Hi Friends,
I would consider myself a serious amateur. I will be buying a decent DSLR in the near future.
I am planning on starting a small 'business' specializing in boudoir photos. My reason for this is I love photography, and I've always been very interested in this style of photography. I think it is empowering for women of all ages, cultures, situations, to let loose and embrace their sexuality in such a way. I would love to help them feel more confident and capture this confidence for them. I suppose it is a weird thing to want to specialize in, but it also allows the freedom of being my own boss and working from a home studio.
My question is, for this type of photography, do I NEED to take college or Uni courses? I am taking tutorial type courses just to get familiar with the basics. The creative side of things I need no help with. I've heard different things about this. Basically I do NOT want to work for a large firm or anything. Just want to work for myself.
