What is required for freelance photography


What is required for freelance photography?
I am thinking about taking some classes as a photography schoo, but it isn't a college. Is that ok? Also, is it hard to find jobs as a freelance? Where do I go for someone to buy them?

Firstly, you need a camera. Then, you need someone to pay you to take pictures.

That's a tough gig. Once you've completed your course. Look for local wedding photographers and try to get in as an assistant. It's just about knowing what you're doing and networking with professionals. Good luck

If you are serious keep your camera with you at all times... I keep mine in my knapsack that I carry everywhere I go. As a freelancer I have done a lot of aerials (they pay great, around $3-500 per shot. Brochures, catalogs, portfolios, intimates, babies and kids.... sold stock for advertising and stock for postcards. That's just some of what I did. It would be nice if you have someone else take care of the $ and you concentrate on the images. A well rounded photographer can make more than a Dr. or Lawyer and have more leisure time doing it. You do have to work, but you get paid well... Believe that you can do it and keep taking photos and work to learn all you can about the business... search on-line tutorials and books, especially "Photographer's Market 2007". Just to start. Don't be discouraged... use the best system (Canon) and stick with it for every lens you purchase. Learn PhotoShop! This is the most important thing secondary to the camera. You need to edit, file, cut CD or DVD...You will need it immediately... .
