My first photo job for money: product shots for ebay. I was asked to take shots of a Barbie collection. I was thinking, no big deal. Oh man, there were a lot of dolls. I have about half the dolls done. See pic here (http://plan-b.smugmug.com/photos/23530453-L.jpg), and here (http://plan-b.smugmug.com/photos/23530454-L.jpg). Here's a pic of the boxes full o' Barbies. Who knew I'd grow up and play with Barbies. Not exactly a glamourous job, but I stand to make some pretty good money on this, I charged a per image price plus a commision, since I will be setting up the auctions. My sister will handle the shipping portion.

I would only suggest that you work on isolating the barbies. There is too much going on in the image right now...
Congrats on your first paying gig

Cheers,The first was the "done" pile. The second was the "to do" pile. Sorry, should have clarified. Here (http://plan-b.smugmug.com/photos/23563202-M.jpg)is one of the images, I've only cropped it, no sharpening yet. I want to take some time with that step, to be sure the image shows up sharp in the auction.
