AO3 | previous

It was a good thing you had a backup plan—at least, that’s what you hoped it would be. Back in high school, you started a small website for your photography business. You made some good money from it back then, so you decided to bring it back in hopes of starting a small business in Gotham.

So far, it’s sort of worked.

In a couple of weeks, you’ve had about three bookings, all for some yearbook photos at three different schools in the city. The money from it could only get you gas and maybe some dinner that could work as leftovers if you were smart and knew how to make it last.

Still living in your car though, but it could be worse!

Your photography bookings were slowly gaining traction and taking off. The next booking was for a birthday party. It was a frat boy scene, not too impressive but hey, you got some good money from it.

The next event that booked you was a wedding.

This, you were a bit more nervous for, mostly because you had nothing to wear that was close to being wedding ceremony material. So, out of desperation, you dug through your boxes of clothes until you finally found a black dress you wore to your grandmother’s funeral back in your junior year of high school. Hopefully, you didn’t stick out like a sore thumb.

Turns out, you didn’t.

The venue was a boat. Like a really nice boat. Which told you that whoever was getting married was loaded.

Everyone was dressed differently yet so rich it made you invisible—which helped with not sticking out like a sore thumb. Whatever country the groom and bride were from seemed like they knew how to dress and throw a wedding. Colors burst everywhere, the dresses were over the top yet beautiful and the decorations were bright and loud. Taking pictures was easy to do with so many sights for you to capture.

This had to be the best booking you’ve ever gotten, especially if it seemed like an A-list kind of wedding with as much security around.

At some point, you were dragged away to the second floor of the ship to get pictures of the bride and the bridesmaids.

“Shit! Shit! Shit!” A shriek came from the room the wedding planner was dragging you toward.

After pushing the door open, inside there was a woman in a puffy wedding gown the color of scarlet with women surrounding her as they did her hair and makeup. Everyone here seemed to speak Spanish and caught up in their own little worlds—except for the bride of course.

The event planner guided you toward the bride, motioning for you to take pictures of her getting ready. You carefully made your way over—mindful not to get in the way of the makeup and hair crew—as you held your camera up, “Okay, can I get a nice smile from the bride—“

“How the fuck do you expect me to do a heist without a getaway driver?! What do you mean King Shark called in sick?!” You paused, the grip on your camera tightening. A heist? Did you hear that correctly? The bride to be planning a heist in the middle of her wedding? No, maybe you misunderstood…

The bride kept going, not noticing you yet. “This isn’t Big Belly Burger! He’s not gonna get fucking PTO…” The bride trailed off once she did finally notice you and your camera. She had a phone to her ear and her eyes were wide. Oh shit. “Aw, shit…”

Shit, she knows you overheard her. Why the hell was she planning a heist in the first place—not the point. But this made you a suspect, right? What if the police got involved—what if she’d have you killed for knowing about the heist? How did this already turn to shit?

For a moment, the two of you just stared at each other. Waiting to see what the other would do first.

“Harls? You good?” A woman’s voice came from the bride’s—Harls—phone. The woman was probably her other crew for the heist—shit, she was going to send them after you, wasn’t she?

Think, think!

“Yeah…” The bride sighed as she reached under her dress. You blanched when you saw it was a gun. “Montez might’ve sent a little birdie—yes, don’t worry, I’ll handle it! I haven’t screwed it up yet!”

“¡sonríe para la cámara!” You blurted before taking her picture with the flash on.

She hissed, throwing her head back in surprise, “Ow!—The little birdie blinded me!—Yeah well, it hurt my eyes so shut up, will ya?”

Quickly, you moved to get pictures of the bridesmaid, repeating the same line in Spanish, hoping to show that you couldn’t speak English and totally didn’t hear or understand anything she had said about a heist or a getaway driver, before dashing out of the room to get back to the deck.

You blended in with the rest of the guests and photographers, making sure to keep your head low and unnoticeable. But of course, you just had to notice more strange things.

The security guards standing by were all holding guns, almost as if ready to shoot anyone who would step out of line. Then there were some of the guests. Most of the men were tatted and drenched in gold chains and expensive-looking watches. The gold didn’t stop at the men but even the women were decked out in more expensive-looking jewelry. Some were even smoking cigars as they stepped straight out of The Godfather.

First, the bride was planning a heist and now you felt as if you were in the middle of a mob boss movie. Just what kind of wedding was this?

“You’re living in your car. You’re living in your car.” You murmured to yourself, trying to calm your nerves.

Suddenly the groom came down the aisle and everyone gathered in place. The distant waves of the water and the organ playing set the mood of the wedding. You snapped pictures of the bridesmaids and groomsmen walking down the aisle and snapped a few more pictures of the guests before finally the bride came out.

You subtly hid yourself behind a nearby security guard, hoping to stay out of sight as she came down the aisle. She was very pretty, that much was clear. Some of her pale blonde hair was highlighted with blue and pink and her scarlet wedding gown trailed along the floor behind her as she walked. But she seemed quite distracted, her head snapping back and forth as if she were looking for something—or someone.

Shit, was she still hoping to take you out? Maybe you’re Spanish was a bit rusty after all.

Fortunately, you weren’t the one she was worried about.

By the time she got to the end of the aisle, the minister began the officiation—and yet you couldn’t stop noticing strange things as the ceremony went on.

Some of the security guards started blocking the entrances. Some of the guests began fiddling with their holsters that were conveniently hidden under their coats and dresses. Then there was the fact a few chairs were empty of a few guests a few thuds were coming from outside the double doors the security guards were standing in front of.

You were suddenly all too aware of the way the boat was slightly rocking. All your life, you’ve never been one to be seasick but your stomach was twisting up into all sorts of knots at the moment. You could legitimately throw up from being so anxious.

God, you really hated being observant.

“Harley Quinn, do you take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband?” The minister asked, snapping you back to the ceremony.

“Huh? Oh yeah, sure.” The bride—Harley—shrugged distractedly whilst her eyes kept dancing around the room.

“And Gabriel Montez, do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?”

You furrowed your brows at that point. Why was the minister speaking English?

Harley seemed to notice this as well. “Aw, shit.”

The minister closed the bible, “Then I hereby pronounce you—UNDER ARREST!”

And just like that, the whole room broke into utter chaos. The minister removed his fake beard and robes to reveal he was a cop. A few of the security guards did the same. You ducked under a nearby table as soon as the guns were out, the cigars were put out, and bullets went flying.

The bride, Harley pulled out two guns and joined in the gunfight. “Secure the goods! Secure the goods! We’ll get our own fucking getaway driver!”

You had to get out of here fast.

Taking a risk, you crawled from under the table and toward the double doors leading out of this chaotic room. A body had dropped next to you, causing you to yelp and look away before you could see the blood and the lifeless eyes from them. You just kept going, no point in stopping or looking back. Everyone was distracted, you wouldn’t waste your chance of escaping.

Once you got to the double doors, one of them slammed open—nearly smacking you in the face in the process—as a few more security guards rushed in to join the chaos. You took that chance to dive through the door right before it closed, muffling the shouts and the gunshots. Stumbling to your feet, you didn’t hesitate to run.

It took a moment for you to find the path leading down under the boat where are the escape baots were. That’s the one thing you remembered when you were given the tour. There were for emergencies and you were pretty sure this counted as one. But finding it was the biggest relief. They were all either lifeboats or motorboats. And wanting to get to land faster, you went for the motor boat.

Quickly, you searched for the emergency latch and pulled it down, creating an opening wide enough for you to take one of the boats and escape. You leaped onto one of the motorboats, making sure to untie it from the anchor.

“Freeze!”

You yelped and glanced over our shoulder, seeing a cop a few feet away, pointing a gun straight at you.

Fuck.

“H-Hey! I’m not a part of this! I’m just the photographer!” You tried while raising your hands as the cop drew closer, his gun never wavering.

“Slowly, get out of the boat.” The cop ordered making your heart drop.

Fuck, fuck, fuck. Carefully and slowly, you got out of the motorboat, “There must be some mistake—I swear I have nothing to do with the heist, I swear!”

The cop then narrowed his eyes, “Oh yeah, then how did you know there was even a heist if you’re just a photographer?”

You paused and realized your mistake. Okay, that one was on you.

“Alright, that’s a fair point.” You grumbled, hands still raised.

The cop never lowered the gun, “Step away from the boat. You’re coming with me.”

Your heart pounded in your chest as you slowly stepped away from the boats. “Please—this is all just some misunderstanding—all I do is take pictures—um, do you have to point the gun at me? Uh…No hablo ingles?”

“Just shut up already and stand still!”

“…Que?”

Now he was pissed—which granted was your fault. “Alright, kid. One more word out that mouth of yours and I’ll—“

A gun went off and the cop fell forward. You screamed as his body fell into the water. Now a new gun was pointed at you, this time with the bride—Harley Quinn—on the other side of it.

She grinned at you, “I knew you could speak English, little birdie!”

Your hands were still raised while you trembled, “To be fair I panicked and I really didn’t mean to overhear your heist plans—I’m just a photographer here trying to make a living so, uh, please don’t kill me. I won’t tell anyone, seriously—“

Distant voices and footsteps drew near, causing Harley to groan and suddenly push you into one of the motorboats. “Enough yapping and more running!“ She dumped a duffel bag onto the boat which landed with a heavy thud with clinking sounds coming from inside it. No doubt that was the stolen goods.

“Wait, what are you—“ You furrowed your brows as she was tearing the skirts of her wedding dress.

Harley sent you a glare with wide eyes, “Whatcha waitin’ for? You wanna go to the slammer or do you wanna escape and be a free birdie, birdie?!”

“Not with a criminal!”

“Gasp! I’m hurt! And here I thought we bonded for a moment!”

The cops were drawing closer. You glanced toward the dead cop floating in the water, knowing that if they saw that and you were in the boat with Harley, then you were as sure as dead.

Shit, shit, shit.

“Tick-tock, little birdie!” Harley shouted as she loaded more bullets into her guns.

With that, you quickly adjusted your camera and quickly turned the engine on. The footsteps were getting closer and Harely clicked her guns into place.

Shit, shit, shit.

The first few cops came down, guns pointed. “Stop right there—“

You slammed on the pedal and steered the motorboat out of the underboat just as Harely started blazing bullets toward the cops.

“HAHA! Too slow!” Harley stuck her tongue out as she continued shooting at the cops the more they got further and further away from the boat.

Night had fallen and the air was cold despite the warm spring season. Gunshots echoed through the distance but you tried your best to drown it out while steering the boat away from the chaos. Though, of course, chaos itself was on the boat with you.

“Wow, you’re good at this! Have ya ever been a getaway driver before?” Harley asked once they were further away out of range of the cops and gunshots.

You swallowed, shivering slightly from the cold. “No—I mean, I’ve driven a boat before but I’ve never done this. Boat racing doesn’t count, does it? Then again, I’ve never helped a criminal escape from the police—am I going to be wanted now? Did they see my face? Oh great, not even a couple of weeks into here and I’m already being chased by police—there aren’t going to be flyers with my face around town are there? I just wanted to get a job and a little apartment, not go to jail—“

“Wow, you’re a yapper, huh?” Harley laughed as she leaned against your shoulder. “Well, welcome to Gotham, suga, it ain’t getting any prettier from here.”

You frowned and glanced toward her, “Uh…thanks?”

Eventually, a beach came into view as you steered the boat toward it. Once you had gotten to shore, Harley leaped out of the boat with the bag of stolen goods, “You should probably get running, birdie. Them coppers are persistent little fuckers.”

Just as she said that you heard the distant sirens stirring you to quickly scramble away from the boat and rush along the beach. Harley ran in one direction while you ran in another.

“See ya around, little birdie!” You heard her call and could practically hear the grin in her voice.

Finally, after what felt like hours, you found your parked car and let out a huge sigh of relief. Only to groan when you realized that you wouldn’t be paid after all of that bullcrap. So much for a guaranteed buck. Maybe no more weddings for now—especially ones on boats.

You took your camera and placed it safely back in its case when you suddenly felt something heavy in the pocket of your dress. Hesitatingly, you dug into your pocket and took out the heavy object—only to gasp.

In your hands was a gold watch—one of those watches you’d seen those older tattooed men wearing at the wedding. How it got in your possession you weren’t sure….

A flash of Harley’s grin was imprinted into your mind and you gripped the watch.

You could return it. That would be the right thing to do.

But then again, you went through hell just for a photography job. And you needed another meal to last you more than a couple of nights.

Technically…you didn’t steal it.

And technically, you could look at this as your paycheck.

In the corner of your eye, there was movement. You thought someone had caught you as you quickly pocketed the watch away and looked toward the movement.

Only you saw a cat sitting on the hood of one of the nearby cars, its indigo eyes staring in your direction curiously. You let out a breath you didn��t know you had been holding.

At some point, you pulled out of the parking lot. At some point, you drove past the police cruisers who didn’t spare you a second glance. At some point, the watch ended up back in your pocket and you didn’t think twice about it then.

You could probably start a website with minimal issues and advertise yourself as a wedding photographer who specializes in candid photography, capturing those special unposed moments, and just see if anyone tries to book you and build from there.

I googled something, saw a URL and then promptly became too high to function

At first i was just losing it at the name and the austin tech dudes who might as well have come out of central casting, but then i googled some more and this shits the most insane scam ive ever seen. You post your business like tattooing or wedding photography, then you are charged for every person who contacts you to set up a job. Every report of this ive found online is pretty consistently $20 per lead, which is frankly insane, because you get charged when someone who meets your business preferences *messages you*, not when you take a job. Insane. No call center, just emails, so i assume this is just an easy passive money farm for them, because they also run lessons.com, naturally, which is the same website but for jiu jitsu classes and shit. insane. I had an asthma attack seeing this website

i may have dropped off the face of the earth for a hot minute, so hopefully you haven't been asked these ones yet!

11, 30, 46, 52, 60, 71, 68, 86, 98, 99

EEEE thanks Khy! Questions found here.

11. How many pairs of shoes do you own?

Shoes that I wear REGULARLY?? I think maybe four pairs? Sneakers I've had since 2018, two pairs of Toms, and my rain boots. OH! And slippers I wear when I go downstairs to do laundry. So five. I have more in my closet, but those are for special occasions (fancy boots, shoes i've worn at weddings, etc). I don't really care much about shoes, I'd rather be comfortable more than anything!

30. How many pillows do you sleep with?

I have multiple pillows, but I typically only sleep with one! I love firm pillows and I only have one (I inherited my other pillows from my previous roommates who had a ton and said I could take them, but they're too soft for my so I have a bunch of stuffed animals sitting on them instead lol). If I have a cold or something though, I'll sleep with at least two!

46. What is your personality type?

ISFJ I believe. I haven't taken that quiz in a while so I should probably see if it updated but I can be pretty shy and sensitive until I feel comfortable around others! Here's what the 16 Personalities website says:

ISFJ (Defender) is a personality type with the Introverted, Observant, Feeling, and Judging traits. These people tend to be warm and unassuming in their own steady way. They’re efficient and responsible, giving careful attention to practical details in their daily lives.

I think that's pretty accurate I guess? Now I'm interested to take it again!

52. Favorite food?

I answered that here with french fries, but I also LOVE ice cream. My fave flavors are usually anything with chocolate chips in it, mint chocolate chip being my all time fave!! I also love chocolatey or peanut butter cup flavors. IT'S ALL SO GOOD!!!

60. Do you talk to yourself?

Also answered here but yes, all the time! I'm always talking to myself and addressing invisible people in my apartment as if I'm on camera. What better way to stave off the horrors than pretending you're putting on a comedy routine of some kind? 😅

68. Favorite school subject?

Rather than say English (because duh, I love reading and writing), I'll say my fave class I ever took in high school was photography class! My teacher was simply the most fun and laid back teacher I ever had, and he was so incredibly encouraging and helpful about all things, not just photography based! I loved being able to listen to music in the dark room and did projects I actually cared about and enjoyed and had a few pieces displayed around school! My dad still has a few of them hanging up in his office back home :)

71. What makes you nervous?

Dare I say most things? Lol, on account of I have generalized anxiety. The thing that's making me nervous RECENTLY is that my job comes to an end in a month and job hunting is STRESSFUL. Especially when I live in such an expensive city! I reached out to the creator of the show I work on yesterday to ask him advice about writing for television, and while I know THAT itself was brave, I'm nervous for his response lol. I have an appointment today which always makes me nervous, I'm worried I'm not DOING enough, failing, all that good stuff. YAY! Aren't you glad you asked 😂

86. What are you allergic to?

There's one specific medicine that made me break out in hives as a kid (am I even still allergic? who knows!), but more noticeably and mysteriously, there's a certain fiber in fabric material that makes my hands itch and swell. I used to think it was tulle, but it seems to happen randomly after I touch certain fabrics. I have to run my hands under cold water and constantly flex them to try and get the swelling to go down. That also happens when the weather outside is way too hot! What is the exact fiber? No clue, it usually happens pretty randomly when I'm out and about lol. Luckily it's nothing life threatening, just annoying!

98. Do you have any scars?

I do! I was bitten by a dog that I lived with in 2021 (I no longer live with her and am in a much better place now), but for a long long time I had a very noticeable bite on my left thigh. THAT SHIT SUCKED! It's mostly faded by now but the trauma remains 😅 I've had other injuries that scarred for a while and eventually faded away, but that one will definitely stay with me.

99. Color of your bedspread?

Navy blue! I know people always say when men have navy blue sheets it's a red flag (idk why, it's just what I've heard - don't have to clean them as much maybe? who knows!), but I got mine in that color because it matches my comforter, which is white with navy flowers on it! I promise it's cute and NOT a red flag! They're also really high quality with a nice thread count. I love them!

#thanks for these khy!#i love sharing stuff like this #:)#so fun #emma blabs #khywren #answered #thanks for the ask!#mine #tumblr game #ask game

The Importance of Event Photography: Capturing Moments That Matter

Event photography plays a crucial role in documenting significant occasions, from corporate gatherings to weddings and birthday celebrations. A skilled event photographer not only captures the highlights but also preserves the emotions and atmosphere of the day, creating lasting memories for clients. In this blog, we will delve into what event photography entails, the benefits of hiring a professional, tips for selecting the right photographer, and frequently asked questions.

What is Event Photography?

Event photography refers to the practice of capturing images during events, whether they are personal celebrations like birthdays and weddings or corporate functions such as product launches and conferences. This type of photography requires a blend of technical skill and an artistic eye to document candid moments, posed portraits, and the overall ambiance of the occasion.

Key Features of Event Photography

Candid Shots: One of the hallmarks of event photography is the ability to capture spontaneous moments. A good photographer will blend into the background, allowing guests to interact naturally, which results in genuine expressions and emotions.

Formal Portraits: In addition to candid shots, many events require posed photographs. Whether it’s a couple at their wedding or a team at a corporate gathering, formal portraits play a significant role in preserving memories.

Details and Decor: Professional event photographers pay attention to the little details that make an event special. This includes decorations, table settings, and other elements that contribute to the overall theme and atmosphere.

Why Hire a Professional Event Photographer?

While it might be tempting to ask a friend or family member to take pictures during an event, hiring a professional comes with numerous benefits:

Expertise and Experience

Professional photographers have extensive experience in capturing various types of events. They understand how to manage lighting, composition, and angles to ensure the best possible shots. With their expertise, you can trust that they will deliver high-quality images that meet your expectations.

High-Quality Equipment

Professionals invest in top-of-the-line cameras and lenses to achieve superior image quality. This equipment is essential for capturing moments in different lighting conditions, ensuring that every photograph is sharp and vibrant.

Post-Processing Skills

Editing is an integral part of photography. Professionals have the skills and software necessary to enhance images, ensuring they look polished and visually appealing. This can include color correction, retouching, and creating a cohesive style that reflects your event.

Time-Saving

Hiring a photographer allows you to focus on enjoying the event rather than worrying about capturing it. A skilled photographer knows what to look for and can document moments without interrupting the flow of the event.

How to Choose the Right Event Photographer

Selecting the right event photographer can make a significant difference in the outcome of your photos. Here are some tips to consider:

Review Portfolios

Before hiring a photographer, review their portfolio to assess their style and expertise. Look for consistency in their work and ensure that their style aligns with your vision for the event.

Read Reviews and Testimonials

Client reviews can provide valuable insights into a photographer’s professionalism, reliability, and ability to deliver quality work. Check their website and social media for testimonials from previous clients.

Discuss Your Vision

Schedule a consultation with potential photographers to discuss your vision for the event. Be clear about your expectations, preferred styles, and any specific moments you want to capture. This will help the photographer understand your needs and deliver results that align with your vision.

Understand Pricing and Packages

Different photographers offer various pricing structures and packages. Ensure you understand what’s included, such as the number of hours of coverage, the number of edited images, and whether prints are available. Compare different options to find the best fit for your budget.

Graphic Design Communication is my choice.

Why? Because I love working with images. I enjoy working with visuals, creating compositions, and developing ideas. I also like that the process is mostly clean and structured. There’s no mess, just creativity and precision.

One of my favorite things about design is working with concepts. I like developing ideas, exploring themes, and creating meaning through visuals. It’s not just about making things look nice but also about telling a story and making an impact.

One of the biggest reasons I chose this field is that I had the chance to try it before. My two years at LCFE gave me the opportunity to experiment with different areas of design and understand that this is what I truly love.

I also love technology. Since I was a child, I have enjoyed computers, gadgets, and new tech. I like working with digital tools, trying new design software, and using technology to create something interesting.

My Experience in Visual Arts

Before studying at TUS, I worked in a photo studio many years ago as an artist-designer. I mostly worked with portraits and edited images, focusing on composition and aesthetics. I also designed photo books for weddings, families, and children’s photography. That experience helped me develop an eye for beauty, structure, and strong compositions.

I also had a short experience in a web studio, where I worked on websites, logos, business cards, and other branding materials. Even then, I enjoyed clean and polished designs. I like working with color, typography, and layouts that feel balanced and well-structured.

What I Like About Studying at TUS

One of the best things about TUS is the creative freedom we have. The assignments are broad, so we can explore topics that really interest us. I like that I can dive deep into a subject that I care about or that is important for society.

I also enjoy typography. It’s interesting how fonts affect branding, mood, and even sales. Small details like this can completely change how a design feels.

My Interest in Printmaking

Printmaking is also something I really love. I enjoyed the process, but it was physically hard for me, and I don’t like working in a messy environment. Still, I hope to keep printmaking as part of my design work, maybe through risograph printing, screen printing, or other techniques.

Looking Ahead

Graphic design is very connected to people. My past experience in marketing taught me how visual design affects people’s subconscious. I think this will help me in the future when I work on posters, branding, or other projects.

Illustrated books have also been a big part of my life. One day, I hope to illustrate and publish my own book, combining my love for design, storytelling, and print media.

For me, graphic design is more than just a career. It’s a way to combine creativity, technology, and communication. That’s why I’m excited about this journey.

Yvette Heiser- Is it possible to start a career in photography without formal education?

If you are passionate about photography but don't know how to get a career out of it, this read is for you. Many people are interested in photography but also doubt whether it brings a good career if it needs any formal education, etc. The answer is photography is a good career option which doesn't always require formal education. But it needs a lot of effort to attain excellence. Watch out, Yvette Heiser investigating the Transformative Power of Photography to get an understanding of the power of photography. Here, we will discuss how we can excel at photography without a formal education.

Self-Taught Photographers

One of the recent significant developments is the rise of self-taught photographers who have honed their skills through online resources, workshops, and mentorship programs. The internet is teeming with tutorials, forums, and video workshops covering every aspect of photography, from technical knowledge to creative composition. Platforms like YouTube, Skillshare, and Udemy offer various courses taught by industry professionals, allowing aspiring photographers to learn at their own pace and choose topics that align with their interests and career goals.

Mastering the Basics:

To get started with your photography career without formal education, it is essential to master the basics of photography. Understanding exposure, composition, lighting, and post-processing techniques are fundamental skills that every photographer should possess. Exposure, controlled by aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings, determines the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor. Composition principles like the rule of thirds guide how elements are arranged within the frame, while lighting techniques can dramatically impact the mood and tone of a photograph.

Building a Strong Portfolio:

Creating a compelling portfolio is essential for showcasing your work and attracting clients. Quality often trumps quantity, so selecting the best images demonstrating your style and versatility is crucial. A diverse portfolio with different genres, subjects, and compositions showcases your photography range. Have a look at Yvette Heiser Texas – Why Hire a Professional Photographer at Your Wedding which explains the ongoing demand for wedding photographers. So, there is an absolute career awaiting professional photographers. Whether it's landscape, portrait, product, or event photography, your portfolio should reflect. Your unique vision and aesthetic. In today's digital age, having a personal website or utilizing social media platforms to display your work can significantly enhance your visibility and credibility as a photographer.

Networking and Collaboration:

Networking plays a vital role in building a successful photography career. Connecting with other photographers, joining photography groups or clubs, and attending industry events can provide valuable opportunities for learning, collaboration, and mentorship. Assisting experienced photographers on shoots can offer insights into professional workflows and client interactions, helping you navigate the intricacies of the industry. Engaging with potential clients and understanding their needs is essential for establishing relationships and securing job opportunities.

Final thoughts

While formal education can provide a structured learning environment and mentorship opportunities, it is possible to start a career in photography without it. With dedication, perseverance, and a passion for storytelling through images, the possibilities are endless for those who dare to pursue their dreams behind the lens.
