I am sure that this question has been asked a lot on this part of the forum, so please forgive me!
I was just wondering how people have got their career started? What are some of the first things you have to get set in place.
I am taking the plunge this year and making 2009 all about achieving my dream of being a photographer. I am handing in my notice this month to give me all the time in the world and all the freedom in the world to give this my best shot - excuse the pun
I am getting quite scared now though! And would just like to know what in people's opinions some of the first steps are, also if anyone has any ideas on what I should be charging for say commercial work - like photographing cars/hotels etc?
And also my last question I promise! - well on this thread anyway! is how many pictures in your opinion should be in a portfolio. I have done such varied work from portraiture - weddings - stock - landscapes etc i have plenty to choose from but don't want to put 100 images in for people to get bored looking through, but not quite sure what an "ideal" number would be.
Any help would be appreciated
