How Do You Turn Hobby Photography Into A Career?
If you spend a lot of time taking pictures, you might consider making a career of it. What can be better than doing something you love and getting paid for it? Follow these suggestions to turn that hobby into a job where you get to be the boss! Start a portfolio. Gather your most impressive prints (or copies of them) and put them in a professional-looking binder. If you don’t have prints to put in your portfolio yet, you soon will. You’re on your way to turning that photography hobby into a great career. Buy fabrics at your local fabric shop or department store. Choose a variety of styles so that your subjects can have a range of options for backgrounds. Look on online auction sites or at local thrift stores for used, working camera equipment. You’ll need a stand to hang your background fabrics. You’ll need a tripod and a professional-quality camera with flash. Digital cameras will work best. Also, don’t forget a lamp that allows you to project the light in the direction of your choice
