my hobby is now my job. not looking into other hobbies just yet.

a professional photographer can charge up to RM 2.5K with washes Per Day

wow.. after each event can buy new dslr

Ya, provided you don't need to pay for transportation, parking fees, toll, food, better lenses, retirement fund, photo printing costs, etc...



Plus, if you are really fully booked, you may not have enough time to take photos YOU want to take. Most of the time you're taking photos OTHER people want to take.

Edit: Oh yeah, this thread is about making money from photography, so ignore the above...

Fantastic Thread..i oso wan to join and learn leh..i enjoyed taking photos..

im planning to buy DSLR early of next year. from then on, wanna start to learn more on photography and start making money with it

yeah me too . very soon to get d80

i send to star publication get rm50 heheh

since ur using e-510, may i know how's the performance? e-510 is in my wishlist . but dunno what happen next year. maybe olympus release their new dslr model

well you think RM2.5K is a lot, you know Louis Pang? one day he can make RM 3,000 - RM 7,000

of course it all includes washes and all.

now i wanna go to photography courses.. can any1 tell me where?

ahh. met him a few months back, IINM he does like 3 - 4 shoots a month. so yeah, imagine how much he's making.

Look like not only me who are interested in this topic.. haha.. Anyway I really wish to get into photography and make it as my part time job.

Raven.. The camera you wanna sell is Alpha A100 right? I have done quite a research yesterday.. It can really compete with Canon 400D.. There r cons n pros... When i Have made up my mind on 400D..suddenly Alpha appear to influence me... thanks to u raven.. LOL..

Canon 400D perform better with less noise in High ISO compare to A100.. While Alpha selling point is the body built in Super Steady Shot. After reviewing lots of websites... i think is more practical for me to go for A100... since im not likely to play with canon variety of L lenses ...and with canon IS..is really gonna cost a bomb..

Im thinking to get the A100 with 18-70mm kit lens (better than canon 18-50mm kit lens) , 18-300mm + 50mm f1.6... Looking for the cheapest offer... this should cover a wide range of shooting and should last me a few years

Raven.. u gonna be my master jedi.. are u willing to take me as ur apprentice? May Alpha be with us~

sry if it wasnt funny....
but i did provide an appropriate answer that fits the thread subject ;]

yes a VERY humble and nice person indeed, i've never met him in person just that my friends who are event planners tell me he's a very nice down to earth guy despite his skills

every photographer start from '0'.
try to connect every single thing around you with photography. and try make money with it.
good luck..

heard about about kid chan b4 http://www.kidchan.com/

is he as good as louis pang?
