I’m interested in wildlife and landscape photography and was wondering where I can perhaps sell my photography.

I’ve seen online websites that take a commission where one can sell photographs but they are royalty-free.

Any advice would be much appreciated.

I’m a photography student, and I’ve just bought a flash kit. The ones at our uni are always broken or booked out and I live an hr and a half away, so I just snapped and bought one. Alas. I couldn’t afford a battery for the kit too… So I’m a little restricted. The main problem is, I was doing the maths and I just don’t think I can afford to keep the kit unless I can find a way for it to start paying for itself. I’m going to sell one of my lenses in the mean time. But… yeah. It needs to make some money.

I lack confidence to put myself out there for big jobs, but I wondered what ideas people have for smaller jobs that a student such as myself could undertake. Maybe there’s a market niche I’m unaware of. Or novel ideas, like renting the kit out (of course I’d have to go with the kit, since i wouldn’t trust anyone with it… kit rental + free assistant lets say).
I’m hoping as I progress I’ll gain more confidence, but right now. I’m thinking basic shoots, that a monkey… I mean… a student like me. Could handle.

I do have an online stock photography account, but I’m not really sure what would be be a good idea to photograph for that. All thoughts welcome.

Thanks. Be nice =]

So, I’m a photographer who’s just starting out. Although, I’ve been taking photos for my children, friends, and family members for a while now. This has been something in the making for a while now. I wanted to take my time and not be just another person with a digital camera. I’m finally ready to spread my wings! I have pretty all the equipment I need known to man. Right now, things are pretty tight for us as far as marketing my services, getting materials printed, having signs made, online advertising, local paper, etc.

I want to go after family and pets. Especially pet lovers! I need ideas of how I can advertise my services on a shoestring budget? I know it takes money to make money. Especially when looking for qualified candidates that are looking to hand me their money. Any creative ideas? At least to get a couple of paid sessions to help fund before the holiday progresses.
I realize you can be the best carpenter there is but if you are not advertising your services no one can find you. Same for having a website. You can have a website but if you’re not advertising to the right group of folk..they are unable to find your site. Please help! Thanks!

What is an easy, fast, cheap (preferably free) way to get my photography business moving? Really, all I’m looking to do right now is get noticed, get a few jobs, and build my client base.. oh, and build my portfolio (an ongoing expedition).

Here’s some more info on the type of photography I do if anyone has any specific ideas for how to get started and be successful:
I’m actually still in college (Marketing and Management major).. I’m open to suggestions on taking photography classes. Online, also, even though I’m still a little iffy about that.

I do concert photography, landscape, and possibly some wedding portraits (I have a friend that wants me to photograph her wedding, so we’ll see how that works out)

My sister does portraits (helping models develop their portfolios)

So yes, I need lots and lots of advice on this because I’m going crazy!

I really love taking pictures. If it was up do me i would spend all day taking pictures, building motorcycles and playing with my kids. BUT, i live in the real world. I want a career change (im a mechanic now). I looked into going to college(online preferably) for a photography degree, but ive read so many negative reviews (with out coming across many positive ones) of online art schools and how expensive they are , it made my head spin.So here is my question : what is the best way to learn photography and actually be able to make money at it?
