Changing technology and the economic crisis have placed photographers in a difficult position. In the 21st Century, there has been an explosive mixture of infinite possibilities, a bombardment of information and decreasing prices have resulted in diverting people from their main objective of taking photographs.

In ´How to be a photographer in XXI Century? ´ we fight against the confusion and present useful strategies, both general and specific, to deal with this. We create our own Decision Map and study the market possibilities and thus create the necessary balance between our personal and professional projects.
