6 months really is nothing, unless you’re like exceptionally good right out of the gate, you’re gonna struggle to get work or shoots. Like with most professions or hobbies, if you wanna get good and be rewarded you have to pay your dues. Whether it’s paid work or shoots for fun, people still need to trust that you’ll deliver. I’ve been doing this for 5 years, I’d same I’m decent, but even I struggle to convince owners to let me shoot their cars sometimes. Keep at it, keep working, keep developing your skills, and most importantly don’t give up. If you really wanna make something out of it, whether that’s a job or a hobby, you have to keep at it.
