Photography Question

how to start


I have been taking pictures for a few years now, mostly black and white. I use a Minolta QTsi, presently. I have had so many people wnat me to start my own studio. I guess my question is how to I go about this? Which camera , lights, and other equipment do I need. I just got back from my first wedding shoot and can't wait to see! Any help is greatly appreciated!

  Thanks so much! I did not think I was going to get a response! I love taking B & W photos and it would be even better to make some money!

  You can use color film and have it
printed in black and white. Or you
can have the color roll scanned and
you can choose the tone of the black
and white. Don't think you need to
shoot with high grain black and white
film. Studio lighting can be tricky
at first. . .practice with some rented
strobes and back drop first.
