Infant Photography
How do I take my photography to a proffesional level?
I have been into photography for quite a few years but never pursued it further than for fun. I have people tell me all the time I should do it for a living. I am just wondering what kind of ways I can earn money with my photos? I am teaching right now but will be taking maternity leave in a about a month. One of my main loves is infant and newborn photography and I will be doing alot of that once my baby is born so I am hoping to build a pretty decient portfolio. I am looking into all my options for after the baby is born and I seeing if there is anyway to make some cash doing what I love so I can stay at home permanately.
Don't listen to the lady talking about borders and crap in you portfolio! There is no reason for this. Prospective employers or buys are not interested in fancy crap around the pictures. They are interested in you photos. Don't distract them!
A portfolio should consist of 10-12 singles. One photo essay and one photo story-each consisting of 6-10 photos. PDF slideshows of them against a black background on a CD in the newest and most popular way of spreading your work around. However a hardcopy version in a portfolio with each photo matted plainly. Let your photos speak for themselves. Don't make a scarpbook looking piece of crap, that is the most annoying theing you could do in this industry. Be professional looking if you want to be taken seriously.
