I think you'd have more success generating income by selling your photographic services....I know I do!

Being able to post a notice of your having won a prize in a juried competition can be a powerful marketing tool, but contests are not going to be a significant source of income in themselves. |

Surprisingly, while there are about 20times more poeple claiming to be "pro" shooters now, there is still an increased demand for photographers. In the world of Haircare, where I make the bulk of my revenu, there is an heavy demand. Many hairstylists whom wish to participate in Hair/make-up competitions (and there are tons) need to submitt "front cover" photos as entries...not all hairstylists have the same budgets....or the same talent/potential, so there is room for many levels of photographers.
Darren, as for tips... well...the one thing I've come to firmly believe in is that, a photo is 30% model, 30%hair and 30% make-up.... that leaves me with only 10% responsability!!
Good luck, I'm looking foreward to your posts. |
