  • you make 6 digits a year and can't afford a better camera?

    Anyway nice video

  • I just banked over $20,000 from a single weekend shoot last week. It's not how good of a camera you own but what you can create with it. My focus is making profits so I choose to invest in tools for work not for show. I see people who all the time who have much better equipment than me but they still can't market and sale their images. Buy a $5000 camera if you need to impress others but I'd rather make money not waste it on expensive tools when good enough works just fine!

  • What I don't get is where you put the fill light to the right. The studio is so small. So you got the main light to the left so what you do? Invite spiderman over to hold the fill light to the right?

  • We don't use a fill light. Just one main light now with a large soft box instead of an umbrella and a large silver reflector. Plus we no longer use an old masters background. We now shoot on a white background, extract the subjects and replace the white background with any of the digital backgrounds from: "Digital Fantasy Backgrounds" or "Baby Photo Backdrops" Try a few for free at: "Free Background Club". Just copy and paste those phrases into Google and you'll see what we now do!

  • We shoot with one main light now with a soft box and use a large silver reflector on a stand for fill light instead of using a 2nd light. And we no longer use Old Masters type backgrounds anymore because with a white background and "Digital Fantasy Backgrounds" we can create Digital Art out of thin air with just a white background, one light with a soft box and one reflector so now we require even less space to shoot in! Just google "Digital Fantasy Backgrounds" to see what we mean.

  • do you have a portfolio or website to view your portraits?

  • We have several sites to help other photographers like our

    "DigitalFantasyBackgrounds" . com site and for those just getting started  "MomsWithCamera" . com

  • One of the best advice I got about buying gear: Buy GOOD lenses.  The body isn't as important. Today's technology is tomorrow's land fill. High end, fast lenses (anything with an f2.8 or faster, f2, f1.8, f1.4, etc) will hold their resell value longer than any expensive camera body. check ebay

    The best bargain in town will ALWAYS be the inexpensive, very common 50mmf1.8 (Canon & Nikon) for 100.00 new. The f1.8 helps in BLURRING out the background.

    Anything starting with f3.5 to X are junk.

  • I was like that about a couple of years ago.

    I've got into photography about 4 years ago and I loved it. I saw other people work and I'm like woah! I suck, lol. But that motivated me to do better. Now I have my very own business and making good money, but photography is my side job, just something I do for fun and get paid for, lol.

    But yeah, start off little and get feedback from people to see where you can improve and BOOM, you should succeed.

  • Can you give a List of what you need for a Photo Studio?

    like camera, light, background... and on.. and on...

    Please?????

  • If u want to make money online I can tell U how to do it free: go to weebly & make a free site it is so easy a baby can do it. Then get a free adsence account. Then go to Just10time & use it to get it ranked in the search engines. It is all free If U don't know how to find these sites put .com after their names. Google pays you everytime some one clicks on one of the ads on your site. When you R done with one make another. Your money problems will be over in not time. Trust me it works.

  • @EZphotoCash classy.....
