Starting off as a photographer
Friday, 3. April 2009, 02:38:36
I've been taking and making images for a long time now. I've also put them online and sent them to all my friends and family across the country and the world. So why would this post be titled "Starting off as a photographer?" Well thats because this week I sold my photographs for the first time ever!
A colleague at work who I know very well wanted to gift his newly wed brother something that he would like. He had seen my blog a couple of times and he came and asked me if I could sell him some of my images. I was more than happy to do so. The three images that he chose were from my collection on Hampi. So I got the images blown up to (8 * 10, they came out great!) and had them framed.
My colleague was delighted with the framed photographs and couldn't wait to get home to present them to his brother. When he did finally get home, pretty late since we were closing our April issue, his brother was ecstatic and called me up and thanked me for the framed photographs.
So I guess this will be the start of something. I've been planning on becoming a professional photographer and writer for a long time now. The writing thing is all done and I am pretty happy with my work, but now I will focus more on my photography and go to work for myself very very soon.
