Question I am amateur photographer and I am trying to start a small business taking photographs at either schools, parties, etc. Is there a list of items that you can give me of equipment I will need to get started, what kind of cameras with lights that flash when you snap a picture I will need to buy, etc. Thank you so much for your time. Rosie
Answer Rosie,
There's a huge difference between school group shots and parties. With parties, all you need is an on-camera flash..preferably the same brand as your camera. School (class shots) need a very high powered and relatively expensive set-up. This is not my area of expertise, so I would not want to give you ill advice or prices.
The class photo business is very difficult and long hours but can be very profitable. I like shooting parties (corporate or private). The pay is good, hours not bad and corporations don't bitch too much. It's very pleasant having a cocktail in one hand and the camera in the other!!
