family photography
I want to expand my photography portfolio by taking family and friends pictures for free. Is this a good idea?
Ive been into photography for about 3 years now. I havent taken a class for it but I once worked as a photographer for Picture People and Ive been doing loads of research on digital photography and studying countless photographer's photos online. I want to start my own buisness here in my small town but before I do anything I want to expand my portfolio by taking my friends and families photos for free. Since most of these people are on MySpace I was wondering how I can advertise this on a bulletin and have them take me seriously.
It's an excellent idea -- building a great portfolio is your #1 task.
Make sure you have anyone you photograph sign a Model Release.
This makes sure everyone understands what the use of the images will be.
I don't know what you mean about MySpace -- talk to your friends and family in person.
