  1. You could start out by shooting and curating best 10 to 15 of your work which you can use in the online portfolio as most of the client are now searching online. There are multiple options like Pixpa, Squarespace and Format which can help you to build an online portfolio.
  2. First of all, you need to understand the whole game, who's the best player in it, how they are doing it! My suggestion would be to start out by getting a job as an intern or assistant to a professional wedding photographer. The main idea is to get a hand full of experience that no university or school can teach. Build your portfolio while interning, some of the good portfolio platforms are Pixpa or format, exclusively for photographers. Build a good network, a good word of mouth marketing will surely help you to attract the potential client.
  3. You could use Pixpa, they've client gallery options and also, you can watermark your images. Hope this will help.
  4. Thanks for the list Mike! Pixpa seems to be a perfect platform for my photography website.
  5. My question to you is: are you into coding? How will you manage to build your website and then upload low resolution images first and once if the client purchases, upload again a high quality image? Not sure but this looks like a tedious process. Go with a decent website builder that automates this process. There are hundreds of platforms out there that'll do the job for you. You just have to upload your original size images and they automatically crop it to show on your website. Once the client makes payment, he gets the link to the original file. I'm already doing this with Pixpa, and the process is smooth. Just google up client proofing platforms and you'll come across plenty of them. All the best!
  6. The D3400 with 18-55 kit lens would be the best option while starting out. Since you're a beginner, you have a lot to learn about exposure, techniques and strategies. The D3400 in my opinion would be the best one to learn ins and outs of photography. It even has a Menu mode that'll help you take pictures according to the environment. Start taking online tutorials and courses and shift to manual mode as soon as possible.
  7. 18-55 is and will always be the best lens for beginners. You're kit lens is much more capable of taking pictures than you think it is. If you're looking at landscapes, the 18mm will work in 90% of the locations. Reconsider your decision of buying a wide angle lens and instead buy a steady tripod, ND filter , a shutter remote and learn the ins and outs of photography. Consider taking online free tutorials and courses that'll help you get that vision. You may even find free courses on Landscape photography. Last, go out and practice a lot. Once you start feeling your camera or lens lack something, then plan on updating your gear Good luck!
