Joey-Austin Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 Hello Alpha Universe,Tell us about your 1st paid photo session, and what gear you used for it?My first photo session was with Sony nex 5n and the kit lens, it was for a kid's first birthday back in 2012, I had to google some Ideas and we did it in a public park with some cake and balloons and ended it with the cake smash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonygale Posted March 6 Share Posted March 6 I was paid $40 to photograph a futon and frame for the company that makes it. It was back in 1995 I think, with an old film camera. I did a terrible job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The a6000 was a great camera, it got me my first published picture, but not with the kit lens Products Used Alpha 6000 (a6000)Cameras Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did a terrible job!I always wanted to learn how to develop film, and actually was thinking about getting a film camera and learn how to develop the film and all that, so I looked it up a couple years ago and i'm so happy we are digital now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattK Posted March 7 Share Posted March 7 I got a job back in 2012 shooting the entire sports program for a large university here in Tampa. It was over 500 people done in one day. I thought I had every detail perfect with lighting, naming ,etc… But I never realized that everyone was taller or shorter and I would move the camera slightly for each photo which meant each portrait had to be cropped individually (3-5 poses and outfit changes per person). Wasn’t fun. Luckily I realized early on that people followed me for teaching not photography, so that was the first and last paid assignment I ever did 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
