Once I have declared BR can I work either Full or Part time as self employed. Type of work would be photographer..........Weddings on a budget and family lifestyle portraiture. I have experience in this, although my pro gear has been sold, but have mates who will lend me gear. The only trouble is PL and indemity insurance would not be afforded, hence the reason I would aim at a budget market, probaly people hard-up like me who can't afford an established pro.
There's nothing to stop you doing that, and I think you would do very well, especially in the budget wedding sector as wedding photography is stupidly expensive.
