{"product_id":"second-shooter-photographer-bookkeeping","title":"Second Shooter Photographer Bookkeeping Spreadsheet","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis bookkeeping spreadsheet is made for a photography business that mixes second shooting for others with bookings of its own. It is for photographers working in wedding photography and events who want to see which kind of work actually pays, once albums, galleries and kit are counted.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease read:\u003c\/strong\u003e This is a tracker tool only, not financial, tax, legal, medical or any other professional advice or advisory service. It records and calculates what you enter; you are solely responsible for checking all figures, rates, dates and results and for every decision you make.
