When starting out as a freelance photographer, establishing an attractive website is an important step in building name recognition and landing jobs. The images and information displayed on your website and its design will be the deciding factors for many people on whether they will spend their money with you.

Best Practices Best practices include making your website

easy to navigate and selecting only your very best shots to display. To produce more content, schedule complimentary photo shoots with your friends, and add only your absolute favorites to your online gallery. Also, consider starting a blog and updating it regularly. A blog gives a personal touch to a website and also gets you in the habit of regularly improving your photography skills outside of paid gigs.
