I am 19 years old and always enjoyed taking pictures of the outdoors and animals but not until the last few months did I actually start realizing I take some top tier photos. I’ve talked to a few people and understand a few ways it’s possible to start but I figured who better than the power of social media.

If anyone has any bit of hints or tips on how to kind of get my name out there that would be a dream come true.

I have plenty of photos I can send to show some of my work if need be!

Thank you to anyone who helps even the slightest🍻

    Scroll down the sub. This is asked multiple times a week.

    You’ll probably not be able to make a career out of shooting outdoor photos and animals. This market is the most saturated of all. If you want to make (decent) money you’ll need to shoot different subjects (like weddings, corporate events, portraits, etc.).

    Also: photography is about running a business, not so much taking photos. You can take the best shots in the world, but if you don’t know how to market your business you’ll end up nowhere.

    Note that for most it takes years to build up their photography business. Some aren’t even able to make it full-time at all. It takes time to build up a portfolio, create connections, to get your name out there,… Keep that in mind.

    Just keep shooting, try different things, settle with something you like, and market that.
