Default Advice for Photography services

Hi Bros, i need to ask u guys, how do i offer photography services even though i'm not too experience? I have been doing school events for 2 years now and I'm think of doing some photography services yet i'm not sure how to go about doing it....Do i do like an album or something and have it sold to the customer? What equipment do i need that are essential?
Any contract to be signed? Payment wise?
Really need your help here cause i really have no idea how to start.....

Currently using a Canon EOS 400D with 70-300 sigma DG marco Lens and Kit I Lens.

Thz...

You are not ready to provide any form of photography services...... yet. My advise is to start off as an intern or assistant to a working photographer.

Look in the services section of the classifieds. From time to time, a studio or photographer looks for assistants or interns.

You could also think of drafting a short introductory letter and approach all the different studios/photographers. It would be a long-shot, but you might get lucky.

Or you could put up a thread offering your services. Try to list down all the good points/advantages you can offer.

Because having a young and inexperienced photographer in tow is more often than not a liability, you have to be really convincing, and how you follow up and commit/dedicate yourself to a task, even if it doesn't pay a cent, will immediately reveal how matured/responsible and reliable you might be, and word spreads around.

All the best in your adventure.
