Volunteer and do stuff for free when you first start out as an absolute beginner. If your photos are good and get posted by others to social media, sent to friends/family etc, your business will grow by word of mouth. Mine did anyway. Once I started charging I invested in a better camera and 3 solid lenses. For bigger projects I usually rent more expensive lenses online. This is just a side job for me so I can’t justify spending thousands on equipment.
If your town has a local newspaper try showing up to some community events then emailing your photos in case they “might” like to use them. That worked for me as well. I wasn’t paid, but my name was credited and I got calls based on that alone.
