A working photographer’s questions, methods, and professional realities

Will Chubb frames this photography book around the practical uncertainties of pursuing the field as a profession. Alongside behind-the-scenes explanations of how his photographs were made, it addresses creativity under competition, earning a living through photography, and pitfalls that can arise in the business. The emphasis is not only on finished images but on the decisions and working conditions surrounding their creation. In that sense, the book combines an individual photographer’s perspective with a candid look at photography as a career.
