Starting a small Photography Business

[CDubs]

******Mods, i am not trying to become a vendor or site sponsor just making my Photography Business known and the word out there, if this still needs to be closed for that rule then please do so by all means.******

Hey guys,

so im finally getting the ball rolling on starting my small business on the side between school and work! It's called C.W. Photography and I do city/landscapes but mostly Automotive photography.

If you can check out my FB page (dont have a website yet) and like it I would appreciate it!

If you live in the New England Area (mostly close to CT) i would be willing to meet up and do a shoot with you and get some rolling shots

Also I have a Flickr Page if you want to add me as a contact or check out some more photos on there

Good luck, are you going to school or anything for photography?

thank you sir! im not going to school for it actually my major right now is business management but my cousin is a professional photography so i get a lot of help from him since he started a small business like i am trying right now, i may take some summer classes if i can fit them in to my schedule but i feel i do better by self learning with feedback from others

 

[XpL0d3r]

I'd be interested in a shoot.. unfortunately I am stuck in western NY, and won't be back to MA for a while most likely... dang

That business management degree should help if you choose to do this as a career. My friend does wedding photography and makes pretty good money. Are you going to do photography as your career?

Can we be honest here? Your auto photography is kinda just run of the mill. However, your beach shots I could picture selling. Photography is a industry where you have to find your style and stick to it. To me, the auto pics looked like they could have come out of a point and shoot.

i appreciate your honesty, i need to practice some more, learn some more stuff on CS5 and/or LightRoom, get more angles right, and so on. The reason the look like point and shoot is because I just got my Nikon D5100 and only using a 18-55mm lens while i get used to the newer camera and how this one works, even though its similar to my old D100. I have plenty of other lens' to use like a fish eye, 70-300mm, 18-70mm and x-200mm

here is one of my cousin's photos of a bagged B6 Passat

he is teaching me the proper angles and ways to capture a shot like this and how to do editing similar to this but with my own style
