Does anyone here freelance? Any tips to make it a stable source of income (even just side income?)
I have done photography freelance on and off but I cannot seem to find clients who reliably want photography. Just connections and odd jobs here and there. Any tips for finding good clients who reliably want stuff done?

>don't switch to a new mount in the digital transition so all your customers can still use their old film lenses
>pride yourself for upholding true photographic tradition and having the finest lenses with the most "character"
>release the first full frame camera that can actually make full use of all those "sweet" 35mm pentax lenses in 2016, literally 10 years after the competition
>in the meantime only make shitty APS-C kit zooms
>Release your only monochrome camera for the true affecionados
>It's APS-C
Why is this company such a joke?

I'm really lost on how much sensor size matters, because while I read tons of gear stuff here and the most detailed explanations, in reality the photos taken with a small sensor still look good to me because it's about composition, feelings, emotion, subjects and things like that.
So what's the deal with sensor sizes

Critique Wanted: "Authentic Sinner"

No.4486428 View ViewReplyOriginalReport
I want to share a small project I have been working on for the last few weeks. It is a self-portrait mini-series called "Authentic Sinner," inspired by the fresco of Giotto called Virtues and Vices. I tried to find the five vices that represented me the most, although I am also trying to respond to society's vices as a whole, as well as the representation of the vices in the history of art. This is obviously an ambitious project for a first-time series and was not executed professionally, but I learned a lot about executing a concept in the process... I was a bit camera shy at first but learned to perform, direct myself, and shoot with a self-timer. The outcome could have been better, upon reflection, but I am happy that I tried my hand at a creative project.
Please be as honest in your critiques as possible. I was told to work more on my angles, try to make the still life less flat by pivoting the camera more, to use dutch angles, finding better backdrops, as well as learn how to arrange a still life (mine is lacklustre). I will retake the final self-portrait (Infidelitas) because it isn't how I want it, but the prototype is good enough to show how I want it to be presented, as a (cross-shaped) polyptych.
Self portraiture is a really fascinating genre and I hope anons try to take it up in their spare time. It's a great way to express yourself and learn more about the artistic, reflexive, and ruminative sides of photography. I learned a lot about myself and the methodology of photography in the process.
If I have time, I will finish the last two sins: Inconstancy and Foolishness, but I think they bleed into the rest of the vices in the theatrical and carnivalesque ways in which I performed.
