    is complex. It requires tons of practice to
    become a professional photographer. Getting into
    professional photography becomes a cakewalk for
    beginners if you clear your basics in the initial
    stage of learning.
  • Once you become a master of handling a
    professional camera, it becomes easier to make
    money. Many professional photographers start as
    a wedding photographer. Though, they dont have
    any set path for building their career in wedding
    photography, but they equip themselves with
    skills that create exquisite captures for
    weddings.

1. Technical skills
  • The camera is a technical device and every
    professional needs to be perfect with the hard
    skills and knowledge of it. There is a lot to
    learn about the camera, its functions and their
    relevance in the professional world of
    photography. Every beginner first needs to learn
    the art of composition, exposure, aperture,
    shutter speed, ISO and many other important
    functions. These are the most significant
    elements that play a crucial role in the overall
    outcome.   
  • Apart from the important functions, comes the
    mastery of lighting. The ratio of lighting and
    its setup in sync with the camera produces the
    best photographers in the world.

2. Getting The Right Gears
  • Once you are confident with the knowledge and
    technical skills you have gained, get ready to
    explore the right gears and equipments. Whether
    you are planning to become a wedding photographer
    or any commercial photographer, gears will always
    help you to get started in the industry.
  • Always purchase a good and latest model camera to
    stay updated with the market trends. Buy good
    quality basic lights and filters that can give
    your career a push. Limit your expenses and find
    the best photography lenses in the industry that
    can transform you into a professional
    photographer.

3. Starting As An Assistant Photographer
  • Every professional photographer starts as an
    amateur assistant. To begin your career in
    wedding or professional photography, start
    assisting experienced photographers. It helps
    beginners in gaining hands-on experience. They
    get an idea about how the industry functions and
    the process of delivering outstanding work.
  • If you want to get into wedding photography,
    approach already established professionals you
    could assist for engagement and wedding
    functions. This could be the best way to get
    exposure before you randomly dive into the
    market. This could also help you in knowing your
    mistakes and overcoming weaknesses that can
    adversely impact your portfolio.

4. Become A Second Shooter At Close Weddings
  • In order to become a professional photographer,
    it is mandatory to gain quality experience than
    making money. With a strong portfolio and
    experience, you could easily excel in the field.
    If you are planning to make your career in
    wedding photography, dont be shy to become a
    secondary shooter at your friends or familys
    wedding. Since you stay with them for longer
    hours, you get myriad of chances to click candid
    and happy moments.
  •  
  • Instead of getting into the market, you can
    always start from your in-house weddings and
    curate compelling captures. With this gig, you
    can capture beautiful groom or brides prepping
    moments and other photojournalistic moments.

5. Focus On Packaging And Presentation
  • Packaging and presentation are two important
    things that need to be looked upon thoroughly.
    One of the common mistakes that even professional
    photographers do is not packaging their work in a
    way that entices prospective clients. Increasing
    the quality of work and putting it in a way that
    captivates your customers' mind makes you the
    best photographer in the industry.
  • Remember that even if your pictures are of
    extremely high quality but they are not placed in
    a presentable manner, it can completely ruin your
    reputation even before it starts to build.

Practice and observation are the two streams you
can go with to become a professional
photographer. Practice makes your technical
skills perfect and observation helps you in
mastering artistic compositions. Undoubtedly,
your first 1000 photos could be worse in the
beginning but with continuous practice, you could
easily become the best photographer in the
industry.
