How to start as a Photography Newbie after finding the Best Photography Schools in Lagos

It is always good to start small. even the Bible says it. Do not despise the days of little beginnings. As a professional photographer training to succeed in the art and craft of Photography, do not resist starting small and then rise to the top. You really have to ensure your pricing is affordable while at the same time reasonable. It however should not be below industry standards. As a fellow photographer would say: Never be idle. Build your portfolio. The more your portfolio, the bigger you become in theory and the better you become in practice.

Your confidence level is bound to increase when you have a bigger portfolio. The guts to showcase your works to fellow photographers and even top organisations increases. The methods of getting jobs in this industry is solely through referrals. One new job is often a recursive effect of a previous one which was well executed.

WHEN YOUR DECISION IS MADE.

As soon as you have totally made up your mind, it is then that you begin to earn based on the kind of photography jobs that you get. That singular decision to convert your hobby to a profession and from an amateur to a pro is something worth the while and is a continuous journey. Take your time, experiment, shoot a lot, take breaks, examine your inner self and rediscover new ways of doing things. You need to do all these before you can begin to say you want to set out as an Photographer entrepreneur.However sincere as this may sound, there is a need to remind you of the factors important for your entrepreneurial drive. You would need to handle all aspects of the factors of production as we were taught in our early years at school.
1. Land This means Location, preferrably an Office space. You could even get a shared work space
2. Labour( Staff who would work for you or assist you. One may be sufficient for you even when you have a lot of money.)
3. Capital(Equipments of trade. )
4. Entrepreneur (Management — How you manage the photography business)

WHAT TYPE OF CAMERA EQUIPMENT TO BUY FOR PHOTOGRAPHY TRAINING

WE ARE THE BEST PHOTOGRAPHY SCHOOL IN LAGOS NIGERIA

At this juncture I would be sincere with you, that no matter how much or little you have to purchase a photography equipment, it is always advisable to buy an equipment that will serve you a long time. Based on Moore’s law, every equipment out there is certain to be replaced every eighteen months. This has even changed these days, most technology equipments are now being replaced with better, faster, less sized ones in less than eighteen months.

So here is my 2 cents:

Do not rush to buy a camera or photography equipment. Ask around from fellow pro photographers online or in your domain or call us to ask on 08026639718, what camera is the latest and how the one you intend getting compares to it. Because in truth, there is no point going for a photography equipment which would soon become obsolete in like 6 months or 1 year.
In conclusion, the photography profession is a noble one and requires great determination and focus. It does have its inherent challenges and as a matter of fact, purchasing your equipment is a challenge of its own. You need to be absolutely certain of what you want from the word go. Always make it a habit to save enough just in case your equipment breaks down.

Pay your dues, strive hard and be determined.

13 Reasons Why Photography Is A Great Career Choice in Nigeria - Tonydoo Visuals Photography School

There are a number of reasons that make photography a great career choice. I’ve put together 11 of the ones I like most, even though many more could’ve been added.

Capture A Memory That Will Last Forever
A photo can capture a moment, and it’ll last forever. You’re the one that captures that moment! I think a lot of people take this idea for granted being that photography is so accessible these days.

Almost Every Photographer Finds Their True Path
You don’t have to decide immediately what type of photographer you are, take your time. While you may like shooting landscapes, you may be more interested in wedding, boudoir, commercial or even portrait photography. You get to decide what segment of photography fits you best.

Clients Will Buy Into Your Vision
Your clients will be more than happy to let you express your individuality. The reason why they chose you over your competition is because they share your sense of style and vision. Don’t change who you are and be true to yourself. Which leads me to my next point.
Create Your Portfolio
This is where you get to show off who you are and what your style is. Don’t rush and do a half-ass job. Create a portfolio that stands out from the rest, while keeping true to your style and who you are. You’re in control of how others perceive your artistry.
You Get To Tell A Story
A photographer gets to tell a story through images. Those images are the documentation of important moments in someones life, or an adventure you’ve been on. It’s with these images people get to relive the moments that truly matter.


 Photography Will Take You Places
Whether you are a destination photographer or a landscape photographer, photography will take you places you’ve never been to. This brings business trips to a whole new level. Instead of corporate meetings, you’ll be photographing moments.

You Work When You Want
You are your own boss!  Want to take some time off? Need to spend more time with the family?Sure, go ahead. Who’s going to tell you otherwise? How awesome is that? You’re in complete control of your time.
You Get To Keep Learning
Like any industry, photography is always evolving. There’s always new gear coming out, new lighting techniques to learn, more editing tricks for you to learn – this can go on and on. Learning something new keeps you interested in what you’re doing. You’re not staying in one place.
 You Get To Go To Photography Conferences
Unlike corporate conferences, photography conferences are a lot of fun! No matter where you are in the world, you’ll be able to find one that interests you the most. What’s great about photography conferences is that not only do you get to learn from your peers, but you get to network with other photographers as well. You never know when you’ll need someone to cover for you, or when they’ll need someone covering for them.
Every Day Is Different
No two days are alike in photography. One day you’ll be out drinking champagne with the bride and groom and the next day you’ll be editing. Even if you have two weddings in one weekend, those two events won’t be the same. You get to be at different places, see different faces and experience something different each and every time.

Money
I put this last because while it’s not the reason photographers get into photography, no one wants to starve. While some photographers may not agree, most others will tell you there’s good money to be made in this industry. You get to set the price and handle all your bookings.

What are you waiting for? The time is now to pick up that camera and make some money! Being a photographer is awesome. Register for our upcoming Photography Training this April HERE>>>

A picture of Aliko Dangote, Bill Gates, Nigeria’s Vice President – Yemi Osinbajo and some of Nigeria’s top political, business and government dignitaries on the same table has recently surfaced online and is causing a stir on the online space in Lagos, Nigeria.

Remember Alhaji Aliko Dangote’s daughter got married on Saturday march 24, 2018 at Eko Hotel and Suites in Victoria Island, Lagos? The wedding between Dangote’s daughter Hajiya Fatima Dangote and Jamil Abubakar went on to become arguably Africa’s richest and most-talked about Wedding in History. The wedding had in attendance, several prominent persons including the wife of the President of Nigeria – Hajiya Aisha Buhari, Speaker of the House of Representatives: Mr. Yakubu Dogara, the Emir of Kano, Alhaji Muhammadu Sanusi and our own popular Nairalander Photographer - Mr. Tonydoo. The wedding was hashtagged #Famil2018 So you can easily search with the hashtag on Instagram and twitter to join the conversation and see more pictures from the very lavish wedding party held in Lagos, Nigeria.

The humble photographer was seen sitting at the unshakeable table worth over a 100 Billion Dollars, with Bill Gates and Aliko Dangote accounting for over 90% of this wealth. Bill Gates is currently worth about 90.5 Billion US Dollars while Africa’s richest man is worth over 13 Billion US Dollars.



Although, popular Nigerian Wedding Photographer – Mr. Tonydoo (http://www.instagram.com/tonydoo_visuals) wasn’t on duty that very night, covering the wedding event, however, his senior counterparts such as the personal photographer to the Vice President of Nigeria: Novo Isioro and HBPixels did a fantastic job of caturing the Nairalander with Bill Gates at different times and with Vice President – Yemi Osinbajo.
The Popular Wedding Photographer – Tonydoo Visuals was also seen at the #UnshakeableBillionairesTable having a swell time, rubbing shoulders with Africa’s richest man – Aliko Dangote.

The photographer has come out to thank his colleagues specially for capturing a moment like this and stating categorically that he appreciates them for creating an indelible memory of him with the world’s richest Bill Gates and World’s richest black man.
