Any idea on how to use my photographes professionally?

[MrsBigD]

So here's the deal... I LOVE to take pictures and most of them are pretty good if I dare say so myself . I was now wondering how to go upon actually getting some published/used so I 'stand to gain a wee profit'

Some of my pics have been published in 'coffee table issues' which got printed by picture.com and I do submit a photo every few months (that's all they'll let me . Actually made it into the finals last year, but wasn't willing to fork out to go to a photographers convention in the US for the priviledge that I might win the grand price iykwim. Also was 6 months preggers so not exactly feasible

oh and to see what kind of photos I have submitted so far have a look here if you are terribly bored

They are excellently done MrsBigD. I am really impressed Think you are very talented but don't have any advice except go for it!!!

I think you may need to contact some of the photographic agencies that just submit loads of stuff each day to all the magazines. Don't know any of the agencies tho....

[MrsBigD]

so far I;ve contacted one agency but they want a complete portfolio with 10,000 annotated pictures! I thought that was a tad ott

[MrsBigD]

bumpidipum... any 'lateshifters' have any ideas for me?
