this video, I’ll share with you what revenue channels worked for me and which ones didn’t, along with my total financial results for the past 4 years. If you’re thinking about starting an online photography business, then I hope this week’s video provides you with a framework to follow or at least provides a couple of tips you can apply to your startup process. As always thanks so much for watching! – Mark D.

@MarkDenneyPhoto
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 am🌟Thank you all so much for all the support over the past 4 years – it truly means the world to me!
@JoseSorianoPhotography
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amGreat 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
@MrBlubb80
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amLoving your videos and style! What I'm puzzled about. Who is able and willing to afford those workshops. I looked at the prices (general,not only yours) and they are really quite steep so that only people that have a job that leaves them very little time for their hobby are probably able to participate.
@getoutwithrockandsherri
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amLove 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!
@civicb16a3
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amSuper informative and eyes opening. Thank you for making this one
@nasiddiky4071
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amExcellent! Need a mentor like you. 👍
@martinrossphotography
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThank you for sharing your financial info. Very honest of you.
If you fancy doing a Scotland workshop (castles & lochs etc) look me up 👍
@jessmale971
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amWhat is your overhead for workshops?
@jessmale971
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amHow did you get your first sponsorship and what did you do to hone to a specific style or ask?
@MightyCraicDJ
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amSelling shovels in a gold rush 🙂 – great vid thanks – a like and sub from me
@-R-A-I-N-Y-
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amI 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 👍
@delagallery5980
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amGreat 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.
@JaniceSullivan
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amYes, I love what you said about marketing to other photographers for prints, wrong 🙂 So nice to see another photographer share this…
@TheRealHawKing
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThat's what i'm passionnate about… duh this is where you make your money
Thanks for the tips 🙂
@HR-wd6cw
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amComing 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.
@jpobrien1973
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amIs there a print on demand service/s that you recommend for using on my squarespace site?
@TonyHobbs
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThat 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
@jonnyquickalive
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amSo 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.
Can you make a video that actually talks about this in detail to what the title suggest?
@rogergranquist
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amSo… basically landscape photography is pretty much an MLM type business… lol. You don’t make a living producing the product, but rather getting other people to “sign up” under you via workshops and YouTube tutorials, who then will also likely not make money producing landscape photography. 😅
@Steaphany
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amSo, if a person is not a social butterfly natural educator, should we just give up and delete all digital files, burn negatives, and trash camera collections ?
@israelLuevano-kr7er
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amI love you bro
@willbart1236
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amMan, 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.
@brottochstraff
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amIs it possible to live of landscape photography without youtube? How would you shift your focus if you wold not do youtube?
@jammer777
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amExcellent!
@jasoneldridgephotography
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThis 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….
I had a reasonably successful workshop business but Covid killed it and I’m working on bringing it back.
Thank you for doing what you do.
@andrecoxa
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThank you so much for sharing this!
@tom_photo
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amHi 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!
@compostdave
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amI'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.
@GavinDavidson
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amWe’ll done, Mark. Congrats.
@antonoat
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amI 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 ! 👍👏😀
@MichalVoros
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThank you very much for this video…
@bobshuwab1988
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amSo, 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.
@alexmorriss
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThanks for sharing this Mark!! Congrats on all that you have achieved. Keep up the awesome work. I always look forward to your videos. 🙌
@49er1680
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amWhat 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?
@ARTIST-AT-LARGE
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThanks for sharing this information! My two niches in photography are travel/lifestyle (which includes landscape) and abstract fine art images. I think your corporate background served you well. I went to art school – where we learned nothing about business. I would love to do travel photography workshops … I haven't quite figured out how to go about it. I think I would like to be a secondary workshop leader on a few trips just to reverse engineer it and figure it out as I never travel in group situations myself, I have no idea what people expect, and the furthest out I ever make in my travel plans is the airline reservation. Maybe that's a subject for a future video?
@thesafaripete
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amGreat 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?
@davidligon6088
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amThe most practical, informative, photography video I’ve seen. Thank you!
@metasamsara
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amIf 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.
@bulgiriri
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amHi, 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?
@johnarnsdorf
February 2, 2024 - 7:32 amHi 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.
Cheers!
