Thing is cameras are too expensive right now
Merci Pierre pour la vidéo très informative. Une question concernant your earns outside of France. Comment tu gères tes revenus que tu fais à l’extérieur de la France? T'as une compte USA et l'autre FR? Merci d'avance
@@nachogrez203 Bonne question! J'habite aux us donc je paie mes impots aux US pas en France en fait. :)
Merci
OMG it actually works i put the coins in my camera and I made tons of money!!
💸💸💸💸💸💸
It was probably just the cactus juice
I put a quarter in and got back 25 cents 😳
Now you need to get others to put in money!🤓
How?? What coins did you use? Because I put in dimes and quarters and only got back Shekels.
To be honest, it's not that easy in my opinion. I'd say I take decent photos now after 3-4 years with my camera and I'm yet to sell a single print or stock picture, even though I uploaded them on multiple sites. NFTs are also dying already. And if you're a beginner, even if your're good or very good, nobody is going to pay much for portraits either. In the end it's just a picture and everyone can take a more or less similar picture with their phones mostly. The only money I made so far was due to a wedding planner recommending me for wedding shoots and without that planner I probably wouldn't have a single job so far, even though I have a website, insta, businesscards, fully filled google/maps profile with sample pictures, prices, logo, everything included, even easy online bookings. Without a decent following you're not going anywhere these days, only if you have time to grind 24/7 which isn't my case due to my fulltime job, or if you're really lucky.
You have to believe in yourself and your work. If you do this people will see you different. Website fine, Insta fine. But in the end it all comes down to you and how you are selling yourself.
@ ah come one, that's such a generic phrase. "Just believe in yourself and you will succeed", if that worked I'd be rich by now lol.
I did not think Pierre is sharing this as "easy things". These are some options to evaluate and see which one you like the most or things that you probably didn't even think about. After starting anything, you will have to confront a lot of new challenges, i mean: selling NFT's is hard if you don't create an appropiate collection that create interest in people (and you have to promote it); Selling stock photos is hard if you don't made good commertial type photographies; portrait is hard to sell with a good price if you're not possitioned as a good portrait photographer (and if you think that anybody its capable of taking pictures like you do just with a cellphone and no knowledge, you could not sell any photography to anyone, never, i mean, if you dont believe in your product who else would?); and going out looking for clients isn't a everybody's thing. You have to choose your way, and be constant and patient, but doing it well, "just do it" isn't enough.
Totally agree with you dude. I've been doing photography for over 6 years and I've only ever sold one print that entire time. Selling prints just isn't a good way to make a buck in photography, especially with websites out there like Displate where people are just stealing photographers images and selling them for much cheaper than the photographers do. The average person has no idea their buying stolen images.
Really the only niche in photography these days that's still making good money is weddings, and even more so wedding videography, but even weddings are slowly on the decline too.
i would actually buy one of your prints in person. of course it depends on timing. just bought 2 prints from someone i met at one of my favorite places. of course i am a photographer so i can empathize when people like or even love your photography but rarely buy your prints or if at all. the person i bought the prints from, invited me to a free show so that helped. yet i bought the 2 prints cause that's what i could afford & i liked the prints. i will go on a limb to say he might have even given them to me for free if i didn't have the money. i believe you will make your first sell when you least expect it. or at the very least give one to someone who actually cherishes it & they will be the energy needed to make your sell or the very least gain great grace
This was a great video, like many that you post. Thank you so much for sharing this, I've learned quite a bit in the last few months watching your channel!
Awesome video. Thanks for putting all this information together for all to benefit.
Thank you man for good advice! I love all your videos! You are very cool and your photos are extraordinary!
Great tips! My favorite one is taking portraits and the last one..selling limited copies. Thanks for sharing!
Dude thanks for uploading this one literally this will helps for me ♥️🤗
Great video - great tips - many thanks - I'll follow up on all the tips & ideas even if it takes while!
As a french teen I'm impressed of how you're speaking in english, I want to speak english like you Pierre !
Anyway, thanks for your videos especially this video !
Exactly what I needed
Thank you for sharing this info ! I am in the market to get a camera soon and start shooting with no experience and I highly believe I can start a lot from you !
This was great. Thank you.
Great insights 🙏🙏🙏
Your photos is amazing 🔥🔥
Thank you Pierre
Great ideas. Thank you very much
Thank You for the Video. It was informative.
Those are really great ideas 💡 👌
Brilliant I didn’t realise it was that easy
Thank you @pierretlambert
I would love to start selling my photos but I had no idea where to start but now after watching this Vid you gave me a couple ideas so thank you so much.
Keep making videos very helpful and informative.
Keep up the great work.
I love that video! I'm willing to become a pro one day and I couldn't figure out how to make a dime, and that was annoying. thanks a lot Pierre!
C’était vraiment une super vidéo, ça va me permettre de passer au niveau supérieur ! Merci !
Great video, Pierre. Regarding the bonus tip that you shared, do you need to have a website up yet so people can buy it from there?
You are very nice and thank you for all the videos👍😊
Man your freaking awesome 🖼📸
Very useful , thanks Pierre!
You’re welcome!
great video Pierre! question from an amateur.. are you selling prints in frames, or just shipping a print in a tube similar to a poster?
It's not as easy. As he said. Making money with photography takes time. This is for someone who well established.
Thanks for your reply.
Waiting this video for ages....🙂
thanks helpful vid
Hey Pierre! Thanks for the great video... What kind of lens is the red one on your Sony A1, and where did you get it from? Thanks in advance. Peace, Love, and Happiness!!! 🙃
This Is Very Help Me
thanks!
Whats that red lens on your camera
Ive seen another photographer using a similar one and his photos were nice too
Have any links to what photos sell the most/best?
“Make some monehhhh” 😂😂
Who do you use for printing? Do you outsource, or print in house? Can you recommend a high quality printer company? Thanks for your video. It is encouraging.
Photographer its fun taking shots
he is my favorite photographer
what camera or resolution you need if you are printing your photography?
I love photography..
where do you get your prints made?
What about having a gallery of watermarked pictures online and then only printing them out when someone orders one?
Great tips, thanks! Any advise on a print selling site/platform that take care of the printing and shipping process ?
I’d like to know that as well please ^^
Darkroom tech
I’ve heard of FineArt America, but I don’t have any experience with them.
suwun tips e mas🙏
Can you please introduce the site where you sell the photos?
If you are super talented and have no connections, these tips make work. But seriously, it’s easier said than done, and it takes time, but be consistent and you may get there.
What kind of paper do you print your photos on? Which printing laboratory do you work with?
In which laboratory do you make the prints you have in your hands?
I’m going to try and offer photos to restaurants, I’ll tell you if it worked!
Already been into stock photography for over a year and made a few hundred dollars, and I’m now setting up an online shop for my prints!
How's your stock photography going?
@@jasons373 Pretty good, it was my best year so far (in terms of downloads) :)
Hi Pierre! When you talk about portrait sessions, do you actually print the photos for the peoples who buy ? or you only send them via google drive or something like that ? Ty!
I give them a link to a nice private gallery online. they can then buy the pics or more. if possible I have them come in person to review also and will propose prints etc
As someone how has been doing model horse photography for 3-4 years and has been collecting for 6/7 years now, I think you could make money out of photography no matter what you do.
It all depends on how to sell yourself, do well in marketing, and word-of-mouth.
Thanks for the information! I have photos lying around and looking to sell them. Could you show how to create instagram ad? Thanks!
Hey Pierre! What is the RED LENS on your camera? It is not listed on your list of lenses. Specs, cost and why you have it. What camera body is it mounted on? Have you actually gotten better shots with it than some other lens?
Viltrox Lens
What do you think about apps like EyeEm?
can you help me pick a portable printer ?
thanks so much !!
whats that red lens?
Good day sir . I have a lot keeping photos, in my phone.
❤️❤️
It’s funny. How UA-camrs make it seem so easy. But actually is hard af
Where does he print his photos
WAKE UP! WAKE UP! Pierre Posted!!!
Hehehe Goooooooood Morning!
Du you have an idea for at good camera. There's no budget, just a very good camera that can take amazing pictures! :D I'm looking for at camera that can take amazing pictures, (Portrait pictures) But i don't know whats good and what's bad. Can you help with that?
0:10 thank you so much i made so much money!!!! 😍😍😍😍😍😍
Question… where do you print your photos? I live in Puerto Rico and there are no local photography printers.
Yeah, we do have, Walgreens, office depot, etc… but they are not the best.
I’m looking for a place that can print big prints, canvas, etc.
Any suggestions?
By the way amazing content ✨ you always helping us to make money or content with our camera.
You will have to find printers in the U.S. that would do the type of quality printing that you want. Find ones that can ship outside the U.S.
@@thehumanityoflife6460 I know that, that's why I'm asking for suggestions.
I now use pixieset, as they then deal with all the printing and shipping. 15% comission on the free tier or no commission otherwise. Printing isn't worth my time, so I outsource it, easy.
I would love to do some of these things but I’m a kid and don’t have much experience
Start practicing. That is what I did when I was in high school. Take photos of anything and focus on composition/lighting.
I am 25 years old and i just bought a camera for the first time! the sony A7 ii with the FE/2.8 50mm lens, You think 25 years old is too old to start with photography or not? i really love taking pictures and now i just want to make my job off it but i am insecure because i am 25
You're never too old to start photography.
Just do it! I started showing up in youth track & field events, getting contact information of the participants after taking their pictures, and mailing them tiny photo samples of them. Same goes for beauty contests, etc.
Well bro I'm nearly 27 and I haven't bought my first camera yet but I've got the same ambitions. Race ya to the top!
@@generalapathy7509Thanks, Gen. Ap., for the creative and supportive challenge to J. Forester. I've been shooting since 7th grade, now three years retired and though not looking to start another career, I shoot street photog, pass out business cards and people contact me from time to time.
LOL: "Is 25 yrs old too late?" Tell us what you decide the answer was when you're 50. Or, assuming you don't get caught up in weed or drugs along the way, report back after you pick it up in retirement with a lifetime of experience at 70.
9:13 his talking syncs to the music
I have $2500 saved. Should I go for a cheap or used camera or the a7iv with the kit lens? I am a beginner photographer
Buying used will save you money but make sure its in excellent condition.
THANK YOU SO MUCH for that video!
even though I am neither a professional nor have yet sold any pictures, I am incredibly excited that there's even a chance of someone buying my pictures!
that even just remote chance, plus all-around great feedback on Instagram, has motivated me a lot to get better and shoot more pictures!
Wah baik sekali, gmana caranya ngawalinya untuk penawarannya
holding a Nikon d5600 with 50mm prime and watching this video. take love from Bangladesh.
I'd love to try printing, but that initial cost investment on the printer puts me off. What's your thoughts on drop shipping and have you ever tried it?
Selling prints has next to no profit in it. You'll be spending more than you're making. Wouldn't advise putting a lot of effort and money into it.
Give it a go Mark everyone has different success and yeah it's not easy but you just need to keep trying. I don't have a following on socials and I have had no issues selling. Everyone is different but it's how you market yourself and I find how you interact with people. I spend a lot of time talking to people in person and generate a lot of leads that way. I am no pro and have a full time job but still manage to do OK. Don't give up.
I started drop shipping from day 1. Saves costs but the only downside is you can't add anything personal to the print because it's shipped straight from the printers.
Hi Pierre, i just wanted to say I put some coin inside my camera and but it only broke the Battery door lid.
Another good way to make money would be to contact offices and offer headshots for the staff. All you would need is a window background and a strobe light.
Wat about Eyeem???

So I'm just an amateur photographer and only use my OPPO Reno 4Z and it doesn't have a great camera detail wise but I'd like to make sm money from my work because I have so little I can't even afford to live well and at 42 photography is the first passion I've had...the first hobby...1st thing I like to do...I don't know if I have any talent but I'd like to think I'm ok at it I just don't get the opportunity to go to good places with good opportunities for awesome photos cuz I don't currently have legal roadworthy transport not to mention that I don't have the money to get a few pieces printed to frame which I'd have to do myself (find good frames to Incase my photos) but one thing I do have is hope and whilst this world and the people in it who don't care how they affect others have tried to kill but me & my hope are like a cockroach -HARD TO KILL!! So I've decided to learn what I can online and work towards putting a collection together to sell. I feel like it's impossible but I refuse to believe the lies in my mind telling me any chance of recognition appreciation and income r out of my reach!!!
I think the only way I can make money with my photography is just by selling my camera 🤔
BINGO!
@ᴛᵉˡᵉᵍʳᵃᵐ ᵐᵉ👉Drone_01 it looks like is a scam…..
were u going next
Nothing in life worth having or doing comes easy. I think how hard it was just to get a new camera and leave 1974 and join 2020,( when I got my new camera and an Adobe account). Why would it be easier to make a living with that camera than it was to buy; and all those lenses. It is like a band you see. In youth many desire to become rock stars so, we picked an instrument and learned to play it. In fact you spend your whole life mastering it. Then you fall into companie with a band and you realize that it isn't about your instrument but your communication skills and the degree of engagement you hold for the effort that will make or break you. So many places to fail. So many weak links and maybe you are one of them. In photography there is me and my camera and I will figure out how to turn a buck or I wont. I can not blame the bass players drinking on my failures now by crikey. All I know is: I will have to work far harder than I do at trucking if I want my camera and film dreams to be realized. Thank you for these tips, I will exploit the hell out of any one I can.
pouvons nous avoir la video en français s'il vous plaît 😩
Consider this: I’ve visited many photography galleries by some really amazing photographers and despite many visitors, rarely do I see anyone buying prints. This is the same at various art and craft shows where some incredible prints are displayed but almost none are purchased. Although, plenty of people have an Annie Leibovitz or Ansel Adam’s book on their coffee table or shelf. Wedding photography being the other exception. It’s pretty obvious that the nature of photography is infused with a bit of egoism. Not saying it’s good or bad… it just is. Many people would rather spend thousands of dollars on camera gear, camera bodies, lenses, etc. and go to a particular destination to take the photos themselves rather than pay $50 to few hundred dollars for an amazing landscape print that some great photographer spend considerable effort and time to capture. The real money in photography is selling camera gear (e.g. Sony, Canon, Fuji, Panasonic, Nikon, etc) or photography tutorials, LUTs, etc. to people.
I think as Pierre said, the person who buys your prints are likely not going to be some random stranger who just came across your work. It's going to be the person who has been following your work, really likes one of them, and connects to the photograph. I don't think the target audience is necessarily a photographer - rather a person who is just interested in a particular field that you capture.
Can you do street photography with Sony ZV-E10 please, i'm a beginner i need some reference from a profesional.
Street photography isnt about the camera man, just go out and shoot!
I just need a the result.
He can show 10 pics and tell u he made them with that camera even if he didnt... its not about the gear man
I don't really expect you to reply to this, but. I have a Sony 6400 with the kit lens and a Sigma 16mm 1.4
I'm getting a $4,000 bonus and I'm trying to decide between selling my 6400 and buying a a7iv or building out the 6400 with a couple more lenses and some accessories.
I want to take photography seriously and I'm not sure which one to jump into, but I have a feeling the second is the better path.
Hey man! I wanna buy a6400 ...is that good enough?and what do you do with it?
@@jasons373 I love my 6400, but if I could go back, I’d get the 6600 for in body stabilization. It’s not a huge deal breaker, but it is nice to have. I also just got the 18-105mm f4 for it and it’s really nice. I do photography mostly, but I’m starting to get into video. All my UA-cam videos are with the 6400.
@@KellyKatz first of all sorry for say" hey man" and thanks for info is it usable if lens has oss ..?
@@jasons373 ya
Selling photos through stock photo services is less efficient than digging trashcans for money. Seriously. Competition is ungodly huge and most stock services will restrict your photos and demand documentation and apply restrictions that are literally ridicolous. I've tried it once, I'll never do it again.
Same with trying to sell prints and NFT's. The amount of time and effort put in trying to do them produces almost zero profit.
@@jasonforester7292 Exactly, now days prints usually don't make more than 2% of a total income for an average pro.
