This "May Day" short holiday, Wang Jingyi who is graduating from university in two months did not rest. She was not busy looking for a job, but working as a part-time photographer on Taobao to take promotional photos of products. Yesterday, she calculated her earnings for the reporter: in April, she shot videos for 6 stores and earned 3000 yuan in one week; for May, the business she has already taken on will not be less than 5000 yuan.
Wang Jingyi is a senior student majoring in animation at Hubei Academy of Fine Arts. In her first year, she used her saved pocket money to buy a digital camera, "because I couldn't keep up with note-taking, I bought the camera to take pictures of the teacher's blackboard writings." Since then, she gradually fell in love with photography, carrying her camera wherever she went and reading books about photography in the library whenever she had time. During the summer vacation of her second year, with the support of her father who also loved photography, Wang Jingyi owned her first professional DSLR camera, "the body and lens cost about 20,000 yuan, and I have been thinking about how to earn this money back."
At the beginning of this year, Wang Jingyi found an internship at a photo studio as a photography assistant. Carrying ladders, holding reflectors, she often worked 12 hours a day. Despite the trivial and hard work, she did not give up and slowly started shooting videos with professional photographers. The studio had a wide range of businesses, from wedding photos to promotional videos, Wang Jingyi's photography skills improved significantly.
Two months ago, a classmate opened a Taobao online store and asked Wang Jingyi to take product photos, earning 150 yuan in half a day. She thought that online stores frequently update their products, and commercial photography would definitely have a market. She logged into the Taobao forum, left messages in stores, and left her contact information. Soon, a Taobao online store selling women's clothing for middle-aged and elderly people called her, offering 500 yuan for one day of shooting. The store owner thought her shots were effective and her attitude was serious and responsible, so he recommended her to his peers. In one month, she became popular among local online stores, not only gaining a batch of fixed customers but also increasing her daily pay to 600 yuan.
An online store owner with four years of online sales experience said that consumers initially shopped online to find cheap goods and novel items, but now they began to focus on the quality of goods and hoped to learn more information, making Wang Jingyi's work indispensable, "we plan to hire her as a full-time photographer with a monthly salary of 12,000 yuan."
