POLL: Is there an opportunity here?

[Rodger]

I am looking for some advice as I am somewhat new to the business-side of photography.

I am trying to think more business oriented as well, it's hard!


I don't think a drunken crowd will care too much about photos. I suggest looking for actual clients. And spending $23.09 on the book, "Best Business Practices for Photographers 2nd Edition". It's written by Josh Harrington and it is wonderful! So amazingly helpful! While not the most exciting read, it provides excellent knowledge and advice on running your business.

Hey thanks everyone for your input!


Yeah I think I'll do what I was thinking from the start, which is just go and bring my camera and see what happens. I might just take a few photos and head home, or maybe start passing out cards and shooting shots, but I really think that it isn't the best business opportunity, just wanted to see if anyone saw it differently. I need to make the most of any opportunities I can. There is also the FISE (Extreme Sports Games) here in Montpellier and they go from tomorrow night 'til Sunday. For that I'm DEFINITELY going to take photos, but I think that there will be Sports Photographers that work for magazines and stuff there anyhow. Eh, just for fun though!


Thanks again everyone!!!
