>mfw /p/ told me my photo was shit, mostly because I shot it with a D3200 and I sold 3 copies today at $100 a pop at my first ever show.

That is all. Thanks for reading.

Good for you. If you're in it for the money it doesn't matter what people think about your work as long as it sells.
That doesn't mean it's actually good of course, but who cares?

Why did you post a drawing of a frog instead of the photo in question, though?

Nobody with half a brain will tell you your photo is shit *because* you shot it with a D3200, unless you chose to use a retardedly high ISO.
Even then, that would be less to do with your shitty camera and more to do with how you chose to use it.
Even then, selling 3 copies for $100 a pop doesn't make it a good photo, it just makes it good enough for the mongoloids you're marketing to.

>sage the bait until faggot posts the photo

Conversely, it could mean not to listen to one asshat or even a group of asshats on /p/ 100% of the time.

I love threads like these because it make me lol that people take /p/ seriously or thing the people here are like smart or something.

Spoiler: /p/ are gearfags who don't go outside. I literally saw a thread praising an anon for taking a photo of a lightbulb while he was on the toilet taking a shit and dicking around with his camera. So yeah....

I literally saw a thread of photos from a trip to Iceland.
Maybe you're literally just a stupid autist tbh smh

Additionally; $300 is fucking peanuts. I'd be ashamed if that's all I made from a day's work.

Yeah because it's silly to use cameras of the Brand which offers the best dynamic range.

It is if you're a landscape shooter. Otherwise it's fairly irrelevant.

Hey op, congratulations. This is why I don't come on /p/ very much. A few snobs that think only their way works or that if they think it was better shot some other way yours is shit.

They would rather blindly bash than provide useful criticism.

I aim to make £150 profit per a4 photo (if it's a3 - £300, a2 - £600)

Printing and framing is usually around £40 - £60 a shot unless I make the frame and matts from scratch.

This is my commercial tourist shit photos that I can piss out of my arse. If we're talking art, triple it. If we're talking day rates for freelancing £900

Do you sell directly to people/magazines/newspapers or do you use a website as a store?

I make most of my money at fairs. Loads of rich people looking to spend money. Smaller photos sell all day long, larger ones draw in the crowds.

Freelancing I only do for the money and have a fairly decent network of property agents that use me when I'm available.
