Annie Lebovitz: Famed Deadbeat Photographer
Lebovitz got sued yet again for money owed. I don't know how she got into this financial mess, but she sure does. Most working photographers can't get the kind of money she got, in fact, on average, a photographer makes about $45,000 a year, with wedding photographer making close to $230,000 on the high end of the pay scale and children photographer trails last making less than $20,000 a year [source]. But Annie is not your average photographer, some say her gig at Vanity Fair earns her more than $2 million a year. Apparently the money she makes is big enough to get her into financial trouble and yet too little to bail herself out. I think Tim Geithner is her only hope now.

Are you sure there isn't one digit too many in the salary figure you gave for wedding photographers above, even allowing the fact that it's the high end of the scale?
ReplyDeleteThat's what my source says, though I do have my doubt, but I think there is some serious outliner who makes serious money doing wedding.
ReplyDeleteOn the other hand, I just checked the us depart of labor, the average annual salary for photographers is $35,640, but it doesn't break down the high and the low. The median is $29,440, the 90% percentile is $62,430. Source.
