Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and photography is an expression of an individual’s unique perception of the outside world; an expression of one’s inner vision –an art.

Most of us, however we take photography as a simple hobby, desire to express ourselves artistically and make profits if possible. The good news is it’s not impossible in our times anymore. Yes, anyone can turn a simple hobby to a full-time career!

Contrary to popular misconception, one need not have the state-of-the-art equipment in order to get good pictures that sell. Truth is, even a basic point-and-shoot camera can make you a money-making hobbyist. Although basically, you need to develop ‘an eye’ for taking pictures, yet with the help of photo editing tools like Adobe Photoshop, you can come up with pictures like those of pros and turn them into cash by selling them online!

You may not know it, but selling photographs online has made a lot of hobbyists and professional photographers earn more than what they get from their regular jobs. Some of them even quit their regular jobs in order to focus on freelance photography jobs. Most of them just enjoy travelling in different places with their camera, shooting picture here and there without worries of deadlines or the mundane dealings with employers.

I personally started with just a small collection of pictures during my travels. Now I am very grateful to a friend who told me about selling photographs online. It turned my simple hobby into passion.

The way we gaze at photographs tells a lot about our interest; and the quantity of what and whose photos we keep in our photo albums somehow tells about what we value the most. The photos we hang on our home and office walls, photos on our desktop; and even our computer and mobile phone screen savers speak about our ‘self.’ They may be our own portraits, our family members, favorite pets, places we visited, special events, celebrities, scenery, or anything that we are emotionally attached to. These photos tell stories about ourselves; speaking of the things we value, expressing our pride and joy; and give comfort to our soul.

As small children, our learning process becomes easy and more interesting by the use of pictures. They stimulate our minds and emotions and kindle our curiosity. We carried that same propensity to be curious until adulthood. This is the reason why advertisers in newspapers, magazines, books, and internet make use of pictures to capture the readers’ attention. Pictures also help to get the advertisers’ message across, much the same way children’s book did to us in the old days. Since humans are inclined to be intellectually and emotionally attached to pictures, we are and we will always be dependent on photography.

Knowing these facts should open doors of opportunity for you as a hobbyist. You should consider your humble camera and the talent you may have as a capital. Yes, you can make money out of your hobby by selling pictures online! I tell you, you’ll never what a hobby can do for you unless you look at it in a different angle.
