I just happend to come across this forum searching the net on freelance Phototgraphy and thought it could be some use to me.
Im 19 years old and have be photographing for five years now. i took a lot of my fellow classmates seinor Portraits throughout my highschool days. Id say around twenty or so. and it really wasent just limited to my high school. There is a school for troubled teens in the area that needed to have some one come to campus to take their portraits so my multimeda Teacher took up the job but she needed some assentence. She asked for my help multpual times. Thats not the only thing that she had me help her with. I was also and aide to her for adult photography classes an after school job. i did three differnent courses. but it had to come to an end because the school didnt want to pay me any more because i graduated. Then my teacher asked me if i wanted to do a wedding. i said sure. Now to date i have done two weddings that turned out awesome. but now i dont have anytime to get out and photograph i work a full time job thats so boring it drains me so when i go home all i want to do is eat and go to bed! The good thing about my job is that i get to sell my photographs well my photocards. I would like to sell my prints but my job dont pay that well to get the big prints. It takes me a while to save the money for that. So i geuss what im trying to get at is that does anyone know where i should go from here? how do i get magazines to look at my work? big compines? or even the big timers like runway photographers that want to take to a kid under their wing?
