[QUOTE="wud, post: 233058, member: 13578"] I started with dog photography, there is a small market for this here. I am best at doing a series with the dog or portraits. I think you should try finding a kid to do portraits, both cute/nice portraits but also kid playing/laughing etc. My best advice: people love pictures which really gets close to the subject - that's what most don't do them self when using a point and shoot or phone camera. I am suggesting kids, because they are so much easier than adults. So many "rules" for posing an adult and many want you to tell them how. Do you use Facebook? Make a page there. Free and easy. Directly contact with costumers. I also have a website but I'm horrible at updating it. I think a lot of my jobs are mouth to mouth in that way that when I do a shoot, I place my logo on it and then people see their friends/friends dog looking good, and want it them self. I got a wedding! after they saw the images of a dog series. I think they went to my site and saw the people images too. Another thing is selling pictures of landscape, sunsets, street photography and so on. I'm just starting and haven't sold anything yet, it's seems pretty difficult. Thought about selling for firm decorations (you know, in the waiting room etc) but don't think I do any stuff that is suited for this. An easy portfolio are a website. Then you can print your best stuff for showing if you go directly to someone. Wishing you all the best of luck! Breaks my heart to hear your worries for the future. Kids pictures sell, every mom/dad wants images of them, and kids are so much fun to do :) Sent from my iPhone using [URL=http://tapatalk.com/m?id=1]Tapatalk[/URL] [/QUOTE]
