[QUOTE="markmullen, post: 4988, member: 394"] It is possible to make a living, but landscapes is a very very tough market to make money out of. I had a gallery within the gallery of one of the UK's top, 1 or 2 landscape photographer's, he confided in me that he made more as a landlord renting out gallery space to other artists than he did out of landscape photography. To put it in perspective this chap is a household name in the landscape world. I've done weddings, far too much like hard work. I've worked commercial and architectural photography too, both as a freelance and as a camera assistant with another pro when I was much younger, I found this far more interesting than weddings but I ended up leaving photography to be a part time profession, if I pay for lenses and kit then I'm happy, I can go out with a camera when I want, not feel compelled to because the studio rent is due, or because utilities are coming up payable. Just my 2p worth, don't spoil your enjoyment of something you enjoy by making a living out of it, it changes things rapidly. [/QUOTE]
