Turning Rejection into Success.
If turning photography into income has a downside, it’s this: it doesn’t always work. You’ll pitch for jobs you won’t get, enter competitions you won’t win and submit images to stock companies who will send them back encouraging you to try again.
While for some photographers that might be the best option – at least until they’ve practiced a little more and honed their techniques – for others, it’s a lost opportunity. Rejection might be as much a part of photography as model releases and memory cards but it’s also a chance to spot weaknesses and make your photography better and certainly more commercial.
