i just started my new photo business and i have a wedding to shoot of a senior malibu couple. they are having their 9 yo dalmation as the ring bearer.
i have a 18-55 kit lens to shoot with will i need a flash, the camer comes with one? also there is this exposure compilation button, is that for taking multiple pictires for haychdee arre' pictures? i think that's french for something, not sure?
ok, jk.
on to the serious:
based on the checklist from the "noobs guide" http://www.thephotoforum.com/forum/...ness.html?highlight=staering+a+photo+business
i know what preliminary legal and organizational steps required to enter the game.
questions:
should i file, dba, insurance, etc and continue to acquire equip and make available for sale worthy images while i become proficient to take on professional gigs?
so i can write off equipment, education, and travel expenses?
can expenses incurred prior to filing date be written off post-filing?
location- calif. exp- photo classes(film), b/w film printing, understand exposure and what each of the three control in an image,RoT, DoF.....
need to work on: WB-usually use auto or presets on cam, but would like to become better with dialing temps for certain lighting, lens/uses, shooting people.
thanks in advance.
going out to dinner for my bday, may not reply right away, but will most certainly be back for responses and advice. flame suit will be on.
