I retired from hard work and decided to start a photography business. Only those who've run their on business can understand the daftness of doing that ;)
I shoot portraits for a living and you can see some of what I do for a living at my website
www.photographicdreams.co.uk I happen to own/use canon kit (well, the example says to talk about what kit I own), but anyone who knows much about photography knows that no one system/manufacturer is the best and it is the brain behind the eye behind the viewfinder which makes an image and not the kit that takes it.
I shoot on location or in a studio setting - a studio can be made anywhere, including in an alley in Edinburgh just off the mile. All I need is a lightstand, a light and a modifier to control/shape/modify said light.
I don't profess to be much good, but I'm learning all the time and improving with every shoot I do
