So in relation to this $500/cheap client talk: I'm in a situation where I'm just starting out, but due to where I live there isn't much, if any, opportunity to be a second shooter to build up my chops. I feel I'm a fairly competent photographer but haven't ever done a wedding - so I'm certainly not to a point where I can feel comfortable charging $2000 or maybe even $200 for a shoot. Is it going to be a bad idea to do some free/very cheap weddings to build up a portfolio? I was thinking of doing 2 or 3 for just enough to cover some expenses and a couple camera items like extra batteries and a softbox... but the last few posts have me thinking I'm going to enter a world of pain by doing so. Although it's not really my preferred option, I had also considered contacting some photographers in Reno which is about a 4-5 hour drive away and maybe shooting alongside them. I'd prefer this for the learning experience but gas is expensive and so is taking the time off to drive across the state, pay for food, etc. Maybe a combination of both?
