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.

How to photographer (alien.top)

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?

I wish you would've asked this earlier so people could tell you NOT to study photography and instead study something business or marketing related, which would've been a hundred times more useful to get into the photography scene.

That degree will be worthless. So I hope you at least learned the basics (and more) of photography and camera's. And perhaps you should've already learned that you cannot just 'sell photos'.

Selling photos (as in stock photos, prints, etc.) is absolutely impossible these days. If you want to make money with photography you need to focus on commissioned work. You need to get hired by people or companies. If you want to make GOOD money with photography you need to focus on certain subjects only becuase the others are extremely saturated and you'll have a hard time making any money with those.
