[QUOTE="lightmuncher, post: 4915, member: 300"] We talked about this earlier in the year, Jack. You have to assess different ways that allow you as a photographer to sell your images. The digital world has made thousands of excellent photographers, as now more than ever, people can edit and do magic on images like never before. Yes, weddings, portraits have always been the bread and butter of the photographers. I can give a list here of what a wedding photographer should do in order for you to work with the weddings. How you follow the bride and groom, when to take the initiative to control a situation, etc. Its a saturated market that is for sure. I see amazing images from people who put themselves out and get up at dawn, camp on mountain tops, and sell their images through shootproof, shutterstock and other places. You have to understand the market to whom you are selling to. What is your niche? So go for the bread and butter, but also sell through independent art shops, get an exhibition in a library or other public venue. People will buy GOOD impressive images, they like to have beautiful images on their walls. Go around the estate agents, there are many independent estate agents who have no damn idea how to take a quality image, or drone views. We paid for a drone to take pics of our house and land through an estate agent. They are looking at how to make videos now and tell us that they will do one of our house and land on top of all the other stuff. Who else needs a photographer? I have no idea, but I am sure there must be other ways to sell. Do put your pics up though on these selling sites, you never know. You have to think outside that box to allow you to create work for yourself. Anyone else any ideas? [/QUOTE]
