Photographer? Dude you could make a killing!
Check it out.
I'm sure you have a network of people. Some of them are getting married, some want photos for their shitty music album. So you market these folk and provide the service. Since you're new, start cheap.
Maybe $30-$50 a shoot. Yeah the price sucks for you but that's not the point. You want to build a solid portfolio displaying your skils for more higher end clients.
After you make that portfolio, create a website and raise the price a little bit.
Hope this helps!
