| How does a person start selling photography? I don't want to put pics on a stock photography site, I want to sell prints. |

| And check out local craft shows. see about getting or sharing a booth with another artist. Sell your work there! If you make an income, you should report it to the IRS incase of an audit. Call a tax person with questions or even call the IRS info line. I know that if you make under a certain amount, you don't have to report it, but I think that number is very small. If you want to write off your camera equipment, you should really consider getting incorporated into a Sub-S Corp. It's easy to do and not too expensive. I did it a few years ago, but made almost nothing. So, I was able to write off my supplies, but it wasn't worth the annual filing fees. Good luck! |

Many ways. Finding a gallery that might be interested in hanging your work. Art shows are a good source. Online is tough. Everyone and their brother sells prints online. No body makes money at it (talking good money not $500 a year) that I know of unless you are a highly published photographer.
Interesting note. Your audience online is photographers. They are notorious for not really buying much photography. The general public buys a lot more than photographers do. Heck I just shoot my own and print it. Getting your work to the masses is infinitely more important IMO...
