How to start a photography business / career? |
i have a 7 month and i'm wanting to get started finally.... opinions, tips? anything, please help!!!! If you know anyone who has a current Mac computer, you can use IWeb to create a website showing your recent photographs. Set up an .mac account [$99 per year] and publish your IWeb webpage(s). Acquire from Vistaprint.com a colorful business card by selecting from their many templates a suitable one that meets your needs. Make sure to list the URL of your website along with a telephone answering device. Do not place your home address or anything personal such as a cellphone on this businesscard. Then when you receive the finished business card, pass it around to various churches, temples and the like to solicit business. When you receive a major photography assignment, visit your local professional camera store and "rent" the necessary camera equipment to fulfill this assignment. Instead of renting a studio, take people pictures at local parks and beaches and for indoor shots, go to the client's residence or office to set up a photo shooting environment which consists of a set of lights, reflective screens, background drapery, etc. Good luck! Pretty tough to do without a good portfolio, a reputation in the business and word of mouth from customers you have worked for. Sure, anyone can open up a studio. But without those things you are going to have a hard time doing work. Best thing for you to do is go get a job with a successful photographer with a good reputation, learn the business, build a portfolio and client list and then in a few years go out on your own.
