A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I'm a 14-Year-Old Car Photographer, can you give me some criticism on my photos, and advice on making money as a photographer. Thanks (alien.top)

Hi, I'm a Car Photographer, and I've done quite a few shoots in the past, some free some paid, with some amazing cars, for example I shot a lamborghini tour in the Yorkshire dales and an M5 & X7 for a car dealership. I've probably made about £300 in total from photography. I've emailed about 10-15 Companies around me asking if they would be interested in my photography, social media management & developing videography skills, with quite professional sounding emails. I've not told any of the company's the price or the fact I'm 14, but haven't got any responses at all even though I genuinely think I could help companies- I'm stuck on what to do. Any advice is appreciated or critique on my photos. I have a free photoshoot this Sunday of a Porsche 356, as I know the owner quite well (who also has a 992 GT3) but nothing after. Thanks so much

Wouldn’t the owner of the car have the insurance though?

A photographer shooting expensive (or otherwise) would very much need to carry a general liability policy. What if photog bumps camera into the side of a $250k Porsche and does $10k in damage? Or more.

Ok that’s fair. I thought you meant driving it.
