How much will it cost to start aphotography studio?

Answer 1

Any new venture will cost money. A Photography studio is no different. Luckily for you, digital cameras have eliminated the long term film, and developing products and space cost. However, cameras, computers and other general equipment will still cost you some money upfront.

Apple computer - 3,000$

Digital Camera - 1,750$

Lights, backdrop, other props and equipment - 2,000$

Professional picture printer/ supplies - 1,000$

These are only estimates, so check out the prices on your own.

Your again pretty lucky that your considering this venture now. The economy has hit retail pretty hard, so developers and shopping center managers are looking to fill vacant space within their centers, so you should be able to negotiate a good lease with decent terms. Make sure you have an 6 month, 9 month, 1 year, 1 1/2, 2 year lease op-out clause, meaning you can ditch the lease in those time frames penalty free in case the business doesn't work.

Good Luck!
