PROJECT PROFILE ON PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO
Introduction:
It has become a necessity for getting admission in schools & colleges to ration
cards, for passports and applications for different jobs required. Moreover, for
savouring the memories of ceremonies like marriages, birth day parties, etc,
photography is necessarily done. Besides this, for identity cards of various
institutions, application for bank loan and selling/purchasing and registering
vehicles and property also compulsorily require photograph.
Market:
The no. of school/college going students are increasing day by day and the
living styles are also increasing day by day. Therefore, photography has a wide
scope and would only increase in future.
Manufacturing Process:
The photographer generally takes photograph for passport size for black &
white, colour at the studio and even for other sizes also. The photographer will
accept for covering photography of functions, etc outside the studio also.
In the case of black & white photos, the photographer will develop and print the
copies at the studio itself. The photographer generally print the photos by using
the chemicals in the studio itself. There is no need for any printing machine. In
the case of colour photos, the photographer will take photograph in the studio
and also attend outside parties, then he will give to colour labs for developing
and printing of the photos at concessional rates.
