How to Be a Professional Outdoor and Nature Photographer

Do you love nature photography and wish to make money from it? Would you like to make outdoor and nature photography a full time endeavor? Ask any full time professional outdoor photographer and they will tell you that this is no easy task. It takes devotion and hard work, yet there is no more fulfilling of a “career” than being a full time Outdoor and Nature Photographer.

Do you know what makes a marketable image? Can you edit out the duds and keep the winning images? Do you have an efficient and effective workflow conducive to selling images?
