Interior Design
Interior design is one of the growth areas of the new millennium. With the high cost of buying and selling property, more and more people are deciding to redecorate or re-model their homes instead.
Many people decide to tackle the work themselves, but around one in seven gets help from an interior designer. In addition, a growing number of businesses want their premises to be given the ‘designer touch’. All this adds up to good news for people with the aptitude and skills to become freelance interior designers.
The work of an interior designer generally begins with a meeting to discuss the client’s requirements and measure and assess the space available. The designer then spends some time developing a design which incorporates such elements as color scheme, carpets, curtains, textiles, blinds, shelving, paint finishes, furniture, loose covers, and so on.
He or she expresses these ideas to the client in the form of plans and sketches. Once approval has been obtained, the designer may then supervise the implementation of the design, engaging painters and decorators, carpet-fitters, builders and other craftsmen as required.
Designers may also perform some of the actual physical work themselves.
Photography
There are two sorts of photography for money. The first is where you are commissioned to produce prints of your work which you sell to the people in the pictures or the owners of the items portrayed.
The subjects could be wedding pictures, studio portraits, or even photographs of people’s houses, cars or animals. This type of photography is known as social photography.
The other sort of photography is where your work ends up in newspapers, magazines, on the internet, or perhaps as posters or postcards. Newspapers generally require black-and-white prints, whilst most magazine and other publishers prefer color transparencies (or, increasingly these days, digital images).
What you sell is the right to reproduce the picture, not the ownership of the picture itself, which remains yours. You can sell this right for any given picture many times over.
Whichever type of photography most appeals to you, it is best to have a specialty. This is partly because you will learn what sort of pictures sell best and how to take them, and partly because most people, whether private individuals or professional editors, prefer to use a specialist photographer.
