Free Digital Photography Backdrops

1

I want to run a small photography studio out of my home. Any suggestions on how to get started?

I have a digital camera and Photoshop. Nothing fancy really. But it's enough to take pictures and send them off to be developed on matte so the end result would be very professional. I also have a numerous set of backdrops my grandpa (who was a hobby photographer passed down to me) I've done pics for friends, of new babies and pregnant woman, and most I did for free. But for the ppl I didn't know too well I charged $20 a person per sitting fee and then the flat rate cost of what they charged me to develop the pics. Is this a good rate? too high, too low? What do you suggest? Any ideas on how to get started? Thanks

One thing I'll recommend is getting a solid education in running a small business; such a course of study can be found at your local community college. That kind of foundation will help your business.

There is more to hanging up a sign and saying, "Here I am for your photography needs." You'll need to worry about a whole host of additional details, such as licensing, taxes, insurance, depreciation, etc., to name a few.

I'd say your $20 per person per sitting fee is WAY too low, because you're shortchanging yourself and wouldn't be able to cover your overhead. By and large, you're giving away your services; how much is your time worth?

Here's where you'll need to pay attention to the details, because that's where you can be tripped up. Therefore, consult both an attorney and an accountant to cover all your bases. While it may cost you money now, imagine how expensive it'd be if you didn't.
