For photography, what business school is needed?

Question

I want to do photography, i think, but I want a business background so I can successfully manage my business, or work someplace else if the photo thing falls through.. What area of business would be the best?

Answer 1

Study advertising first and foremost. You gotta know how to get your name out there effectively. To do this you need to know who you're going to target, why, and how. Figure out those things, and then study salesmanship because when people contact you, you gotta be able to sell them and ask for the order i.e. close the deal with a valid contract, and a non refundable deposit up front before you do your photography. Finally, you should understand some basic bookkeeping.
