Looking to sell photos online and find work.
Who do I sell my photos I have alreadt taken to? And how? I also am an mamteur, so all I have is a Canon Powershot S2 IS 5.0 Mega Pixels. I have learned ways to use it such as take a photo on a rare coin so it looks picture perfect, you know, the lighting, distance, glare, etc etc. Do you think a guy ccould get atarted with such a camera and be the quality picture that sells?
Or, do you know where I can obtain this information? I even have some great photos I took back in 1989 using a simple vavitar, amazingly they turned out fantastic. I just love photography. do need to make money but the term, starving artist is very real. And to find out what people will buy, that is a big tough question. Probably depends on the customr and each one has their own preferences. Any time to share some info to a starving man who wants to take on this as a way- best if is part time and a hobby to start naybe, Thought I would ask and see what I learn. Thank you for your time.

Hi Nathan,
Here’s some great information for you to start your research:
Cameradollars tells about a little known photography market that’s about to explode due to the world wide web.
Easyphotobiz focuses (excuse the pun) on teaching you how to help national lending, leasing and insurance institutions who need you to take specialized photos in your local area.
Digicamcash is a one-time fee membership site (no monthly charges) that gives you ongoing support, and lists over 21 different types of people who are ready to buy your photos.
Hope this helps! And thanks for visiting.
