How do I get paid photography work?

And in the case of the Beatles, yes they might have clocked up those hours in performing but their genius in songwriting came from somewhere else .

I am sure the second picture (guy in the blue shirt) is a great guy but he doesn't quite scream to models - Hey, pay me to help you build your portfolio! Actually I had to look twice, I thought that was my cousin! Jan 27 13 01:25 pm Link Photo Bill wrote: How are you able to determine someones talent by how they look? I would use someone portfolio, but no one should be doing that here since this is not the critique section.

Anyway, some people work their way up the ladder through hard work, skill and determination while others are just arse lickers.. Jan 27 13 10:38 pm Link i would edit that as follows: the unique limitations you were born with notwithstanding, you may be able to achieve great things through hard work and a positive attitude. some doors are closed from birth and will always be closed. no 5'-3" chick is going to be a VS model unless the world turns upside down. however a guy with metal legs did get to run in the olympics. a guy with a golf cart did get to compete in pro tournaments. i would tell my kids try hard but be realistic about your chances and maybe have a plan B or plan C, especially if they aren't hot or at least charismatic.

People are not going to give you money just because you tell them, "I am good and worth the $500 to take your pictures."; they'll need proof.

To do that you need to search your local area and find models looking for TF work. Or you could hire and pay an experienced model or two. IMO if they are available to you, use them! Print out business cards and hand them out to random people. Vista print has a sample pack you can get for free. Judging off your MM port, you're going to have to work for free for awhile until you craft your skill. Shoot anybody and anything. Even if they aren't a model! That will help spread your name, and it's practice. Jan 30 13 10:12 am Link |
