A lot of people have access to a camera these days, which means anyone can become a photographer. However, in order to make it into a career, you need to enter into a niche and be able to market yourself correctly.<\/p>\n

Fine art photography is one of the ways in which you can pursue a career, and with the right techniques, marketing and uniqueness, there\u2019s no reason why you can\u2019t.<\/p>\n

Knowing that, there are a number of ways you can pursue your career as a photographer. Here are just some helpful tips….<\/p>\n

Be Unique<\/strong>
\nAs there are many photographers in the industry, it\u2019s important that your images stand out from the crowd and offer people something different. Your work needs to be strong and with so many how-to guides and courses available online, you can achieve this from your own home.<\/p>\n

Take a look at other photographers\u2019 work and focus on the ones that you love, studying how they achieve the images that they\u2019re creating. Try to recreate the images they\u2019ve taken so you can get a feel for what you should be doing (this isn\u2019t copying so long as you don\u2019t market these pictures as your own or try to sell them!).<\/p>\n

You Won\u2019t Be Successful Overnight<\/strong>
\nUnfortunately, it\u2019d be incredibly rare for you to go from an unknown photographer to a famous one overnight. It takes time to build up a following, and you need to be prepared for this. Don\u2019t be disheartened if you take a great shot and fail to get it noticed, it\u2019s going to take a lot of patience to get where you want to be.<\/p>\n

However, persistence is the key, and this is what will set you apart from all of the other wannabes who get fed up of trying.<\/p>\n

It can be difficult at the start, and you will receive negative comments and dismissals from people but this is all part of the learning curve. The more people see of you, the more of a gathering you will get and the more positive and heart-warming comments you\u2019ll receive.<\/p>\n

\nBe Active with Your Marketing<\/strong>
\nIn order to get your work out there, you\u2019re going to have to be very pro-active with your marketing campaigns. Don\u2019t wait for work to come to you; go out there and find it instead. Reach out to potential clients whilst marketing the work you\u2019re doing in your spare time.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t be afraid to approach companies that you\u2019d like to work with \u2013 or if you think you\u2019ve got an image that they could use, send it to them! Reaching out to businesses, art consultants and interior designers that don\u2019t have much art displayed on their walls is a great way to sell your prints.<\/p>\n

Talk to them about displaying your work (even if it\u2019s for free) so you can build up your portfolio. Nothing will look better than if you can say \u201cAs seen displayed in X company\u2019s store\u201d on your website or portfolio.<\/p>\n
