Are you
good at taking pictures? Have you thought about earning extra cash
from photography? With the huge advances in picture taking and
editing technology, virtually anyone can take a great picture these
days. The costs of cameras and other equipments have also dropped
making most high quality cameras affordable.
Before
you start, decide
on the type of photography you want to specialise in
for example wedding, portrait, glamour, travel,
documentary etc.
This will inform the choice of camera and other equipment you will
need to buy. Whilst wedding photography is the most popular, it is
seasonal and you have to be highly skilled. So I would advise
starting
with some other less tasking form of photography depending on your
individual skill and preference, until you become more experienced.
As
with everything in life, practise makes perfect! So take as many
pictures as you can. Test you skills on different subjects. If you do
decide to become a wedding photographer, test you skills first
on family and friends - perhaps start with being the supporting photographer at a friend's wedding. As you become more skilled do consider
entering photography competitions and taking courses to improve
the quality of your pictures.
Decide how
much you can charge
for your
services by finding out what other similar photographers in your area
charge.
Always keep a record of your costs
and revenue
to enable you determine the tax payable to the government.
