Kodak used to keep statistics on the photography market, including the average income of working photographers.


A friend, Kodak engineer, told me years ago that the median income for photographers had steadily declined (adjusted for inflation) since the 1960's.


Economically, photographers have been their own worse enemy. And, despite the good efforts by a number of professional trade organizations and schools that have created business education curriculum for photographers, the trend continues.

Some years ago an Art Buyer at a big time Ad Agency told me that we photographers had ruined the photography  business  by selling ourselves too cheap.
And so it goes.
