Always the big question for a photographer who is starting in business
is if to work from home or have a studio. You can save money and
simplify things by working on location, either locally or at the house
of your client.
The latter is potentially risky since you never quite know what you
might be working with and you could find yourself in cramped
surroundings with little room for manoeuvre. Remember not every home set
up for family comfort is ideal for photography.
The alternative is to either invest in your own studio or to hire a studio
as and when you need it. If you're starting out on a budget the latter
option might have some merit but there is no guarantee that it will be
available exactly when you need it.
A business plan will help you determine the viability of investing in your
own studio.

Convention testimonials Just want to thank you for the amazing SWPP convention. Even though I could only visit yesterday (15th) I had a great time and was great to focus on my business and what I want to achieve both short term and long term and to think of the area that I need to develop my skills in.
