You can start doing photography completely on-location. You really don't have to have a studio these days to get a successful business going. <BR/><BR/>I can't tell you how many people I've met on pro photog forums that are moms that started their businesses in their basements. You can learn a ton (about the technical side of it)from other photographers online. There is a wealth of information out there. I would also suggest taking a photography class. Just to learn a little more. <BR/><BR/>But your composition is great! I would suggest purchasing photoshop if you haven't already. You'll need it! Hope this helps. Call or email me and we can talk more about it. I don't claim to know everything about photography, in fact, far from, but I do know just how you feel. I also know what you need to do to get started!<BR/>KeliKelihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10903695554852724776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8987305.post-22375424907565538082008-06-13T04:43:00.000-06:002008-06-13T04:43:00.000-06:00I almost followed the same path as you. Left a job...I almost followed the same path as you. Left a job they were laying people off at. Worked - for 2 weeks - at a portrait studio, and all the while studied photography on my own. <BR/><BR/>I have my own part time/side job/semi-pro photography business. I've learned a ton and not one class. I think you know enough already, the problem is the business side and not the art side. <BR/><BR/>In my experience, you don't need a studio yet. Photography is really 2 areas, studio and outdoor. You can shoot exclusively in one if you want. <BR/><BR/>Since you are female, you can get a lot of help as a minority business owner through the government. Local universities usually have a business school that can help you setup a business model as a class project. For free.<BR/><BR/>As far as the photography goes, learning your camera doesn't take much. Below are some links to YouTube videos and sites that I think are useful and MUCH more informative than any class I took.<BR/><BR/>Also, join the local photography club and make some contacts. <BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/user/prophotolife<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/user/snapfactory<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6lsRu90jE88&feature=related<BR/><BR/>(There are 8 or 9 EXCELLENT parts to this )<BR/><BR/>http://www.photosig.com<BR/><BR/>We can have a more lengthy discussion later.<BR/><BR/>KnotAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
