Just starting out with my Photography Buisness!

~Ty170 Jan 1, 2013

Hi fellow Deviants, as my first step into the official world of photography I've created a Facebook page and i'm trying to gain support and get likes on the page to help promote my work, I'd love for you guys to check it out and "like" it, it would help so much. Any comments or feedback would be great to. Thanks so much everyone. (:

Go read Gary Phong's book. It is VERY helpful for a photographer just getting started: [link]

You need to know your target audience and cater to them. Your target audience are your potential clients - I'm not saying do it for free, but offer deals over holidays. Let everyone you know that you do photography, get business cards too. I never generated any interest online but as soon as I told people face to face, they instantly were interested in what I had to offer. Word of mouth is your best friend but if you're not careful it can be your undoing. If you've never worked retail I suggest you do for at least six months to a year so you're use to crazy people wanting all sorts of weird requests because it will happen.

What exactly are you promoting yourself as? Putting "As my first step into the world of Photography" says to me beginner, and go the other way... you have to sell yourself!

If you're serious about this, it's a good idea to start a blog, post tutorials, perhaps write a book. It seems like most of the modern photographers I know about, spread the word that way.

If you can afford to, and are willing to take the risk, you might consider giving away some of your images for use in memes and such. It's a business decision how you license the images, but it's something to consider.

This would probably be better in your Journal.
