Hi! I am NOT a pro photographer, but I have read some about it. Whenever you start shopping, be prepared to spend a lot of money 🙁 For accessories you need to start with a good tripod, (you might need to do some research as to what kind) but you need to expect to pay at least 100.00 bucks for it. You also need an off-camera flash. B&H photo is a good place to find stuff like that 🙂 . I am not aware to what extent you want to take your pro photography, but if you have a studio, You are probably going to need some strobe lights and softboxes for the lights. Unless you want to start with just environmental shots, you probably need to get a seamless background (and a stand to hold it up). And again I am not a pro photographer, but I thought I would chip in with the stuff I’ve read about. 🙂 There is a lot of stuff involved, and the list goes on. I might not be telling you the correct stuff to start out with, but those are good things to have! 🙂
