I am not all that great at photography but have been offered money a couple of times for some pictures and for some photoshop work(simple stuff) I have taken of my nephews and neighbours dogs, but each time I have said no(some may say im mad) as it is just a hobby for me and have enjoyed taking them, I will leave the making money to the professionals who have a lot more skill than me.

I have just re read this thread right through and how I have changed.
This thread was written 3 years ago and now I could not be bothered to enter a conversation like this let alone start one now ha ha.
Life is really too short.
I knew when I started it I would not get straight ''yes or no'' it would be dissected into how good someone is.

sorry not finished....
I got paid by people who were happy with my work, I don't know why that was so hard to understand.
I have posted a few portraits in the last couple of days one being ''fun in the sand'
some liked some didnt
importantly the 'mum' loved it and if she was a client that would be whats important. As I don't do it for money anymore she had the photo sent by e mail to do what she likes with.

of course it is, I didn't even take part in the thread, as I was such a newbie, so wouldn't of got involved then. Was just surprised to see such an old thread, that's all

I use Redbubble to exhibit and sell my work, faff free and simple.
I do get private commissions but prefer to sell the 'right' to copy the pic onto canvas or whatever rather than do that side myself. It's not my strong point and I am not paricularly interested in that stage of the process.
Redbubble do it well and pay you the commission.

I submit my images to several stock sites including Alamy, RedBubble, Big stock, Panthermedia, istockphoto, Veer (Corbis images) and fotolibra. Most of my sales have come from RedBubble
