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 make a living off photography? (alien.top)

Hello guys hope you all are doing well.

I am interested in photography for around 4 years now and started to take pics around 3 years ago. I like how I feel when I get a satisfying shot through hard work in capturing and editing.

People have praised me for my work and I too can feel that I'm somewhat talented though I do feel I gav a lot to learn in terms of editing and advanced framing techniques.

My work can be found on "@morningdewseveningskies" on Instagram and also on my profile here on reddit if you anyone want to see it.

I'm a final year college student who isn't interested in his degree / domain.

Is it possible to make a good living out of this hobby / passion? Are there any photographers with advice?

Would love to hear your thoughts guys, thank you!

Looking at your IG does not give me a clear idea of what kind of photography I can get you to shoot for. Because in general, you have good shots, but you also post not so good shots. Such as the set with the leaves in golden hour. The last few shots don't conform to the theme.

However, I like your set with the steam because all shots look stable. The Koyambedu market set is good, it has a potential to be used as a story or a feature.

For now, you can reach out to friends, businesses, or local papers to do feature stories. You can also present ideas and see if they are up for it.
