Making money in photography...

[calgaryphotographer]

Hello!

I have taken a step into photography, but I have no time (or ability) to make it my fulltime profession. What I am looking for is a means for me to sell my work to the casual person who would be interested in buying it (to help offset the costs).

How could I go about selling my work?

lol, if the answer were that easy we'd all be doing it!

Try setting up a booth at a local craft fair. Have your favorite shots blown up and mounted and display them for sale. Here in Indiana we have festivals in almost every town throughout the summer and fall. People will pay for a well presented photograph. You kind of have to test the waters though to see how much your local area is willing to pay for such photos. You can even "take orders" for your work and send it to them after they have already paid you, however most people like to get their print when they pay for it.
