Have you ever wondered how you could make some money with your photography? Some budding photographers buy a new camera and expect the jobs to come rolling in... But National Geographic hasn't called yet... so here are some simple ways to pay the water bill with your newly found love of photography. (There are countless blogs out there that promise you fame and riches with the snap of a shutter. We are not one of them.) BUT, in this blog we will walk you through some realistic, simple ideas as to how to turn your hobby in to some extra spending money.
1- PORTRAITS (home studio): This may seem expensive and overwhelming. Don't fret. There are some really attainable ways to create a home studio these days. The best way to start taking portraits and transform any room in to a home studio is a background support system A background support system is the basis of any home studio. I say that because if you are on a really tight budget, you can always take this outside, and use the sunlight to light your subject. A backgound support system with a muslin backdrop is the only thing the picture will reveal. You can get a support system with the essentail backdrops for right around $100 bucks. This is the best way to transform any photo in to a professional portrait. http://www.skaeser.com/servlet/Categories?category=BACKGROUND+SUPPORT+SYSTEMS:KITS
2- PRODUCT: If you want to make a few dollars, and have some extra stuff lying around, a picture is worth a thousand bucks... maybe. A great way to photograph product is using a product photo tent. These work wonderfully for small to medium objects and are really easy to use. The tent itself works as a diffuser- softening the light, and getting rid of any harsh shadows. The best part of about these is you don't need a fancy camera. Any point and shoot camera wil get the job done! We sell complete product tent kits with light stands and daylight balanced fluorescent bulbs for right around $100 too.
