I Want To Start An Old Time Photo Business. Any Ideas Where To Start? Do You Need Special Camera Or Computer
By admin on Feb 23, 2010 with Comments 10
Most of the equipment would be the same as a normal studio, the only difference would be the props and costumes. The aged effects are normally created through photo retouching software, like photoshop, but the same effects can also be achieved with traditional wet darkroom techniques. If you wanted to be extremely realistic you could use a large format camera with wet glass plate negatives, but the cost would be higher than a digital camera and computer over the long run. This company, http://www.oldtymeportrait.com/ offers turn-key solutions.

Equipment is fine. Just about anything will work.
You need a location.
Start your business in a old downtown or a western town like, Carson City, Oatman, Prescott, Bisbee, Virginia City, Austin, Ely, Bubble Bee, Morenci, Flagstaff, Wickenburg, Taos, Sedona, or Santa Fe.
Tourist traffic is far more important than the equipment you choose.
Ok, let’s talk equipment. Nikon D80, medium zoom, Photoshop greyscale with sepia, guns, costumes, matte frames, and a Epson 2400. You are there!

Yeah, start by learning about photography and business.
If you need to ask this question, don’t think about putting your money and time into a photographic business. Find an outlet for your talents in something that you know something about. Professionally photography is a cut throat business, full of wannabees.
Never saying the word “NO” in a business setting! (Better to lie than disappoint)
