Don’t Go Pro Until You Hear This - New Photographers Be Warned

Thinking of going pro with your photography? Before you dive in, this episode of The Loud Lens lays down the brutal truth — because turning your passion into a business can mess with your mental health, your money, and your personal life if you’re not ready.

We’re cutting through the fluff and influencer BS to ask the real questions:

• Do you actually have time to run a real business?

• Can you handle the legal, admin, and marketing side — not just the creative?

• Are you prepared for the emotional burnout, comparison spiral, and financial chaos that come with it?

• And most importantly — is going pro going to ruin your love for photography?

This is for the UK-based photographers who feel pressured to monetise their art — when maybe, the smarter move is to protect it.

Listen now before you turn joy into stress and call it a career.
