Do you own lighting? If so what kind? When you were starting out, did you rent equipment? I don't have a credit card and I'm unable to right now but even if I had a credit card you need a huge limit. Also, how did you go about getting your first rep? Do you think it's a good idea to have one just starting out? Thanks so much! Oh and a couple questions.. Do you own lighting? If so what kind?

It opened my eyes to what it actually takes and what sort of work behind a career as a professional photographer is. I was quite surprised about the big amount of time invested in business and the not so big amount of time invested in taking pictures. Hope to see more of your inspiring work. Thanks.

I'm not a pro but from what I have seen and heard it's 80-90% business and only 10-20% image making. Your posts give great insight to what goes on beyond making photos. I think you will be a great mentor to some lucky people one day, even now if you are working with someone under you. Bravo, keep up with the hard work. You have showed us that it does pay off.
