Instruction manual

1

Consult with a photographer who has extensive experience in studio photography to find out what parameters the room in which the studio is located should have. If you are not going to open a "photo on documents", but are preparing a work site for a professional, then proceed from a minimum area of ​​40-50 square meters. Moreover, the spacious rental space should not only be wide, the permissible ceiling height in it is at least three meters.

Get the equipment you need to operate a professional photo studio. First of all, this is a camera, which will become the tool of your employee’s labor, and the choice of which must be approached with all seriousness. Saving by making this important step is impossible; choosing the right model from Canon is the right decision. In addition to the camera, you will need lighting equipment, backgrounds, softboxes, a set of spare accessories for the camera, dressing room furniture and a set of office equipment for the administrator’s workplace.

Find for permanent cooperation in a photo studio someone without whom it will not be possible in any way, but who alone, alone, will be able to carry out all the work, except organizational - a photographer. People of this profession form a separate caste and tend to get together on various kinds of "parties", both live and on the World Wide Web. You should use this in order to find a good specialist, and if you offer him decent working conditions, then he will surely agree to work with you. The services of a photographer, if he is a professional, will be expensive, but the class of your photo studio will depend on him.

Start now, having a well-equipped studio and a specialist ready to work, look for customers. You can offer them studio photography, reportage photography, finally, offer to use your site and photo equipment to those who do not have their own. The promotion channels, through which it is worth releasing information, should, of course, be profile ones - let the advertising agencies know about themselves first of all, although distribution of leaflets among the masses of people will also be useful.

Useful advice

When you equip a room for a photo studio, keep in mind that the color of the walls, floor and ceiling is of considerable importance when shooting - it should be uniformly white or black.

If the photo studio is your only "brainchild", then you can do the organizational work yourself, if not, it is advisable to hire an administrator who will take over these responsibilities.
