I think the Adobe Photography plan for €9.99 is a pretty good deal. It’s Capture One that bugs me for constantly price gouging and adding useless features while slacking on making pro features reliable.

The first 10 concerts I did of course for free to build my portfolio but now I reached the point where I want to get real jobs and some respect for my work.

I’ve heard this so many times and I shake my head every time.

Oh you shot a whole TEN concerts to build your portfolio and now you want money and respect?

And if you don’t start getting some jobs soon you will whinge on the internet that people are ‘gatekeeping’?

You probably have no idea how entitled, lazy, and frankly detached from reality that sounds.

Kids these days…

There’s a series of links in the sidebar for agencies, galleries, book publishers, etc.

Start there.

I haven't done this myself in a while so I'd have to google to see which ones currently work best.

I never watermarked an image in my life, and I’ve been shooting professionally for over a decade. I’ve also seen the websites of thousands of other professionals and literally nobody I take seriously watermarks their images. The only exception are one or two agency or gallery sites I follow.

Rather than watermarks, use search tools to periodically check to see if your images pop up somewhere. If they do, get paid.

Both. Just don’t make the mistake of thinking a ‘style’ is a particular postproduction technique or lighting choice.

I’ve been a professional photographer for over a decade, travelled the world, shot covers for major magazines, international advertising campaigns… Still don’t feel like I’ve made it.

As everyone here has said, please stop listening to Andrew Tate (and anyone even remotely like him).

These guys will NOT help you become rich, or successful, or confident around women.

What they will do is make you frustrated, materialistic, misogynistic, scared, misinformed, and angry and overall turn you into a shitty person.

I'm serious, they will poison your mind in ways you cannot comprehend. Get out while you can and find some positive influences instead.
