I WANT A JOB!

[Colin_da_Killer]

Argh... I really am sick of sitting on my arse looking at job search websites for jobs in photography, it obviously isn't working and I'm thinking most photography jobs are filled by the "A friend of a friend" routine...

So who's friend of a friend can I be here? I want to get any kind of photography job, well except portaiture of little children (blah too much work).

Advice please?

Will try looking for some photographers around this area then, although got more chance in glasgow (40mins away).

CyKey, give me some of your contacts

Other things to do is to start entering competitions if you haven't already. Get a portfolio published in AP, PopPhoto etc....you need to start building a name. Friend of mine got a couple of pictures published in AP Photographer of the Year comp and started to pick up work. Not enough to live on but it pays for the hobby and he only does the stuff he wants to do; turns work down.

AP? PopPhoto? Etc? lol links would be great! Thanks a lot

I might do a photography course at college but most people i hav heard from said a good portfolio is better than any certificate you might have saying your good at photography.
