When starting a small photography business do you need to be bonded and if so how do you go about getting bonded?

If you are starting your own small photography business you shouldn't need to be bonded. When you get larger (if you get large enough) you may wish to consider some sort of professional liability insurance, but I've never known of a professional photographer to be bonded or have such insurance. Good luck.

What are The photography Requirements?

In order to be a photographer, you don't really need any qualifications. All you really need to know is the concepts of photography and exactly what you are doing. Also its good to have an understanding in what you are photographing, for example how skateboarders do what they do. You'll need good people skills if portraiture is what you want to get into. You can get qualifications in photography but in my opinion, all you really need is the passion, and a good portfolio..


Can I get an online photography degree?

I am a professional photographer and have been for 9 years. You do not need a degree. You can take a photography class at any local university and get a certification. Your work is what clients will look at and you will have to have a basic knowledge of technical skills such as: aperture, shutter, lenses, lighting, and all the other how to's. Your composition is something you can practice. You can also buy some books and save yourself a lot of money by learning these things on your own.
