thanks i will

Just asking because I know some people on here have published already and wanted to know if they had any tips or advice where to start off

I have a studio out in the woods.

With a basement.

Just look in the phone book. There must be lots of local studios that specialize in portrait photography.

I'd dabbled in professional photography before. And by that, I mean I've taken pictures of my own ding-dong and posted it on the internet.

Macro lense?

mdiver said:

Yup.

mdiver said:

Well if he can make a decent picture out of that, I'd say taking a picture of a beautiful young girl would be easy.

ReturnOfDOOK said:

Hehehehe

thanks!!!!

I have done pics for matt(the moderator) orgnote me if you want some more info I can do it depending on where u live and when you want them done. Orgnote matt...he can tell you how good I am

I am a photographer of sorts, quite good or so I have been told. I think you just need to find one of me in your area. You might look at message boards for that sort of stuff. Many local papers will also have an online sorce were you can check for or request a photographer that will work with you.

There are all kinds of resourses. Check Out:

That would be a good place to start.

well since you already got some help
i'll still suggest that maybe u try out universities or colleges nearby and see if any students would be willing to do the job

especially if their in their last year, they'd love that kinda publicity right out of school

that's what I was gonna say, also check with the publishing company or the distribution company that you are working with, they may have some photogs that they work with regularly, cost may be a problem in that case though.

yes thats what i was going to say.....cost....is gonna be a hell of a problem

SammiJ said:

that is what I was leaning more towards too....Since Im a first timer they could use the publicity too...

BucketOfBouncyBalls said:

and i'm sure it'd be easier to negotiate a price too
i'm just trying to picture myself in fourth year, eager 2 get recognized as an artist...i'd prolly be willing to negotiate anything!

i'm still an amature photographer tho but hope that kinda helped nonetheless

SammiJ said:

lol thanks...I want to take all types of photos....ranging from dark to abstract. I wanted to do art work....digital art work specifically but I don't have the slightest idea where to begin.
