If you are going to pay for your photoshoot and expecting amazing results from your Photoshoot you have to find real professional photographers. Sometimes when i finish my last photoshoot and it is already dark and not possible to get some photos in the day light, i see photographer walk just walking to area for photoshoot.. the person or couple dressed well , hair and make up from professionals .. Photographers is with $300 dollars camera.. i don’t blame photographer.. i feel sad.. When people don’t like their photos they will lose their positive energy for future works.. what is my advice for to be a professional photographer… start with simple dslr camera.. look at the professional photographers works on magazines, Instagram web sites etc.. Take your best friend with you to the location.. Take the picture the style you want.. Then edit them and see the result.. You can see that any one is not looking for PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHY works. learning time.. Take workshops.. watch Youtube. take online courses.. buy more equipment.. different angels lenses, external lights, reflectors .. If you have a change try to work with a PROFESSIONAL PHOTOGRAPHER as an assistant. If your goal is FASHION PHOTOGRAPHY, then find a FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER. don’t think about money even if he does not have paid job.. just help like a volantery.
If you want to be a WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER after a few courses try to be Seccond Shootter.
if you want to be a portrait photographer for families, engagement, couples find a job in a studio.. They don’t pay well but they can be a good school for beginner.. when you done those all, take your camera does not matter what time you are taking people with you for a photoshoot.. because you know what you want to do at the moment.
