What's it like to be a professional Photographer? Are you interested in becoming a professional photographer? There are many questions that must be answered to be best prepared. Questions like what are the steps I would need to take to become a professional? What photographic equipment do I actually need to become a photographer? What makes one photographer better than another? What should a professional photography portfolio consist of?
I've got a number of acquaintances in this industry and who during the last number of years have become leaders in their field. Through sheer persistance and hard work, they can now harvest the benefits and enjoy working in this industry, earning a really big income working the flexible hours that they want. This is the dream of the majority of us, to be able to capure moments that mean something to us in the most impressive manner.
My first idea to you is that you jump online and search Google for articles on professional photographers and know how the industry works. I will guarantee you the first two years will be a tough slog and may not reap much reward. For every successful photographer there is, there are nine others that do not make the grade. It's a highly competitive field and only the best survive.
Do the research into all the higher end cameras. Make sure you find out which you're most comfortable with and you're feeling you can get the best shots out of. The cameras nowadays help you considerably and can regularly hide the weaknesses that you'll have as a photographer. So while the more expensive cameras could be a big upfront investment, they are going to help you out in the long term and provide the best shots.
Make sure you take a look at the latest photography magazines to keep up with the trends and where things are headed. If you do all this, you will already be ahead of the majority of any budding professional photographers.
