Guess you meant to say hyphen! Yes, branding is a good thing but it won’t keep you from insolvency. My intention here is to highlight paramount steps for survival and profit.
“don’t forget the hiven, most people do”
Guess you missed a part about branding your business???
Minimal starter equipment (not intended for weddings): basic SLR with over 6mp. Kit lens (usually 18-55 or 18-70). External Flash (if you use built in flash, go home.)
Minimal+ 28mm f2.8 (used, $150?), 50mm f1.8 ($100 new), light stands, extra external flash, ‘shoot thru’ umbrella, flash bracket to hold flash onto stand.
General tip: ALWAYS buy good lens, they hold value. $5,000 bodies in 2000, are worth -300.00 today. 17-35mm f2.8 in 2000, +1500. Today, sells for similar price used.
canon eos 1000d for beginners but it is too basic than get 400d
start with Canon EOS 400D
Thanks for the video, good point on the basic equipment, but what level is good to start at? Nikon d60, ect??
Awsome!!
This is great, thanks!
This is a great video tip. I would also highly recommend “Photographers Market – Guide to Building Your Photography Buisness by Vik Orenstein. It’s a great step by step guide.
I don’t sell these or anything of the sort – I’m just recommending them along with this video
GOOD LUCK!
