Two photography communities – UK Black Female Photographers Community (UKBFTOG) and Storytellhers – have come together to bring you an honest and practical conversation about how to build a financially sustainable freelance photography career that works for you.

Featuring an all-female panel of photographers, we’ll be talking openly about the realities of building a creative career – from the exciting moments to the challenges that often aren’t talked about.

We’ll explore the different ways its possible to build a sustainable photography career, including finding clients, transitioning to full-time work, managing the realities of freelancing and diversifying your income so that quiet periods don’t throw your whole business off balance.
