I need some help on how to become a portrait photographer?


I love taking pictures.... I already have the camera, tripod, a soft box, and a studio umbrella. but not sure how to start on a small room in my house. I know I need more stuff but how can I start with the little bit of stuff that I alredy have? Thank you!

The closest I get to portraiture is glamour photography and I break all the rules that PPA seems to live by, so I am not a member, but my wedding and portrait buds tell me this is a very helpful organization

Start with family and friends. Take good pictures, more than needed to get the best. Have a portfolio and ask for referrals from every family and friend you have. It will surprise you how fast your business grows just by word of mouth.

Another good way to get started is Senior Pictures (try Junior RIGHT NOW FOR SUMMER SHOTS). Offer a discount to seniors - advertise in their school news or other local paper. Again, offer a discount and take good pictures and a variety of posses. Use your creativity - if you're good, your business will grow.

Good luck in your quest.
