Breaking Into the Business

This is the beauty of the DWF Student Forum—pro members join the discussion offering perspective about newbie photographers who offer to second shoot for free. Generous DWF PRO members are answering hundreds of questions about a host of topics ranging from gear, to booking clients, to critiques of newly launched websites...

Boudoir on the DWF
lipThe best way to augment your income? Shoot during the week.

We’re honored that this forum, dedicated to the art and business of boudoir photography will feature contributions by DWF resident experts Amy and Srinu Regeti, who’ve been featured on ABC’s Nightline for their very personal and tasteful boudoir shoots all over the USA.
