Diving into the world of "Professional" Photography - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

Well, I guess I have made my first leap into the world of "professional" photography. Not that I consider myself a professional, but this is the first time I have ever posted anything for sale...

For anyone interested, here is the blog I started: Radiative Captures

Hardly a masterpiece, but perhaps I can make this crazy, expensive hobby at least pay for itself!

I'm diving into the same thing. I've done a ton of freelance work over the years, but I want my own set up. I shall keep up with you. It's always good to know others in the same boat with the same passion.

Thanks! I'd be interested in any tips you can share from your own experiences.

Posted some new pics here:

Might get the chance to take some pictures at a fetish club soon. That should be fun!

Turns out I was the only one allowed to bring a camera into the opening of a new fetish club! Awesome! I will need to check with the people in the photos before sharing, but it was LOTS of fun!

My wife has been trying to get into professional photography also. Her strategy at the moment is to offer free gigs to people in exchange for allowing her to use their stuff in her portfolio. No reselling, etc. but it's hard to sell without examples. She's done a few so far, nothing that has really taken off, but I think it is a good strategy. Hard to charge for your work if you don't have a sizable portfolio IMO

For sure. I am working on building my portfolio (both fetish and vanilla) doing a trade for pics arrangement. Works well so far.
