According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) the median pay for photographers, in 2019, was around $36,280 per year. That translated to a median rate of approximately $17.44 per hour. It’s a tough business to survive and thrive in, with BLS estimating there’ll be 4,800 fewer photographers by 2029 than there are today (a 4% decline in members!).
