Paid for Pictures
If you are already a photographer, great! You can use the following sites to begin selling your photos for passive income. They say it is hard to make a full-time income doing this. So be prepared to work hard and upload tons of photos. The way you are going to realize how much you can earn is to upload a few and multiply how much you earn off say ten photos. You will realize after 100 photos what 10 photos make times 10. You may need 20,000 photos to make a full-time income. But this will be passive income and you will be doing what you love, so either way, you can not lose. Following are some good websites to earn off your photos.

Review of Alec Soth's 'Songbook'
Alec Soth's work is commonly talked about as chronicling American life; His work is rooted in fine art but also verges on photojournalism. Enlisting the help of his friend and writer Brad Zeller, Alec for a time posed as a reporter from a fictional newspaper and investigated stories around America. These stories were documented in a series of tabloids distributed by Soth's publishing company, Little Brown Mushroom. He also published the prints separately in a book called Songbook.

Another Portrait Session
Sometimes the profession of photographer calls us to a questioning. I say sometimes, but in reality I should say that the questioning is done constantly. in my case, at least, every time I feel stagnant in my approach I wonder if it's time to hang up and move on. If there are no more challenges, learning stop and passion crumbles. No self-employed person wants to do that. that is why we must always renew ourselves and nowadays we must constantly be present on the platforms of social networks.

Things Models Hate About Photographers
The lives of professional models is not all glitz and glam. Despite the surreal appearance of their lives, they have one of the most physically and emotionally demanding gigs out there. Part of the difficulty of their jobs is a direct result of difficult photographers. Some people behind the lens don't realize the impact of their requests and actions, while others take advantage of their position. Things models hate about photographers are nearly endless when you consider the harsh reality of the industry they work in.

A Start in Photography
Having a father that is a professional photographer (David Fielding Photography), your once loved hobby becomes rather intimidating.

Crediting
Crediting people's work is always an odd topic to talk about. Or at least as I find this, especially at what point do you stop crediting? For example I would be fine not being credited for taking a picture of someone on their phone on a night out. But I would like to be credited if I used my camera, and especially if I were being paid. Having said that, I know someone who would want to be credited for the picture on a phone.
