A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

I'm a 14-Year-Old Car Photographer, can you give me some criticism on my photos, and advice on making money as a photographer. Thanks (alien.top)

Hi, I'm a Car Photographer, and I've done quite a few shoots in the past, some free some paid, with some amazing cars, for example I shot a lamborghini tour in the Yorkshire dales and an M5 & X7 for a car dealership. I've probably made about £300 in total from photography. I've emailed about 10-15 Companies around me asking if they would be interested in my photography, social media management & developing videography skills, with quite professional sounding emails. I've not told any of the company's the price or the fact I'm 14, but haven't got any responses at all even though I genuinely think I could help companies- I'm stuck on what to do. Any advice is appreciated or critique on my photos. I have a free photoshoot this Sunday of a Porsche 356, as I know the owner quite well (who also has a 992 GT3) but nothing after. Thanks so much

I shoot cars on occasion, mostly for Turo.com. The demand for vehicle photography is quite low compared to other work (real estate and sporting events, I kinda stopped with portraiture).

You have potential, but it seems like you haven't mastered your settings. Some photos have distracting foregrounds/backgrounds that could be solved with narrower depth of field (or shooting at a longer focal length, I like somewhere between 100-200mm). Some of the action shots aren't shot at a high enough shutter speed to freeze the subject.

You should add some more interior shots. I'm a fan of this shot where you sit in the backseat and shoot the front dash.
