I'm telling you now, don't waste your time and money on photography.

It's not for you.

Look, not to be an egotistical prick, but I was selling my photos for $100+ dollars within a couple months of starting photography.

To be honest, yes, some people do just have a natural talent for photography right off the bat.

Photography talent ? Business skills.

Although to be a professional photographer making money you need a bit of both.

This one looks great, don't let tards get you down. Just keep working on your skillz, you'll get better.

Yes except I wasn't even trying to sell them initially, I had a couple people make offers without me even bringing up the subject.

After that I moved on to photography shows which is where the real money started flowing in.

This means fuck all in regards to photography.
It means you know people and have good social/business skills.
Also, show those photos you sold for 100 bucks to back that up. Otherwise, major failget.

>>125914
True.
There's some amazing photographers out there not making a cent. And crappy ass wedding/studio/portrait photographers making shitloads.
If you want to make money as a photographer, skill in photography isn't the most important element by far.. it's the ability to market yourself and most importantly, to know your market and target group.

More to the point, a lot of the greats had to study photography and practice to hell and back to get so good. Amazing photographers who make no money is irrelevant, especially if it's true that people just offered. But talent doesn't necessarily mean that you'll excell. And having no immediate talent doesn't mean you can't do well, but it does mean you have to dedicate yourself that much more, and be even more critical of your own work. Telling this guy to just give up is stupid, especially since we don't know his intentions, whether it's just for his own enjoyment or not. But telling him to just give up doesn't do shit.

Just because you sold that shot doesn't make you a better man.

If you were the same fuck who said
>>125851
you need to gtfo

like many other people said in your photo thread. "these shots win for location, not for skill"
i don't agree completely with them, since you did show skill... but cookie doesn't have access do the kind of scenery you do.

I'm not the same one, relax. I was just making the point that *some* people do just pick it up naturally.
>> beethy !HJGkSBB3Ao
>>125951
ahh, no worries then.
yea that comment didnt seem like you, you're nicer
haha

i get that some people pick it up rather well.. (like those damn 13 year old kids on dA and flickr with epic photos)
but some have different motives/reasons.

i think anyone should keep doing what they enjoy
and i believe if you see OP's new shots 1 year from now there will be a drastic difference.
