I am looking to make a little extra money during college by doing portraits. I have a D-80, 18-135 3.5-5.6 Nikon lens, 25-80 3.3-5.6 Nikon lens, 70- 210 quanta ray lens, and a 50 1.8 Nikon lens. I also have a Nikon n-55 film camera as a backup, and a tri-pod. I know little about lighting so that is where i am going to start looking at. I know about aperture and shutter speed, and i bought a book on portrait photography. My questions are :
1. What is the normal sitting charge? I was thinking 50$-60$
2. Do you sell them the images with your copyright still on them or do you make them buy prints?
3. What other equipment would you suggest? This is going to be family portraits on site, and maybe some individual of the family members.
4. How to advertise something like this?
I am not starting tommorw by all means, but i wanna get the idea of how much i am going to have to invest to do this. I also am starting to build a portfolio, but if i only have 1 -2 families in the portfoilo to start with would that be ok?
Thanks!
