You also need to understand the various light patterns and ratios that go with them!. Although you will probably not always need formal portraiture, if you are billing yourself as a portrait photographer, this should be the basis of your abilities!. Make your own backdrops and get props from garage sales!. PVC pipe can make a pole system with light stands!.Www@QuestionHome@Com OMG! awesome i am an aspiring photographer but i want to be qualified in all categories like landscapes, people, weddings!.!.!.etc!. i want to travel first and build my portfolio and then come back to the states and see who will hire me and if noone i will sell my art!. my biggest dream is to have one of my photographs in the national geographic! *sigh!.!.!.anyway sorry i cannot answer your question, lol!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Can anyone give me a list of things to invest in!.!.!.!. >A good education, something of which takes time, practice, and real skills!. No piece of equipment will make YOU a better photographer!. Only practice and a deep understanding of photography will!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Unfortunately, I am not able to answer your first question, but perhaps you could go to a photo studio in the mall (sears etc!.) and take a peak at their equipment!. A tip to get started would be to advertise your skills in the local paper!. Since it would not be a professional studio right away, you could not charge standard prices like a professional photographer, but it'd be a start to get the word around!. You could also work and while making money at your job, you could do photography on the side to better your income a bit!. Once the word is out how good you are you could pay off your current debt and once that is paid off, you could apply for what's called a "small business loan"!. Starting your own business not only requires money and talent, but also a lot of luck!. I wish you the best!.Www@QuestionHome@Com |
