If you never
leave home without your camera and have developed the skills necessary to
creatively capture special moments, consider starting a photography business.
"Entrepreneur," a magazine and online resource, cites that a startup
photography business can cost from $2,000 to $10,000. Save money by designating
an area of your home as a photography studio until you can afford to lease
space. Equip it with a computer with photo editing software, cameras, lighting
and props.
Family
Photography
From a
baby's first birthday to holiday family portraits, families seek the services
of skilled photographers to help them capture special moments in their lives.
Offer photography services at your studio, on-location at parks or family
events and at your clients' homes. Ensure that you have props on set to get
baby smiling and keep kids interested and happy during the photography session.
Market this business to new parents and grandparents.
Pet
Photography
Pets are an
important part of many peoples families; from young newlyweds to mature adults,
their pets have a special place in their hearts. Help pet owners preserve
memories of their fury friends by offering pet photography services. Take
pictures of their pets in their homes to get warm, intimate photographs, but
also take pictures at local parks to capture pets outdoors at play. Work with
local pet supply stores, pet boutiques, pet bakeries, groomers and and
veterinarian offices for a cross-promotion opportunity to market your pet
photography services.
Wedding
Photography
An important
aspect of any wedding is the photography. Brides-to-be and their grooms-to-be
search tirelessly for photographers who are skilled to provide services for
their special days. From engagement photographs and photography during
rehearsal dinners to pictures of wedding day preparations and the actual event,
wedding photographers can cover a wide range of events leading up to a couple's
nuptials. Attend bridal shows to promote your services. Focus on creating an
online and offline portfolio that covers a variety of shots and different types
of weddings.
Boudoir And
Glamour Photography
Make your
clients feel like sultry superstars by offering boudoir and glamour shots.
While these shots are a bit more risque than family or pet photography, they
give you an opportunity to create fantasy for your client. Advertise boudoir
and glamour photography to brides-to-be, Valentine's Day gifts, pregnant women
and anyone looking to step up their glam-appeal. Provide wardrobe, such as
bustiers, girdles, silky slips and robes, for your clients to get dressed in
for their photographs. Film in your studio, or create an intimate setting in
your clients' homes to give them the comfort and privacy they need for these
sessions.
Commercial
Photography
If you get
excited by glossy magazine covers and designs, lend your creative skills to a
commercial photography business. Working with advertising agents to help their
clients brands shine in print and online, you will photograph products shots
and shots to bring the services companies provide to life. Create a portfolio
that reflects your experience in advertising or commercial photography, then
approach design firms, advertising agencies and businesses directly to offer
your services.
