self publishing

Progressively, photographers who choose to self-publish are taking it to the next level. They’re turning one-time hits into more permanent structures that release works by other artists. Many have chosen this avenue as a way to snub the major publishers who are increasingly asking their authors to bring not only a great body of work, but also a check.

their are some goo website that you can use to publish your own book one that comes to mind is Blurb 

http://www.blurb.co.uk/

blurb is a website were you can publish your own books, you can also sell you books you have your own book selling page were people can see what you have published. The website is easy and makes creating your own photography book simply you do need to down loads adobe in-design.

Business plane / Mock Invoice

An invoice is a list of goods sent or services provided, with a statement of the sum due for these. With photography if you are a are working for yourself then you would have to calculate your own cost. for example as I am a documentary photographer I will need:

Equipment which is camera, lenses,tripod, laptop and accessories
Insurance
Travel which may include hotels
Marketing which includes website, domain and business cards

I was asked to create my own invoice that I would give to a customer. The image below is of a blank copy of my invoice
