sweetness34 142 Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks a bunch guys, I actually am currently using a six year old canon. In its day it was awesome, but now I'm in serious need of an upgrade. I plan to hopefully sell prints off my website and put some money towards a new camera. The lovely lady is my girlfriend of almost a year and half Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KiLaSix9+ 398 Posted November 22, 2011 Great shots and I love the website. Did you design it yourself or had someone do it for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sweetness34 142 Posted November 23, 2011 Great shots and I love the website. Did you design it yourself or had someone do it for you? I used a theme for Wordpress that I customized. I simply don't have the time to design and code the whole thing myself. Plus it wouldn't be as good as using a pro theme. I got it from elegantthemes.com, you pay like $30 a year and have unlimited access to hundreds of themes, plus they give you tons of support. I used another of the themes on another site I built a few weeks ago, wocinternational.org Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Patriots2994 43 Posted November 24, 2011 Photographers can make easy money by taking shots at parties and other events. You should advertise your site to people you know and in your town, put up some prices and info on your site, and see if anyone will hire you. It's not an awful job--you get to go to parties and events, have fun and eat food, and take pictures. It's not the best use of your talents but I know it's a quick way to make money.

I hear ya, right now it's impossible because of football season...but it is a definite possibility for the off season. That's how a lot of landscape photographers make their money, because there isn't much money in landscape photography. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
