Imibuzo emi-3 yokuzibuza yona ngaphambi kokuqalisa ishishini lokufota

Kule mihla uninzi lwethu luneekhamera ezintle. Ihlala ilinga njalo qala ishishini lokufota. Kuninzi ukungakhathali kumzi mveliso nabantu abaya kukuxelela ukuba awukwazi / akufuneki ukwenze. Ndicinga ukuba kuhlala kulungile ukulandela amaphupha akho, kodwa ukuba ucinga ukwenza njalo, mamela ibali lam kuqala…

Kwiminyaka emihlanu edlulileyo ndatyala imali kwiCanon Rebel. Ndandineminyaka emibini ubudala kunye nosana olutsha kraca. Leyo khamera yayingumhlobo wam osenyongweni. Akuzange kuthathe xesha lide kwaye ndiye ndaqala ukufumana izicelo kwabanye zokubafota nabo. Ndonwabile kwaye ngokuqinisekileyo ndinomdla wokuvuma. Inyathelo lam elilandelayo yayikukuqala ishishini lokufota. Ndiye ndangena kwi-Intanethi (bonke abantwana abapholileyo bebesenza loo nto). Ndenze iblogi, ndaqhwaba "uKristin Wilkerson Photography" ngapha nangapha phezulu ndicofa kude. Ibali lam malunga nohambo lwam lokuqala ukuya ukuba ngumfoti oqeqeshiweyo Ingavakala iqhelekile kuba uninzi luyayithatha le ndlela, ngelixa abanye abafoti bayayidelela.

Ndilapha ukukuxelela ukuba yayingumbono ombi, umbono olubi ngokwenene ukuqala ishishini lokufota ngokukhawuleza.

Ngelixa imifanekiso yam yayithetha lukhulu kum kwaye abanye babonakala beyithanda, andifanelekanga okanye ndikulungele ukuzibeka phaya njenge umntu ozibiza ngokuba ngumfoti. Uxinzelelo lokuhlonipha izicelo zento endiyibiza ngokuba "ngabathengi" yayifunxa ubomi kwinto eyake yandizisela uvuyo olukhulu. Akuzange kuthathe xesha lide kum uyeke ishishini (elingazange libe lishishini). Endaweni yokuba ndithathe iklasi ukundinceda ndisebenzise kakuhle ikhamera yam, ndifunde ngokungathi ndiphambene, kwaye ndazama ukudubula kuzo zonke iintlobo zeemeko zokukhanyisa.

Masiqhubele phambili iminyaka emi-4. Uthando lwam lokufota lwalukhulile kwaye ke nolwazi lwam kunye nokuqonda kwam. Ndandinalo nexesha elininzi lokutyala imali kum. Ibivakala njengexesha elifanelekileyo lokuqala ishishini lam nasemva kokuvavanya iinjongo zam zobomi, izithintelo zexesha lam, kunye nemingcipheko yam ndigqibe kwelokuba ndiqhubele phambili. Ndisekwinqanaba lokuqala kodwa kuba ndithathe ixesha lokufunda ngamashishini kunye nokufota ndinethemba ngekamva.

Ndabelana nawe ngeli bali kuba uninzi lwethu olonwabelayo ukufota lufikelela kwinqanaba apho sizibuza khona ukuba "Ngaba kufuneka ndiqale ishishini lokufota?" Ucinga ukuba uqinisekile ngokufota kwakho kwaye uzive ukuba ungaphatha uninzi lweemeko "ezinxulumene nefoto" eziphoselwe kuwe, Nazi izinto ezimbalwa ekufuneka uziqwalasele ngaphambi kokuba ungene.

1. Ngaba ndikulungele ukuthatha ixesha nemali ukubhalisela ilayisensi yeshishini, ukuhlawula irhafu yokuthengisa kunye nerhafu yengeniso yomntu?  Ukuba ukugcwalisa irhafu kunye nokubhaliswa ayisiyonto uzimisele ukuyenza ke ukubonelela ngeenkonzo zakho ngemali ayisiyongcamango ilungileyo.
2. Ngaba ndinalo ixesha elifunekayo lokugcina imali ekwenzeni abathengi bonwabe? Ayisiyo kuthatha nje imifanekiso kubo. Kuya kufuneka ukwazi ukuphendula ii-imeyile kwaye unike abathengi ingqalelo ebafaneleyo. Kuya kufuneka ukwazi ukuthatha ukugxekwa kubaxhasi kwaye ukuba awukwazi emva koko uya kuba nexesha elinzima lokulawula ishishini.
3. Ngaba ukuguqula isipho sam sokufota sibe ngumsebenzi okufunxa ubumnandi?  Kum iminyaka emi-5 eyadlulayo impendulo yalonto nguewe. Ngenxa yokuba ndandisele ndixakekile uxinzelelo olongezelelekileyo lwamaxesha amisiweyo kwaye ndikholisa abanye lonakalisa uvuyo. Kulungile ukugcina isipho sakho njengomsebenzi wokuzonwabisa okanye ulinde de sizive silungile.

Kungenxa yokuba uyakuthanda ukufota kwaye utyale imali kwizixhobo oko akuthethi ukuba wena baye ukuba photographer yobungcali. Kodwa oko akuthethi ukuba nawe awunakuba njalo. Akukho ntloni kuyo ukuba ngumntu othanda ukuzonwabisa kwaye akukho ntloni ukuguqula italente yakho ibe likhondo lomsebenzi. Yenza into ekonwabisa kodwa emva kweempazamo zam ndingacebisa ukuba ndiyenze ngokufanelekileyo.
