What's it like to be a professional Photographer? Are you curious about becoming a professional photographer? There are many questions that have to be answered so as to be best prepared. Questions like what are the steps I'd need to take to become a professional? What photographic equipment do I actually need to become a photographer? What makes one photographer better than another? What should a professional photography portfolio consist of?
I have a number of friends in this industry and who over the last few years have become front runners in their field. Through sheer persistance and hard work, they can now reap the benefits and love working in this industry, earning a very big salary working the unfixed hours that they need. This is the fantasy of the great majority of us, to be able to capure moments that mean something to us in the most provoking manner.
My first suggestion to you is that you jump on the Internet and search Google for articles on professional photographers and understand how the industry works. I will assure you that the first couple of years will be a hard slog and may not harvest much reward. For every successful photographer there is, there are nine others that don't make the grade. It is a very competitive field and only the best survive.
Do the research into all the higher end cameras. Make sure you find out which you're most comfortable with and you're feeling you can get the best shots out of. The cameras nowadays help you considerably and can regularly hide the weaknesses that you'll have as a photographer. So while the more expensive cameras could be a big upfront investment, they are going to help you out in the long term and provide the best shots.
Make sure you take a look at the latest photography magazines to keep up with the trends and where things are headed. If you do all this, you will already be ahead of the majority of any budding professional photographers.
