    1st tip: Don’t stick with your camera, use it for practice but keep renting more advanced cameras for work.

    2nd tip: You need to be as a good editor as photographer. Without good editing you won’t achieve the results you are after for you or clients. So jump right into it.

      For the 1st tip, i am broke and I’m too somewhat timid to ask for money when taking pictures since my skills are only above beginner by a bit,

      For tip 2, I’ll definitely download an editing software on my laptop since editing on my phone takes a bit to load. I currently use Adobe light room on my phone idk which editing software on laptop tho

        Well, keep practicing and the time of getting paid might not be as far as you think. And good luck with the editing!
