Start a photography business
Start a photography business: Pick one kind of photo and get known for it: general photographers compete on price. 1) Choose one niche: portraits, weddings, property, products or food. 2) Shoot five free or cheap jobs in that niche to fill a portfolio. 3) Put your 15 best photos on one simple page, with your prices or a starting price.
The steps
- Choose one niche: portraits, weddings, property, products or food.
- Shoot five free or cheap jobs in that niche to fill a portfolio.
- Put your 15 best photos on one simple page, with your prices or a starting price.
- Contact people who regularly need it: estate agents, restaurants or small brands.
- Deliver quickly. A good set in 48 hours beats a perfect one in two weeks.
- Ask each client for a referral and permission to show the work.
