Hello,

Are you wanted a kick a$$ picture of yourself doing your thing on your quad/bike/sled that nobody else does? Or how about a poster or canvas to hang on the wall at your office? Well this is your opportunity. I'm looking to start a photography business taking pictures of you. I can edit pictures as well. I would like i few for my portfolio so the first customers will receive an awesome deal. PM me if you are interested and we can go from there. From Jumps, races and mud bogging contact me for your Picture needs.

So what is your level of experience, background, training, equipment base, and satisfaction guarantee? My clients always want to know what sets me apart from the 100's of wannabes with entry level DSLR's out there.... Why should they pay me Instead of their uncle Bob? It's a good question to think about and to answer before the question is asked...

For sure. It seems everyone with a DSLR and photoshop these days considers themselves a photog.

Whoa I'm not looking for primary income off of this, I'm just hoping to fill a gap. I know a lot of people out there want awesome pics, drag me along (wont be hard :) ) and i'll take them for Free, if you like them I'll sell them. No risk at all. As far as experience, i've taken a couple photography courses, taken some one on one classes with some professionals, Been editing and doing my own pictures for about 2 years now and now I'd like to expand a little. As far as equipment goes, I've invested quite a bit of money into it so there's no worry there. The only option left is a the canon 5D MIII and with the specs it has isnt exactly geared towards motorsports photographers. I'll stick with my 7D for now.

If you like my photos why should you pay me? well thats only IF you like them. If you dont alright maybe next time.

hmmm seems to be a bit of unfriendly "photography" rivalry :/ no need, theres enough of me for all :D

No rivalry at all: I have job and it isn't photography. In fact, I refuse to charge money for photos and only do photos for things/people that I am inspired and challenged by. I spent the big money and alot of time to make a legitimate business out of photography and learned very quickly that the business side kills my passion... Mareshow can take all the business they want- I just thought I would ask a few questions that help to establish his/her legitimacy as a photographer. Not looking to compete at all. I wish Mareshow all the best and look forward to seeing some

Sorry- didn't want to assume anything. There is a person with the handle "Mare" on here and that person is female, so I just wasn't sure!!
