Getting Started

Hey All,

So this is my first blog, let me know how I do! As I mentioned in my about me, I am a photo major at SUNY in New Paltz, just an hour and a half away from the city. I am originally from Brooklyn, New York, but living in New Paltz to study. I have been studying and practicing photography for over 7 years now. Along with photography, I study public relations and Italian. Ultimately, with my 3 degrees, I would like to pursue a career in commercial photography, especially for fashion, portraiture and travel. As of right now, I am studying, but trying to build my own business in photo- which is not easy! As I started browsing the web for advice from NYC commercial photographers, I found it difficult to get responses from them. I guess they didn't lie when they said that it is a competitive business. And so, for now, I am learning, building a portfolio, and of course enjoying my college years all during the recession!
