What preparations should I make to open a photo studio?

1. Business license, about 3,000 yuan.

2. Opening a photo studio does not require printing equipment, even for very large photo studios.

3. Equipment is required: a computer capable of drawing, a SLR digital camera (definitely not a consumer grade one), and an A4 format photo printer that can quickly print photos (used when guests need to take photos quickly) Prints are basically one-inch or two-inch photos. Photo studios develop photos at photo labs.

4. Makeup artist, stylist, photographer, photo post-production artist! ! If you also do film and television photography, you will also need a videographer and a film and television post-production compositor, both of which are indispensable.

5. It cannot be said that the rent varies greatly in different regions of the city. The annual rent for purchasing a photo studio in our slightly prosperous space is also 20,000, and it must be paid for at least one year.

6. The key is where you open your business. If it is a big city, just tell the above. If it is a small village, a printer, a computer and a camera will be enough. The investment is less than 10,000. , of course, the income is also very low

7. The necessary equipment for opening a photo studio, the main light and the auxiliary light. A small photo studio can only use three lights - the main light, the side light, and the bottom light. ; In addition, auxiliary lights refer to the backlights, hair lights, etc. commonly used in photo studios.

8. Scenery - Depending on personal preferences and local conditions, there are usually more pure scenes;

9. Computer equipment: It must be equipped with a recorder, audio, and a camera connected or Card connection equipment and camera connection equipment, scanners, printers, etc.;

10. Install the windows system in the software (you need to install the driver and graphics card), image reading software, playback software, photoshop or go your own way in the software\premiere \Word and other necessary software;

11. Camera: Because it is a small photo studio, 6 million pixels is enough;

12. Cosmetics need to be prepared. 1. You can’t save a camera, at least get a 350D. If you have some conditions, go to S2 or S3 to lay the foundation for future wedding photos (the most profitable photo set) (how can you enlarge the photo without getting one with more than 8 million pixels? How can you make money without amplifying movies? )

13. Computer: At least it should be equipped with about 2800 and 512 memory. Try to make the hard disk as large as possible. It requires 120Gb or more. Don’t make the monitor look bad. LCD, Philips 17 flat screen is very good.

14. In terms of scenery, a set of digital super-real scenes (about 10 sets) and a set of solid-color backgrounds (about 5-8 colors are enough). It is recommended to use an electric background stand. If you are really tight on funds, then use a manual one.

15. Clothing: Generally, manufacturers will take the initiative to sell products door-to-door. You can also go to a specialized photography equipment market to buy it (it is usually very cheap if it is delivered to your door, but it is much more expensive to buy it yourself.)

16. In terms of software: photoshop7.0 is enough, neatimage4.0, Knockout2.0, these software are almost ready and it is basically ready. The rest comes with experience.

17. Lighting may not seem to have much impact at first glance. It seems that it is just a studio light. In fact, it is not the case. It is strongly recommended that you bring your camera and test it on site. At the same time, it is best to seek professional help. Sometimes lighting has a greater impact on pp than the camera.
