Guys, all i was askin for is a way to get some cash to get some new equipment to start taking photographs without taking a huge risk by getting a bank loan. As I haven’t been employed as a photographer before i am not sure if the earning I make will pay for the equipment I need. I want to offer great quality images so i need the better equipment.

The quote ” I’m not prepared to just get myself in debt to buy better cameras and lenses ” was meant as a response to Brian after i felt that he was suggesting that i want a better camera so that I will (naively) think that i will be a better photographer. Although I might have misinterpreted it.

So Tmmy and John, i dont know what you are talking about when you say i want to take all the risks with other peoples money. I enquired about government funding and bank loans which i think is normal when somebody searches for money to try and better their lives and do something that they want to do. I said that I fear getting a bank loan and failing to pay it back, so just asked for another safer option. If i dont have the money and dont forsee myself managing to save such amounts, please tell me, where else should I look?

Thanks for the replies everybody. Okay it seems that it is how I expected. Applying for this type of thing is a long process full of paper work and paper work so I will look into it more here then. But I work at the moment and guess that it would be difficult for me to receive such benefits to start a business when not in such financial difficulty. So i will do some research and see from there.

Also Brian, I’m not sure what you are getting at. If you are saying I should just use the equipment that I have at the moment and buy new gear with my earnings, I’m not prepared to do that because i want to offer top quality images and not be restricted by my equipments capabilities. I’ve had a d80 for over 3 years now and know its limitations in bad light, how good high iso looks as well as the lens that I use so I’m not prepared to just get myself in debt to buy better cameras and lenses thinking that I will automatically turn into a better photographer :)

Cheers!
