Truth be told:
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.
