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.

Hey I've just finished my last year in photography in highschool. I enjoy taking photos and stuff and was wondering places where people share there photos (maybe even how one would go about starting a way to sell photos and the different options) other than the obvious stuff like Instagram and the like?

Use the obvious stuff. If the goal of sharing is people seeing your photos, the more obvious the better I figure..

As for selling, think of what anyone you know might actually buy. The only photos anyone I know has actually bought are photos of their children or themselves during their wedding.

Even with famous or professional photographers, normal people don't buy their photos directly, companies do. We buy stuff that happens to have their photo on it or were advertised with those photos. Try taking photos for a local diner's menu or call local website developers and see if they need a photograher to take photos of their client's business for a website?
