Photographer looking for advise

Post by pollyc »

Hi Guys

I am a full time professional freelance press photographer covering anything from Red Carpet film premieres to nightclub papping and parties. I supply pictures to a couple of agencies and have pictures frequently published in the national press.

I was at the Adult Film awards at Hammersmith last year and hope many of you enjoyed the photos I sent to www.modelalias.com from that evening.

During the course of my work I meet up and coming models and glamour girls who are keen to do some portfolio work on a shared content basis. I do not have a professional studio of my own and I am wondering about the feasability of purchasing a "mini studio" kit of lights,softboxes and reflectors
as several of the girls have said they would prefer to work from home rather than share hire costs of a studio.

Does anyone have a view on the practicality of this idea and if so some suggestions as to where to purchase the kit from.

On a related subject what do I do with the pictures once I have got them?
Is there anywhere that I might be able to go to to try and sell the pictures, obviously having got the girls to sign a model release form first.

Sorry if this sounds a bit "amateurish" but I am really only looking to expand and branch into different areas of the proffesion and need some guidance.

Many thanks to anyone who can help.

Simon
