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’ve shot as a hobby for most of my life, it was only recently I thought of publicizing my work, or maybe trying to make a little dough on the side if possible. Lo and behold a few weeks back my wife’s company hired me as their event photographer and flew me out to San Fran to shoot the event at one of Google’s event spaces. I did the gig and had a blast the entire time. The entire process felt like I was finally where I wanted to be and I was doing something I enjoy that I independently discovered I enjoy(without influence from family, friends, society, etc.). Some of the pics didn’t turn out half bad either :)

My question is, is where do I go from here? I live in a decent sized city in Florida, so I imagine there is some potential, and my schedule is pretty open, so I can travel if need be. I feel naive and uninitiated, with a good dose of imposter syndrome, so I’m wondering if there is anyone willing to share their journey, or any relevant advice on entering the field.

Thanks in advance :)
