Bit of help/advice?

[Hellom0t0]

Basicly, I cant get a job (nobody wants a 14 year old, really) and I was thinking about selling some prints!
Ok, so I would have to shoot something worthy of selling, which I have yet to do, but if I do manage to shoot something good...

1. Am I too young?
2. How would I sell it (Ebay, car boots... ect)

Your age isn't important if you're selling images, but will be if you're looking for a job. IMHO The way to sell prints is to do the type of photography you love to the top standard you can, so long as it has value to someone. Since everyone has digital cameras these days you have to do something they can't or don't know how to do, or go somewhere they don't have access to. It's a tough way to make money.

I haven't made a dime on my photography, so understand that with my comments.

If you do not mind taking portraits and you belong to a church or any organization you may want to volunteer to do pictures for the group for some event coming up (sporting event/fair/school event). Depending on what it is, you donate a picture/time (consider it advertising).
If you do well, folks will remember that. If you are willing to do more of that type of work tell them, but that you will need to at least recover the costs and a small fee for time and so on.....
You may be able to use a web site to display the pictures and offer folks the chance to buy them.

Now, if really want to do nature or landscape this still may be an in...but not as good.

Good luck and just keep going for it!
