After I took some pictures of Esther, I have received a few requests to shoot some portraits. I'll be the first to admitt my work isn't perfect, but people seem to like the portraits I have done. I've followed Kevin's progress with tfp(?) and a few others. So my question is, when do you know you're good enough to get paid? Not just the sitting fee, but the same as a pro (or at least enough to make it worthwhile)?
Esther has been showing her pictures to everyone and wants me to shoot more and my deal with her is I get a model release and she has the say in what gets offered as stock but I don't want that deal with everyone. I have a few referrals from her. And people at work are asking me to shoot them. Ack. So far all my portraits have been done on location but I'm setting up a small studio in a friend's heated garage soon so I don't have to worry about a lot of overhead, yet.
If you have some experiences with this, I'm all ears. |
