At the initial stage, ask yourself questions: What do you want to get out of the photographer’s work, what will make you an outstanding professional and what will make you different from other professionals.
Create a template for a photography contract. Most often, novice professionals neglect the paperwork, based only on a verbal agreement with the client. Hence there are problems and misunderstandings after the work is done. Successful photographers always draw up contracts, prescribing the rights and obligations of each party.
Improve your photographic equipment. At the beginning you can rent expensive cameras to understand what kind of camera is better for your purposes.
Engage in promotion. To become recognizable photographer, you need to create your own website or pages in social networks, posting information about yourself, services and portfolios with your work.
Never stop learning. To maintain your skills, you need to constantly evolve: get up-to-date information on online courses, take internships from renowned photographers and consult with mentors.
If you think that becoming a popular and in-demand photographer will help the most expensive camera, then you’re wrong. Beginner photographers should not buy expensive equipment: it is better to get a handle on an inexpensive camera.
