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.

Well done! How was it? What the job was about if I can ask? :)

Had a friend reach out and want gender reveal photos. I only do sports, wildlife, landscape and I’m fairly new. I let them know I don’t do anything like what they are asking for, but would gladly come over and press the button for free, see what we get. They insisted on paying, I absolutely refused, but said, “if you like the photos you get after processing and you want to tip me, go right ahead, but I’m just doing it out of friendship and for the experience”. As it stands right now, it’s just another expensive hobby for me.

I provided some great photos, but got no tip, so I still have yet to make money with my camera, haha! Just thought I’d share.

Same! I finally started printing my work (wildlife photography) bc I am able to hang them up at the cafe I work at and I’ve already sold 6 pieces! The most nerve racking thing tho is actually pricing my stuff as it’s printed on either aluminum or canvas lol
