Make sure that your images are stored safely in a hard drive that meets your needs

Something that I preach to all my students, … “see the light, take the shot”.

I needed to start saving money for a better lens with better glass. The fact was that lenses were expensive… and still are. I also begun to realise that it was all about the lens and the body was secondary. People often get this confused.

There are many products and brands to choose from, all with different purposes and price tags, so make sure you have done your research, had some practical experience working with lighting and asked all the right questions.

Remember big shoots for big brands cost money, and involve much planning and responsibility, so understand what is required and maintain focus in order to be successful.

There are even short courses that provide, not only the reading material and notes, but professional advice and camera gear, providing great opportunities for practical application and camera choice when  you are ready to buy your camera. A great teacher is everything.

Consider that with any skill, training is required which is often costly and takes time, thereafter, you will need to have a budget of equipment and the necessary camera gear to do the job effectively. Finally, there is the marketing, this is actually where you build awareness and a client base for your business.

For the everyday amateur photographer, it is about “having the eye”. It is all about the way you see the subject that you are shooting, the way the light catches it, and of course, your composition and style to make your photograph standout from the norm.
