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 am trying to turn this hobby into a bossiness and I wondering what can I do with a canon T7 and an 18-55 kit lens. I know wedding photography might be out as an option just cause I need some high quality gear for it. but what else can be done to get started and gain some professional experience ?

Thanks!

Wedding photography isn't about high quality gear, it's about delivering the results. That can include image quality - but most cameras are good enough -however it's mostly about reliability, particularly with memory card storage. Most pro gear has multiple card slots to ensure that the images aren't lost if one card fails. Because as a pro, you need to deliver the goods. Photographers have been forced to pay for re-shoots, including venue hire, because they cannot just say sorry and give the clients a refund.
