Snap Geek Photography started off as a hobby with my love for photography, eventually on Aug 13, 2010 it formed into a business where I started doing Landscape photography which proved to make zero money. I morphed the business into portraits for clients hoping to replace my normal income so I could quit my day job.

I soon found out that running any sort of a successful business was way more work than I had the time or energy to manage. Running a business solo requires me to fill multiple hats from advertising, running the business side of it, and also doing the actual work of taking photos for clients. I simply found myself overwhelmed with everything else I had going on in my life.

My business never panned out, never made me enough money to pay for the camera gear and other equipment I purchased for the business let alone paid for my time to take photos for clients. I ended up funding the entire business out of pocket for the entire time the business existed.

Not to mention my friends, family and others constantly discouraging me from following my dreams. I also grew tired of friends and family expecting me to offer services to them for free.

Truth is, anymore everybody with a camera claims to be a photographer. I grew tired of advertising my business only to have others chime in on my ads with their own businesses trying to steal my spotlight.

Photography conferences are a joke as well, they teach you information that is barely useful. Most people with successful photography businesses don’t make 100% of their money from photography, they have side gigs as well. Photography simply isn’t profitable as a business on it’s own in my personal opinion.

In the end I only kept snapgeek.com alive to promote and share my photography work. I decided however it was time to retire the website as the business is long dead.

So I leave you with the remains of my online portfolio which u may view if you desire.
