A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I have been photographing for quite some time now, shooting Film and digital but now i would love to make some money doing that, not just spending it... But now my question as i have no idea on how to start, i dont know where to begin, how did you do it or would someone advise on how to do it?

Having a website being registered with your country tax and business registration, be on google my business then online marketing having a proper booking form, cancel/refund policy, managing booking and clients, building connection locally with school kindergarten music association or any local association. Also being very specialised is in my opinion a must but other might have different view about this... consider not making any money for the first few years being a reality also you will be competing against many others like yourself and sometime against the big production and studio, your pricing will dictate the quality of your client don't be cheap even you are not booking anyone this will only bring the kind of client you don't want to deal with .... think also of your potential client and why they would spend money on a photography session or photo, you have to be able to sell yourself in a extremely subtle way ...
