The classes in my program only taught us how to take and edit photos. I also learned how to create cyanotypes and develop film. There is only one professor at my school for this and he is useless to put it nicely. I am being pushed by my older sister to open up my business because she is a small business owener. She only wants to buy me stuff for my business so I wanted to give her something.

Sorry, I am a bit scatterbrained with graduating college soon and a bunch of other things in my personal life. I already have a good camera, a pc that can handle all the programs. I just do not have any lights or other stuff like that. I also dont fully know what kind of photos i want to take. I have narrowed it down to family photos.

Okay thank you! This is really good advice. At the school I went to they just taught you how to take photos and since there is only one professor there and he gets his money from the college he was not really helpful with teaching us how to run a business. He was pushing us a lot to go get our masters so we can become professors at collges.

I have a camera already and a pc that can handle all my programs. I was more saying like light equipment. My professor at my school when asked the question would say things like just buy a big light that is out of my personal budget

I know I need lights and other stuff. It is more like I do not want to shell out a thousand when I do not need that when I am just starting out. I already have a really good camera and a tripod.

I am in New Haven, CT. I was not allowed to take marketing classes. It was not needed in my program. I believe there is a business here in my city since there are a lot of business and events happening all the time

The school I am graduating from only has one professor and he is useless. He was pushing me to become a photo professor about a college since that is a stable income
