Portrait photography is one of the most popular genres out there, and though it can be quite challenging, it can also be very rewarding. If you are just starting your portrait photography journey and feeling a bit overwhelmed, check out this fantastic video tutorial that shares everything you need to get started, ranging from technical skills to developing a creative mindset and starting a business.
Coming to you from Ed Verosky, this awesome video tutorial will show you everything you need to know to get started as a professional photographer. No doubt, it is crucial that you develop a mastery of technical skills like the exposure triangle, lighting, and post-processing and develop your own sense of style. However, where photographers often go wrong is overlooking the business aspect. A lot of really talented photographers unfortunately fail in the professional realm because they assume that that talent alone is what will bring them success. The truth is that taking pictures is only a small part of what a professional does. The most successful professional photographers are talented businesspeople for whom photography happens to be the service they provide. Invest as much time learning how to run a business as you do behind a camera. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Verosky.
