How do I start my Photgoraphy buisness before I turn 18?

This thread is a perfect example why hallucinogenic drugs should never be made legal. :lmao:

Albert Hoffman's birthday was exactly a month ago on 1/11/11. He died in 2008 at the age of 102.

Oh, for those that don't know Mr. Hofmann was the first person to synthesize Lysergic Acid Diethlyamide, ingest it and learn of its psychedelic effects (LSD).

I probably should just shut up, but they do call me Stoogley
And I know I'm going to smacked around for this and told to lighten up...but anyway

I'm going to assume that the OP was legit...self-admittedly a young-mid teen wanting some knowledge and guidance.

Uh, she's a teenager...of course she's going to be naive. of course she's going to be jumping ahead of herself. of course she's going to be argumentative. All to be expected and appropriate for her.

I'm sure some of you have kids...maybe even teens or once were teens.

The rest of the posters I would imagine are (mature?) adults, even professionals in some aspect of their lives, if not photography.

Not too sure that ***** slapping her was the way to give her a little guidance and direction and encouragement. And then there was the afterbirth.

Was her dreams and ambition stifled...likely not. Did she learn about dealing with people in the photo community...probably.

Anyway, just some thoughts.

So, bring it on, let me have it.

Oh my... a good read to start your day!

I don't know what would be worse, that the OP was really 12 years old and just doesn't get it. or that the OP was 'pretending' to be 12 years old and trolling, or any combination I guess.

HOW is this still going on????

Subscribing for tips. My dinosaur won't sit still and I don't think I have enough "likes" on my Facebook.

Anyone can be a professional.
All it takes is for someone to pay for your pictures.
Photographic skill and equipment is secondary.

Back in my teens I had a newspaper paying me to take photos. I had a Canon T-70, Astro 35-70mm and Astro 75-200mm (Astro camera store branded lenses) ... my first SLR. I shot everything in Auto ... and yes the images sucked but they bought them because they didn't need anything more than that (or pay for a better photographer).

Start with asking family and friends if you could take their pictures and like everyone is saying, build a portfolio. You seriously can't just "Go into business" it doesn't work that way!! Once you have a good handle on what you're doing you can start charging people like $35 bucks for a shoot and stuff, but no where near starting an actual business! There is a TON of money and paperwork and legal stuff to owning your own business that you wouldn't be able to do considering you aren't even "Of driving age yet."
