Hi! I'm an advanced amateur who's been doing things for free for some time and I'm contemplating stepping gingerly into selling some of my work. I have not yet decided how... maybe setting up a small studio, maybe microstock, maybe occasional gigs, et. While I certaintly plan on keeping my day job (so I can afford the big toys), I want to think carefuly before proceeding on this path.

I realize that there are definitely tax implications (hobby, business, etc.) and probably insurance implications....

So I was wondering if anyone would be willing to share how they have organized their photography business. Is it a sole propritorship, a partnership, or corporation? Do you treat it as a hobby?

What am I missing?

Thanks!

Your best bet would be to sit down with an accountant to determine what works best for you. Every business is different, laws and tax codes are different.
