How to Start a New Photography Busniess I have taken an at home photography course. I feel I am progressing very well. I already have several weddings, reunions, seniors, baby, and family portraits under my belt. I want to break away from the man and work for myself and I really don't know what I need to get started in a new business. Could you please give me suggestions on how to get rolling?

Before you take off on your own, learn all you can. Do you really know all he/she can teach you about lighting? about dealing with wedding parties? (I'll never again try to shoot a large wedding without a drill sergeant lady as an assistant to herd these people around.) Working for someone else may give you health insurance, stability and other benefits. Don't burn this bridge.

Do you have any business experience? Knowing photography is only half (or even less) the battle. Whatever else it is, a photography business is a business. Even the best photographer won't stay in business very long if he/she doesn't understand how to run a business.
