Retired.. Have you ever wanted to have our own photography studio at a fraction of the cost of new? I have full studio setup, super large set-up (max 12" wide and 12" tall) to handle full group. $4500 if bought new. Backdrop stand, backdrop, reflectors, umbrella, soft boxes, studio lights, light meter. Its portable so you can set up in any room, garage or bring it to locations (new years party, christmas, prom, model photography, etc.). You will easily make up for the cost of the set-up with one shoot. This was many years ago but I was charging $30 per picture at one of these function (had a printer there as well) and can do 50 per big event (i.e. new years party), or $1500-$3000.
If you need a nice pro camera, lens, flash let me know. If you want to do weddings, family reunions, holiday celebrations. I have a perfect set-up for you or can go through the ins-outs of such a business.
