manush’s Answer

It depends on whether you are working alone or with friends, freelancing, or with a production studio team. and also it depends upon the project you are doing, whether a wedding, an event, or just family portraits or landscapes, nature just anything. you got to value yourself with time. working for more than a few hours is that any good for me or not, is it worth my time and value? you have to think about that. Honestly take your time on the project but don't take forever. slowly with experience and knowing the time and its value, you will gradually be faster than before.
So don't overthink about how many hours, it all depends upon the project and your experience.

I personally would usually work from 12 - 6 daily, but that doesn’t mean I can’t go longer than that on a regular day

Angel’s Answer

My friend worked as a photographer, and they usually logged around 20 to 40 hours a week, depending on the season and projects. During busy times, like wedding season, they often put in long hours, sometimes working 10 to 12 hours a day, especially on weekends. They enjoyed the flexibility of the job, but it also meant juggling editing photos late into the night. Overall, being a photographer can be rewarding but requires a good balance of creativity and hard work. It’s a great choice if you’re passionate about capturing moments!

Fabrício’s Answer

Since 2000, I've been honing my craft as a professional photographer, tackling a wide range of projects, each presenting its own unique set of challenges and requiring a distinct approach. On average, I dedicate approximately 12 hours to each project, encompassing the stages of research, execution, and post-production. However, it's crucial to understand that the life of a photographer extends beyond just producing captivating images.

It's about crafting a personal brand, growing a compelling portfolio, staying updated with the latest industry trends, and constantly polishing one's skills. Moreover, a significant part of my photography expertise is channelled into educating and guiding others, enriching my journey as a photographer with a variety of experiences and rewarding outcomes.
