Becoming a photographer requires passion, good equipment and a good eye for what makes a picture look great if you have all of those things you can make good money being a part time photographer.
Here are some pro's and con's of starting your own part time photography business...
Pro's -Doing something you love.
If you love photography then what could be better than getting paid to do it.
That is the best part for many photographers.
