The top 7 items needed to start a photo business.

So you want to become a photographer? As I've said before, it's not all that hard to do and there's never been a better time than now. So what do you need to get started? Here are the bare bones needed.

1. You need a camera. A point and shoot camera with a high  megapixel count does not replace a DSLR.
2. You should have a zoom lens. One will usually come with your camera.
3. You will need an on camera flash. The built it pop up flash won't help you much.
4. You will need a free blog page from Blogger or Word Press.
5. You need to come up with a clever name for your business that people will remember.
6. You will need an online photo gallery for online photo sales. I recommend Smug Mug.
7. You will need business cards.  Get 250 for free from  Vistaprint
