These actions include entering into business arrangements not in their best interests, taking on jobs that they otherwise would turn down or, more often than not, they make the worst decision of all and bury their prices in the dirt. If you have been trying to sell your photography and can't seem to catch a break, before you try selling your soul, try reading the rest of this article to learn about ten truths about selling your photography you may be missing.

I am going to paint a picture for you to illustrate why, when it comes to business, imitation is a recipe for failure.

This scheduled 3 day in the field workshop will be held the second week in August based on my years of experience photographing the park during the wildflower season.
