Rollins Sport Photography.

Expenses. I specialise in taking high quality sport photography, for example a football club

could employ me to come to a specific match and record that game through my photography, then they will use the photos to do whatever they wish.

1,389,00 for my main money maker (Camera)

1,696,00 for the high quality lens

8.99 a month for editing software

The rest (2,000) will go towards housing

Expenses as well as running a car.

Consistency and keeping busy is important to my business. 

I will market my product to sporting events and sports clubs. 

  The background experience I can bring will be that I have recently travelled to

France and New York where I perfected my photography, using the shutter speed setting to capture images moving fast. So sporting activities at high speed should be easy for myself to capture.

  There is definitely a need for my industry as they’ll always be sporting events

that need to be captured via photographs. There’s always been a slight decrease in newspapers whereas the need for photo images is forever growing through the rise of the Internet.

How I plan to promote yourself?

The first step to finding clients and getting your name out there is to define your target market. And ask yourself and who is it you’re trying to target?

I will need to know who your audience is in relation to your freelance goals. Then tailor your branding and promotions to them.

I wish to work for an organization more than creating a product, origination that want to employ such as Any Football Club with a growing media team, Local or Global news organizations.

People stealing my photos and either using them as

their own or just simply using them without having to pay.

How I plan to survive financially.

I will make enough to live on which includes paying for basic everyday needs. Things to eat, places to live etc.

Then enough money to pay for bills and outstanding fees and loans. If in debt, I will need to monitor it accordingly.

Then I will need enough to be able to purchase the things that will improve my life either material or technology wise.

The gadgets I purchase will not completely eat into my 5,000 pound loan so therefore I allow myself ‘emergency’ money incase the business doesn't take off as quickly as expected or in case I get a job worth while that is in another country.

Insurance.

Hiscox photography insurance is a tailored branch of our professional indemnity insurance policy. It is designed for anyone providing professional photography support services and protects your business against the cost of settling or defending a client’s claim that there is a problem with the work you have done for them. Professional indemnity cover can give you the peace of mind that if you face a claim for compensation, whether or not it has any merit, you have the support of an insurance policy in place.

As a professional photographer, you capture treasured memories for your clients. It’s your job to make them, their homes, holidays, children and special occasions look their best. Even in an age where everyone has a camera on their phone or tablet, the role of the professional photographer is still vital for those big occasions such as graduations, weddings, christenings and birthdays.

Where my industry is heading?

There’s always been a slight decrease in newspapers whereas the need for photo images is forever growing through the rise of the Internet. Drones are being used to film ski and snowboarding events at the Winter Olympics in Sochi, as you may have noticed. But the use of unmanned aerial vehicles for sports photography is far from a passing gimmick. In fact, you should expect more and more athletic events to be filmed by drone.

Drones are also more flexible than cable-suspended camera systems, which are also present at the Winter Olympics. While live transmission is tricky—it requires an extra transmitter, which weighs on the drone—Masina says he's flown such devices at over 40 mph while delivering live, high-definition video.
