Weekly Photo Tip - Making Extra "Mula"
When I first had the desire to dive into photography, I knew that I could not just go book some shoots and immediately start getting paid. Homework needed to be done, but more importantly, I needed some sort of portfolio, decent equipment and some business cards. The best way to gain a portfolio (according to me) and start earning extra "mula" is to let your friends and family members know what you are doing, and offer to take free pictures of them, their pets, their whatever so you can build your portfolio. Have them sign a "Model" Release contract stating that you have the rights to do with the photos as you please (print and web media). Also make sure that you give each "Model" a CD with the finished work. This process will get you comfortable with booking a job, completing it and repeating. Everyone needs a photographer, speak up if you even remotely think you might be needed. Once you are comfortable with the process, make a name for your business, do word of mouth marketing through (facebook, business cards, blog etc.)
