SJ Elliott Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hello I thought I would introduce myself after signing up late last week! My name is Stephen, I'm a hobby photographer based in Aberdeen, Scotland, UK. I received my current camera (Canon 700D) as a Christmas present a couple of years ago. Although I got the camera a while back I have only really started concentrating on my photography skills around May last year, and pursuing it as a serious hobby. I have had my eye on signing up as a stock contributor since Autumn last year, however I never had the confidence in my skills and questioned whether I would even pass QC! Last week I decided I shouldn't avoid it any longer and decided to prepare some images and submit then and see what happens, I was delighted they passed through QC! Hopefully in the coming weeks and months I will have filled out my catalogue quite a bit, currently trawling through my images over the last year and picking out what I want to add! I will no doubt be looking to the forum for help or advice from time to time, I will appreciate that support, and in time can hopefully return the favor. Thanks Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starsphinx Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Hi. Took me ages to pluck up the courage to risk it as well - but here we are. Wishing you many sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ Elliott Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 Now that I have, I wonder why I didn't do it earlier! Would prob have a decent number of images up by now! Wishing you many sales as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gareth Posted June 26, 2018 Share Posted June 26, 2018 Welcome Stephen. I too was hesitant about joining - took me several months of courage building, but finally took the plunge less than a week ago, and like you I also wished I'd started sooner! I am also a fairly new hobbyist photographer with only a couple of years under my belt, loving every second though....again, wish I'd done it sooner when my back was up to it! Best of luck to you Stephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SJ Elliott Posted June 26, 2018 Author Share Posted June 26, 2018 I'm glad there is a few of us in the same situation! It does tend to take over, even without my camera i am constantly framing potential shots ! Good luck to you too! Fingers crossed we will get some interest in our shots early!
