16 January 2008 - 18:32How much to charge for simple wedding photography?

well… asked:

A woman I know would like me to shoot her wedding. I’ve never shot a wedding before, only fashion type editorials– and I’m still in school. How much should I charge and what is the best way to deliver the pictures? (CDs + prints? If so, how many prints?)

15 January 2008 - 3:19Has anyone attended the Nikon digital photography school that comes to your city?

Snarf asked:

I am thinking about attending there are two days of instruction, but it is pretty pricey around $150 each day. The first day is to teach basics on the digital slr camera and the second is about software programs to enhance your photos etc. Has anyone taken these courses, are they worth the price? I am not a complete beginner, just need some additional instruction, would these benefit me?

14 January 2008 - 9:57Wedding Photographers: my wife wants to start “dabbling” in wedding photography. What’s the minimum equipment?

shambo asked:

She has a Pentax DSLR camera - what I’m really wondering is, what are the specs of the lenses she’ll need to get started, and what are the specs of the flashes she’ll need. Not wanting to go full-time, just wants to make a little extra money as she’s home with our new baby daughter.
Hey “Sam C,” I’m 1/2 mexican, and 1/2 asian indian,so you’re racial slurs missed the mark. Try again.

11 January 2008 - 0:16How do we find new clients for wedding photography?

Triplescoop asked:

My husband has been a part time wedding photographer working mostly off word of mouth. He is ready to grow the business and would like to gain more clients. How should he go about advertising his business now? This is the wedding season and hopefully there is someone out there who does not have a photographer yet. It is too late to advertise in the phone book or other adds. What should we do?

My husband has the education and the experience. Now, we want to move to a full time business with this.

Any ideas will be appreciated.

My wife and I are looking for a nice digital camera. She would like it for taking routine pictures(vacation, birthdays, etc…).

6 January 2008 - 19:01Can I sell my nature photography? and how/where?

Alex L asked:

I’ve been trying for the past several years to sell prints (framed and unframed) of my nature photos ( http://acluckhardt.deviantart.com/gallery/ ) but haven’t had much success. I live in a small town and feel like I can’t get my market. I really want to build my business around selling these prints and build up a substantial amount of sales. If you have a minute, please take a look at some of those samples and let me know if such a plan is even possible… where should I sell? Eventhough I don’t have experience with portraits, should I plan to start taking local outdoor portraits? Thanks!
