I'm a student at the University of Southern Mississippi in Hattiesburg, MS. I've taken up LF photography after spending years shooting for newspapers (since I was 15). My problem is, I want to start doing some studio photography but no one around here seems to rent studio space. I'm not interested in portraiture, but portrait photographers who own studios seem put off I'm not interested in their work and refuse to even discuss the idea of me renting some space to take pictures. I've tried to tell them I won't be doing anything to compete with them but they won't listen. Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do? I really don't have a lot of money, being a full time college student, so renting a room by the month is out of the question. I'm just really disapointed to come up against this brick wall so quickly in my LF career. Thanks for any help you guys can give.
