 Camera  Choosing the right camera might seem daunting. Regular point-and- click cameras may work for a novice, but to make a living from your camera, use what the pros use—a single lens reflex (SLR) camera. An SLR allows the operator to capture exactly what she sees in the viewfinder. Everyone seems to have an opinion on which brand is best, and if you ask professionals, you'll hear several brands mentioned. That's good news in that camera companies are working hard to deliver top quality at affordable prices, and each brand has its fans. Whatever brand you go with, keep your business needs in mind: for sports you need a high shutter speed; for portraiture you want a high megapixal count; for art you may choose a film-based camera instead of digital capture; at weddings you want a camera rated to perform well in low light.

 Interchangeable-lens SLR cameras allow for changing lenses. The type of work you want to do dictates what kind of lens you'll need. Telephoto, or zoom, lenses—which bring distant objects in focus—are a must for sports, wildlife or adventure photography. Wide angle lenses—which allow for capturing a wide expanse—are helpful for landscape photography or taking team or class photos. Mid-range lenses are used for portraiture. Specialty lenses, such as fish-eye, extreme telephoto, image stabilizing and night-vision may also be something your business needs.

 Every photography business will at times require artificial lighting, but the sources can vary widely. If you are taking photos at night or in dark venues you may need a strobe flash. Some work may require a remote-firing flash. If you work in a studio, you will require a stationary lighting system. An indoor event may call for a different color flash.
