At the suggestion of a musician friend, since 2011 I have had an accountant to keep track of all my commercial photography paperwork and prepare my taxes. I just send invoices for every gig I do, and receipts for expenses like lens rentals.
Unfortunately, this year he retired and I have not been able to find a similar alternative, so I am left trying to figure this out myself.
It occurred to me that I have literally never added up the total for how much my photography business has made. This is prior to all expenses and taxes:
All told, gross revenues have been $20,268.75. I have had between 18 (2016) and 0 (2021) gigs per year.
