Q. I would like to start a small photography business...nothing major as I am an amateur photographer and am not sure of myself/skills yet.

Asked by yorkiepoo - Tue Apr 24 13:14:07 2007 - - 3 Answers - 2 Comments A. You may not like this answer but it is intended to be honest and helpful. Don't start any business, not even a small one, until you are sure of what you are doing. Apart from the risk to your reputation through failing to deliver you may be liable to losses. Don't buy more kit until you are a little closer to knowing what you want to photograph - make the most of what you have by learning to use it to it's best. Equipment can cost a lot, especially when more specialised - much food photography for example needs larger format than 35mm or high end digital to get published and lighting is essential and expensive.

They are almost 100% digital now, (which to *me* is not good, but that is another story). They have many articles on photo techniques and always some Photoshop tutorials and tips. Also, some features on relatively obscure odds and ends items that can be of help with your photography. For instance, I recently ordered a little credit card size card from England that shows the various angles of the sunrise and sunsets for various times of the year. Magazines are great at making you aware of things such as that. Shutterbug is also very good, but may perhaps not have as many features that would be as useful to you in your situation and with your equipment. steve Answered by Steve P - Fri Jun 5 13:13:35 2009 How can i get a career in photography? what careers are there that require a photography degree?
