Yes, I do make money with my photos! I make money by selling stock photos, selling prints of my photos, selling my photos to magazines, entering photo contests and by shooting weddings! There are so many ways to make money with photography. You can pursue it as a full time career, or just make a few extra bucks with your hobby!

I love photography! It has been a hobby of mine since I was in grade school. There were times when I got paid for some of my photos. To date, I have made good amount of money for some of my work. Most of the time, I do not really sell them. But I make sure that from time to time, I join exhibits. I feel proud for those achievements.

Most of my income from photography is from fine art prints. SDome of these I sell through Zazzle, Redbubble and Imagekind. Event photography is also a good source of income, and I teach, which is fun as well as profitable.
