Photography Basics

This section of my blog contains a comprehensive resource for taking better pictures.

Photographic Vision

Developing Photographic Vision Photographic vision: Shoot a wide variety of techniques. You will become exposed to many visual ideas and experience. This then can be merged into a vision. Keep shooting using different techniques, different subjects, break the rules, and worry less about what others think about your photos. Shoot for yourself. If you are excited by what you are doing, you are on the right path to personal vision.

How much do you spend on your "photography hobby"?

Are you one of those lucky ones that has the cash to buy all
the latest gadgets? Do you have hundreds or even thousands of
dollars worth of filters and lenses that you never even
bother to use?

Or, is money a little tight?

Is there a lens you're dying to have - but just can't afford?

Want to switch from film to digital but you just can't swing
the cost of a good camera?

Think it would be nice to own a set of studio lights... but once
your spouse found out you bought them, you'd end up sleeping
on the sofa?

Wouldn't it be nice if someone ELSE paid for all your equipment?

They will - if you have your own part time photography business.

If you have a part time photography business operating out of your
home, you can deduct your photo equipment as a business expense!

Let Uncle Sam (if you are in the United States) pay for a part of
your gear through tax write offs! Plus you can deduct car expenses
and mileage associated with your business, your home office and
tons of other goodies!

And that's just the tax benefits. (Check with your CPA)

On the income side, you will have income from your customers that
will pay for all your new equipment, new cars, college for
the kids, etc.

Long term, you will be building an asset (your business) that can
be sold for a substantial chunk of change when the time comes to
retire. Or, you can leave it to your kids so they don't have to be
a slave to a weekly paycheck their whole lives.

You can dump some of your earnings into various tax free retirement
programs, have money to invest, FINALLY have the Christmas you've
always wanted but couldn't afford. And on... and on.



All is possible - for YOU. You just need to get started.
