- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
How many photographers are there in your area? I only ask this because when you start a business you set yourself up as competition for the other photographers in the area (you take business away from them). After looking at all your links I would say that you are not ready to enter this business. Go get more training, attend school and/or take a job with an established studio. Customers may not know the difference but I do and it hurts when someone with a great sales pitch gives my former customers a far inferior product. I'm really trying not to sound like a jerk here because it sounds like you have a passion for this work, but you're doing a dis-service to the professional community when you jump into the business this early. To be a photographer takes determination, skill and luck. And a lot of hard knocks, including harsh criticism when you don't expect it. If you are going to be a pro someday you will be the type of person who can take it.
Thanks for the input!
This is really just the start as i dont plan on taking any on a big projects yet, just little things to people in the town that know me.
