Welcome to ePHOTOzine’s freelance section, created by our sister title Freelance Photography Made Easy (FPME). Members who join ePHOTOzine soon become tempted to earn money from their photography. Earning cash from your camera is a great way to help pay for your next lens or studio flash you may have been dreaming about. It also gets you a foot up into a more enjoyable career if you decide to take up professional photography full time. While getting in to the market is fairly easy, knowing how to make the first steps and where to go can be more difficult. The idea of FPME is to share tips and techniques to make your life as a freelance photographer easier.
