Learn your camera and settings. Invest in some Photography classes, posing classes and editing. Build your portfolio with friends and family. Word of mouth is the best advertising. There are a lot of photographers out there. You need to stand out with your work.

Thank you! I was actually very ill many years ago. Stuck in the house, I was already hooked on photography. It was winter and I had flowers. I dove in deep into self learning and practicing. Shooting everyday to improve. Editing and experimenting with Lightroom. Macro is my go to for self therapy and downtime. As for the industry, it is tough and competitive! A lot of people picked up photography as a hobby during covid and a lot of them are pretty good! There are amateurs that call themselves pros. so be weary if looking for one!

I have a day job too and don’t rely on my photography for income. There are several places that you can sell prints on line.

All the time! I love taking pictures of frost and fresh snow. It can be dreamy! The details in frost are pretty amazing. A lot of the times you get a blue hue with snow. that is a retty good indication it is cold or colder. My husband gets up before me and will call if the conditions are good for pictures. I have him trained pretty good.
