I'm so tired of hearing photographers blame not having the right gear on the shots they miss. First of all, most often they haven't taken the time to know every aspect of the gear they have. Second, if you honestly need something and can't afford it, stop being embarrassed. Go rent it! It's not a crime to be short on cash, especially when you're just getting started. However, it is a crime to use "cash flow" as an excuse!

Need Help With Pricing?
It's not rocket science and profit isn't a dirty word. Bad pricing is one of the most critical mistakes artists make.
Help is just a click away. Check out the previews for Skip's Lynda.com series on "Starting a Photography Business" and "Pricing." "Why?"Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound bite. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. We're coming up on 100 artists featured since the project started. Click on the link above and you can scroll through all of the episodes to date.
