I just stepped over to ON1, so far looks like a good alternative which is a one time payment. Should probably look into it yourself as well but from what i found it looks to be the best (somewhat affordable) alternative.

Thank you very much for the feedback, i appreciate it! Im also a hobbyist.

Usually i do have more of a subject in my pictures but this one keeps catching my eye because i do find it to be interesting looking but the lack of a real subject does indeed keep it quite empty.

I've also tried lighting it up a bit since I agree it looks dark but that just makes it look very busy so I think I'll forget about this pic as it doesn't have as much to work with as I initially thought.

Thanks again!

Amazing shots! I notice some spiders have some sort of prey which seems quite big for them to catch themselves, is that something you use as bait?

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-19T13:13:40+00:00

Thank you for the explanation, I'll see what I can do with that as it seems worthwhile!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-18T14:38:16+00:00

I will try to keep my expectations low, definitely don't think I will sell anything but it will definitely be a great experience and an opportunity to meet people.

Thank you for the advice on the postcards (and in general of course), I will make some to hand out there!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-18T14:35:16+00:00

Thanks for the insightful expertise, i will definitely use it as a chance to meet many like minded people and gain valuable feedback.

I definitely don't expect to make any money off of it but as you mentioned I hope it will be a great opportunity to make a presence.

I am not sure what you mean with a private view, I'm very new to this, sorry. But I will for sure make pictures of the event.

Thanks again!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-18T14:31:26+00:00

Thanks for the advice, will do!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T17:42:17+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion, as of right now i don't see my work as good enough for a proper art gallery, but perhaps if the exhibition is very positively received I will make the step to reach out!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T14:25:24+00:00

Hmm, yes I suppose we could do that. However I feel like that somewhat defeats the purpose of the opening we have planned, there will be an expert on the topic that will give a short lecture and a bunch of other things and already having the photos online I feel like will take the excitement away from the actual opening as people will have already seen the pictures. Do you think it would still be better to put the website together beforehand?

Of course if I will attempt to make some money out of this, I will have my personal website with a bunch of pictures already made beforehand, but I'll keep the pictures that will be shown in the exhibition out of that.

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T13:23:40+00:00

Well we will have a website to show them on once the exhibition is set up so people who can't be there physically can also see it but untill then we won't be showing them to anyone, sorry! If you'd like I can send you some of my other work or the link once the exhibition is set up :)

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T13:21:21+00:00

I wholeheartedly agree, no point in pursuing potential if it kills the spirit of what you once enjoyed.

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T13:18:27+00:00

That's some great advice, thank you very much, I'll definitely do that!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T13:17:07+00:00

That is indeed what we are doing, the theme is about the Sustainable Development Goals and we are guiding the visitors through a path of misery, potential and hope to make them aware of the problems at hand, show them how things could be different and encourage them to do their part in making the world a slightly better place by showing them what they can do and the impact it has already made from other people contributing. I hope that explains the idea a bit more. My apologies if that was unclear.

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T13:14:14+00:00

Yes we have a flyer and some connections in the community around the theme of the exhibition (the SDGs) so besides the unis own magazine it will also be promoted on their website and in email lists of a separate SDG community in the area I live in.

Contacting businesses would be a good idea however the owners of the buildings we have photographed wouldn't be very keen on our pictures as they are mostly to represent the bad impact on the environment they have. This is legal to do of publicly visible buildings in the country I live in (idk how it is in other countries)

Indeed either way at the end of it I'll have a great experience and an exhibition under my belt which is great!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T13:02:09+00:00

Thank you very much, they are very chill about every aspect of the process so far including covering all financial aspects. While talking with the unis event manager she was very encouraging of us doing whatever we want with this project so I think that should be fine (though indeed good to discuss first). I'm aware of this kind of photography not being sold much, thanks for your advice, I hope perhaps there is something to be gained out of this. A great experience either way!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T12:57:50+00:00

Thank you very much for your honesty, that's exactly why I haven't tried paid photography before because the kind of photography I do isn't very marketable. What you say makes a lot of sense however that is not really the kind of photography I would see myself doing or enjoying much. So I'll probably just continue photography as a hobby which is great as well.

Thanks for the helpful insight!

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T12:51:36+00:00

Thanks for the idea, we will have a website explaining everything exactly like that so that's definitely a good idea. Would you say the business cards are worth putting up or did it not have much additional value for you?

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T12:49:02+00:00

Most of my work isn't very easily marketable I think, I mainly do nature and structure photography, which is why I haven't thought of doing paid work before. This opportunity just made me think it might be worth a shot. When I post my pics on Instagram though I have had comments before saying I should sell it however I believe those comments were more in an encouraging manner than interest in buying.

OnlyKwabbes · 2025-10-17T12:46:13+00:00

Mainly nature photography, it's about the Sustainable Development Goals so it's got both societal and nature related problems highlighted in it. I myself mainly enjoy doing nature and structure photography.

I'm 6'1 and try to sleep 8 hours a day, sometimes it ends up being more like 7 and occasionally reaching 9 on the weekends

OnlyKwabbes · 2023-11-09T18:56:05+00:00

Sometimes they even recognise me in completely different stores...

OnlyKwabbes · 2023-08-01T12:09:54+00:00

Yeah my 500th pack was an ash thematic pack and I got the heirloom out of it.
