Some people can be GREAT at what they do and have no formal training...and some people can SUCK at what they do and have expensive schooling. So it really just depends on the quality of his work.kado!https://www.blogger.com/profile/06376884479035290738noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17833142.post-91249840377071690112009-11-13T12:56:39.175-05:002009-11-13T12:56:39.175-05:00Wow, that is a tough one!

I know some excellent photographers that don't need photoshop though....so it is all in where your talent lies in my opinion :)Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16483641233177919179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17833142.post-69848114091863235812009-11-13T10:29:36.900-05:002009-11-13T10:29:36.900-05:00I don't know too much about photography but I ...I don't know too much about photography but I would think he'd need to show some raw stuff to get any business. <br /><br />Thanks so much for your visit recently.

Clients don't care if he's a "sell-out," they just want good pictures.

Cause if so, he's a photographer. My other thought is that almost all the photographers who I have had take my/family/kid pics are self-taught or maybe only had basic classes on camera use. I don't think it's something that necessarily requires training (although it obviously helps). Lots of kinds of art can be self-taught. How talented you are will determine whether you get hired or not. If he has no clue what he's doing, his "career" will be short lived. On the other hand, if he has a natural talent for it, maybe he will be good at it. The proof is in the pudding, I think.Omgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17193367587292656589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17833142.post-18750679763121021112009-11-12T13:34:17.672-05:002009-11-12T13:34:17.672-05:00I Don't quite get the mentality of quitting yo...I Don't quite get the mentality of quitting your job to pursue a hobby as a means of business.

They just have an expensive camera and took a photoshop class. <br /><br />I don't think they should be charging the same amount. Especially if you do not have the degree to back it up!

By what you have seen in peoples homes. That I guess, is of course...just my opinion.Rhondahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11401395669498079057noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17833142.post-34846093715613297402009-11-12T00:55:30.829-05:002009-11-12T00:55:30.829-05:00Hey baby, you should come right over here and give...Hey baby, you should come right over here and give me some good smooches.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17833142.post-29597050789673071842009-11-11T23:06:33.524-05:002009-11-11T23:06:33.524-05:00Does he have any type of portfolio?
