I got a straight foward question. How much can a photographer earn?

These polls from a Singaporean forum might help answer your question:

There was another poll in those forums whereby photogs were asked if they should be raising their rates. Most answered yes - not sure if this is an indication that they are not earning enough, or that they know there is room to profit some more. Can't seem to local that poll though.

There are also misc problems about earnings, like not getting paid, paid late, customer argue your work is bad and pay partially, and copyright issues of photos you take while under employment.

Pretty interesting.. D rates r pretty good.. But is most of the photographer work by themselves.. or under company? If under company will they be underpay.

Is same as Interior designer. We work like shit n get Fxxk up with low pay. (unless u d boss) If work Freelance.... it will be a good earning.. Is this apply to Photographing too?

it's all about your work quality.
i believe one could earn more in commercial or ads (like product or fashion) photography

u don't earn that much for wedding unless you're already a well known/pro photographer and client don't mind paying you so much.
