Do you have DSLR camera and only use your camera for family and personal photos. Can you imagine you just spend $1000 for only family photos.I thinks its more effective for you to buy 20 bucks camera at garage sale.

However if you do have intention to make money with your camera then its good. Here i will show you various ways to make quite good money with your camera. If you good enough you can even make a living from photography.

Wedding photography

If you are sentitive enough with your surrounding , you wil find everybody is getting married.They dont even think about wedding photos. Why dont you offer them your service to take photos for their memorable moments.You can get around $500-$1000 a day for this.

Potrait Photography

If you too much time to spend , you can walk around with your camera at the park.Ask couples who are hanging around the park to take their pictures.You do need polaroid camera to perform such service. Estimated income for few hours is around $50

Stock photo

For me this is the best method to make money with photography.By using stock photo websites like istockphoto or shutterstock you can sell your photos online.Anyway in order to sell on this website you have to makesure your photos are really good.They will filter first all photos submited before you can sell it online.On istockphoto you will get $o.2 - $1 for every download depends on photo size.Similar like istockphoto , shutterstock also sell photos as a microstock. This mean they will sell your photos at very low price to encourage sales. On shutterstock you will get $0.25 for every download. It sounds very small amount of money right , dont worry if you good enough you will get around 2000-5000 downloads for every picture submited.Good photographers there make around $1000-5000 just selling their photos online through these websites.
