My need and situation
I am a 19 year old aspiring professional photographer who is currently partnered with the John McEnroe Tennis Academy, and Neighborhood Opportunity Network ("NeON") Photography. I am the oldest of 7 and aim for greatness to set the best example possible.
My goals are to heighten my skills as a photographer and to have my own business in order to provide others with my services.
In order to provide the best services possible, I will need my own camera. Preferably, a Canon 80D to provide high quality work.
Even though I have a camera available for work purposes, I do not have my own in order to start my own business, sharpen my skills and hone my craft.
