Starting  photography business is a good way for an amateur photographer to turn their passion into a viable enterprise. While becoming a successful professional photographer is not easy, opening a photography studio is not as difficult as you might expect.

Sufficient Working Area:- This depends on the size of the subject. The space must be big enough to accommodate Studio Lighting Equipments, Photography Equipments , Photography backdrops, a desk for the photographer and enough space to take creative shots. The space needed behind the subject for the background, working space in front of the camera, and space outside the picture area for lighting and other equipment that must stay out of shot.

Light-proofing and Studio Lighting Equipments:- If artificial lighting is to be used for shooting, all other light must be excluded. Adequate Lighting is needed so we should have proper studio lighting equipments. The choice of lighting is enormous. A daylight studio clearly needs a fairly specific design. If the lighting is to be artificial, various power packs and lamp heads will have to be mounted on the  Light Stands ,studio floor, walls or ceiling. Overhead lighting often calls for more ceiling height that many rooms have. Controlling the lighting means, in particular, being able to exclude extraneous light, colors and reflections.
