Beginners who want to make a career through the use of their camera find countless options in a city like Jaipur, where businesses, fashion, weddings, and culture are all expanding. However, the most important query is: how  one start to make money as a photographer?

I, Adarsh Nareda, a nine-year veteran commercial and fashion photographer from Jaipur, will discuss in this blog how novices can enter the field and begin earning money.

1. Start with Small Paid Gigs
