How to Get Started as a Photographer
- Narrow down the field you want to focus on
macro/landscape/wildlife/etc.
your field will determine the gear you should start with
having a niche will help get your name out there
- Research! The internet has amazing resources for learning!
- Keep trying new things!
- Never give up! Don’t expect too much from yourself in the beginning - even the professionals had to start somewhere.
- Practice - if you love it, it won’t be work.
- Be PATIENT.
- Go where the light is. Start with good light and a good background. Stay. Wait. Something great may show up.
- For wildlife photos, set camera on continuous mode - the camera’s stop-motion can catch more than your eye.
- Enter contests!
