That’s where ShutterScoop comes in. We’re here to guide you, whether you’re just starting or looking to refine your skills.
Before we dive into our content, here’s a quick look at some exciting trends in photography as of 2024:
1. Growing Industry: The global photography market is booming – expected to reach $44.07 billion by 2025. This growth shows just how important photography has become, especially with the rise of digital content.
2. Camera Trends: Cameras are making a comeback! The first half of 2024 saw a jump in camera sales, especially mirrorless models, which are popular among photographers in their 30s. While younger photographers often stick to their smartphones, older photographers are still balancing between DSLRs and mirrorless cameras.
3. Earning Potential: Photographers are seeing better pay, with salaries expected to rise by 12% in the next five years. If you’re thinking about going full-time, a growing number of photographers earn over $100,000 a year.
4. Phone Photography: Younger photographers, mainly those aged 18-20, use phone cameras more than ever, especially for landscape shots. This trend highlights how portable and versatile phone cameras have become.
5. Thriving Businesses: Photography businesses are thriving, with 51% of photographers saying they’re busier than expected in 2024. This shows a robust and stable industry that’s full of opportunities.
These trends show that photography is an exciting and growing field with plenty of opportunities for everyone.
