so i've been in the process over the last few days, of thinking of ideas for a photography webpage. i told myself i'd never do the "portrait photographer" thing. seems like photographers are a dime a dozen out there. the market is so saturated, how could i possibly get any business doing that?
but then i noticed that i've been hired to do a shoot almost once a month for the last 6 months. the frequency in which i'm asked to do a shoot has doubled. now granted i don't "put myself out there" or advertise myself as a photographer. mostly i get work by word of mouth which is free and practically effortless. but these are lean times, and if i can make some money doing something i love rather than doing the minimum wage retail thing, i'm happy.
i'd like to think that in the sea of photographers out there i can set myself apart by offering or doing something different. (at least from others in my area). i offer collages with my photo sessions. i do some designing in photoshop and create poster sized collages as a type of artistic wall hanging. so far, they've been a big hit.
so i'm gonna take the plunge & start promoting myself & see what happens. =D
my latest photoshoot was an engagement shoot right in the heart of downtown Nacogdoches.
