Richard has made some very practical comments on this thread, and Albert, I’m sorry but as Nick has pointed out, it’s not just a case of owning the right kit.
Selling images to magazines does not make a living, it just brings in a bit of cash. You can take pictures at airshows and sell them, but you need to have established a good reputation with the right contacts.
A recent experiance has shown me that despite air to air images being very nice and sellable, peaple are far more interested in something unusual, and that’s what sells. A nice plan view of a aircraft taken at a show is great, but not unusual. I have a lot of these images in my portfolio that I am very proud of, but they will remain as just nice images that I like, but they have little commercial value.
Oppertunity, planning and a creative mind are crucial to success.
