>>3396992>I'm looking to get started with interior photography, but I don't know where to begin. Not in terms of gear but building a portfolioSame way you build a portfolio in any other genre- literally just start.
Shoot freebies til you get people contacting you passively, you wont score worthwhile paid work without a portfolio.
I started interiors with urbex locations, then literally shot shopping centres and museums. Doing this competently and creating a couple of visually stunning images a couple of times is enough to get good paid work, which sooner or later, turns into additional portfolio entries over time
There are also city open days in my country where private buildings tend to go open to the public for a couple of days- look out for those. That said, there's no drawback to simply phoning, emailing and best of all, walking in and talking to building owners and showing them some of your exteriors and giving them a blurb like you wrote.
>>3397051Golden rule, and something I wish someone had told me when buying first camera is- save up and spend as much as you possibly can as you're going to outgrow the camera body fast- also budget at least 1:3 for body to lenses, as those are what matter more once you're proficient

In case you're actually serious the answer is that I don't make enough from prints to make it worth worrying about, and the few times people have posted my stuff online without pointing back to me I've seen literally no difference in the amount of money being made from stuff. Watermarking is retarded for the same reason- it doesn't affect your income
>>3397133Best question in here
>>3397217>Clearly they wanted your product but instead of your making $X you made $0, which is a loss of X dollarsIf they're willing to print a 1080px image instead of paying a few bucks then I'm not losing money because they're too mentally or visually handicapped to buy my prints anyway
