Just buying a good camera will not make you a photographer!.

You will need some schooling in photography, work for a pro as an assistant for a few years to hone your skills and learn the business and then:

Write a business and marketing plan as well as a projected P&L worksheet out to at least two years!. You will have to include your capitalization of the business (figure $50,000 for lights, cameras, lenses, computer/software package and office furniture) plus fixed and variable costs!. Don't forget including your retirement program, insurance (liability, health and auto) and other incidental costs usually associated with an employer that now have to be supplied by you!.

If you live in the States, SCORE can help your free of charge!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There really is no supernatural being in control of your destiny!. You will determine your future with your decision making ability!. Before choosing a career path you need to determine your ability to perform the craft!. You should be adept at business or photography and have reasonable expectations of learning the other!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
