Have a digital camera and tripod? Have an eye for something that is
aesthetically pleasing and unique? Have a passion for photography? Why
not make money out of it?
Yes, you can pursue your hobby or
your passion if you like, and make money at the same time by selling
your art. You can create customized inspiration or humorous anecdotes
through online poster printing. Print it; add a little border by framing it and voila! You've got something that is worth dollars.
But how do you penetrate the art market? In order to get people's
attention and eventually sell your print posters, you have to be
recognized in the field. Here's an exercise to consider. Choose a style
and subject matter that you love, and are comfortable doing. Narrow it
down from general to specific. Humans? Too general. Young kids? Too
broad. Babies? You can still narrow it down. Babies in interesting
setting and poses or in costumes? Then you have someone like Anne
Geddes, the Australian born New Zealand photographer of cute and cuddly
images of babies in interesting settings and poses. Her focus on a
particular subject made her famous and her works are published and
reproduced throughout the world on books, print posters, cards and much more. She created a niche for herself and became a symbol for baby photography.
The trick here is to focus, focus, focus (pun intended). You do not
just focus your camera to get a good shot, you also have to focus on a
particular material for your online poster printing for example, to
create a niche for yourself. If you like birds then pursue it with a
passion like John James Audabon. If you like to take photos of everyday
American life then pursue it like Norman Rockwell. If you like to take
pictures of depressing scenes then pursue it like Edwards Hopper. These
famous American painters in the last century have withstood the test of
time because they were known for their particular brand of art.
The idea is to force yourself to choose something and decide to stay
with it long enough to be recognized. Do not get this wrong, you do not
have to stay with a particular brand of art forever, just linger long
enough to build a reputation for yourself.
You decide what you
want to pursue. Just remember that you have to stick with it. Make your
own brand of inspirational, funny or active print posters. Click and
shoot until you find your own place in the wonderful world called
artistic photography.
