Biancalis: How do I start my photography business?
I have upgraded to a DSLR camera and have taken some great photos. I have posted some of sunsets, flowers, birds and my kids on my face book and people have noticed and compliment how great my photos are. I am being asked if I am aiming for photography. I would definitely like to start a portfolio. My 4 year old daughter will not cooperate for a photo shoot. I have always wanted to get into photography business but how do I start. Thanks!

Sorry, but this reminds me too much of you!
Sorry for being so rude, but this is a classic question…
What is my real answer?
Get some real critiques from real photographers, and take some classes. If you can, could you post some example photos online for us?
Answer by AlluringdeceitI would say that you’re an amateur and shouldn’t be attempting to dive into a business you know nothing about.
Go get a degree in Photography, and then get a degree is Business.
Get more experience under your belt.
Taking pictures of sunsets, birds, and flowers does not make you a photographer.
In order to have any credibility or stability in the market, you must have a portfolio and you must have REAL studio experience.
I honestly think you’re over qualifying yourself.
