Photography Business Help?
Hello All!
I am going to open a Photography Business. I am going to focus on portraits right now. There are some things that I do not know and would like some professional advice or opinions.
First i am going to start with a Nikon D90. Is there a better Camera for the price? Also, what would be a great back up camera for less?
2nd, what is the best Photo Management Software. I have seen a ton, but would like some opinoins from users.
Last, Is it best to do my own printing. If so, what kind of printers are out there.
If not best to do own printing, who does the printing?
Thank you, and please feel free to add anything you wish to add as far as tips or advice.
I was not talking about Photo Editing Software, but thank you for the info. . . I mean a photo business management software. The software will let me organize every aspect of the business, like appointments, customers, etc. . Thank you very much for advice. .
