Another great video David. Myth 4 is the one I struggle with the most.

For me: Doing ANYTHING I LOVE is worth all the hard work.. there are pros n cons to everything..having the calling to do what one LOVES and DOING IT..that is an awesome gift in life...I LOVE my camera and what it gives to me so that I can give to others..the monies will happen!
Great topic!! Thanks for sharing all of your work!

Great video David...thanks for busting those myths! I'm a full time interiors and architectural photographer who's real passion is nature and landscape photography. I'm trying to figure out how to monetize the landscape side of my business and videos like this help me think differently about that. Keep up the good work.

I’ve recently taken up landscape photography in a more serious capacity but because I love it is why I don’t think I’d ever want to pursue it as a full time career. Seems to me like it adds a tremendous amount of pressure and that’s the opposite of why I do it. Just my thoughts. It’s awesome to see those who are doing it though 👍🏻

I just started doing landscape photography after over thirty years on and off as a photographer. I’m falling in love with it. My thought was to build a portfolio and try to figure how to sell it. I like the idea of giving but as an artist my experience has been that people love to take advantage. When you say give are you actual giving away prints or digital?

What's the best way to go about building an audience that will spend money on your images? Feels like a lot of people like looking at landscape photos but not necessarily spending money on them.

[jimhamilton]

Great video David. I agreed with all your points until it came to the money making part. I am on a number of different sites. any sales I make would not put food on the table

I'll take photography burnout over working on diesel trucks any day lol
