You can download the start files here.
It’s a chicken and egg situation – you can’t get new work as your portfolio isn’t big enough, but you can’t expand your portfolio without getting more work.
Navigating this impasse will take some ingenuity, but it’s not beyond the realms of possibility. In their latest guest blog post our friends at Photoventure suggest some ideas for expanding your image base…
01. Offering to assist
A good way to get experience of weddings is to offer to be a ‘second shooter’ for an established photographer in your area.
This is tried and tested route and many local pros will be happy to help so long as you:
Be realistic about what you are going to get on the day though, as the bride and groom, and guests, will mainly want to pose for the main shooter.
There’s no reason you can’t get some good images, though, particularly those all-important detail and funny relative shots.
Offering your services as an assistant to a commercial baby and family photographer in your area is another good strategy, and will help you get more contacts.
If you’re in the market for some new gear, then we might be able to help.
