E-commerce platform for potographers

Second step of becoming professional photographer

As you can recall I told you last time about my home studio and my new amazing equipment I purchased. So, I've started to operate it and since then my portrait photography skills were improved. I also started to shoot products photography and in-studio commercial photography works.
Today I want to tell all of you about new step I made to develop my business. I opened account in Photoshelter. Still not a pro account but beside the size the Gigabytes there is no different.
The advantage of this service is that it is really e-commerce platform for photographers, beginners and pro as well. I upload until now several galleries for licensing and images and photos for prints. They actually even supply you with the service of image printing. I try this now and very enjoy it. After learning all the advantages of the site I will share this with all of you.


I consider my self as a people photographer. It includes people within their environment, their environment by itself this is why there lots of scenic images almost in parallel to every people gallery I have. It also includes rituals, celebrations, and ceremonies, and as we all know our world is full with these.
The tree galleries I already uploaded are from my travels, as an assignment or my jeep trips. The first 2 galleries are from Montenegro from my assignment their in May 2009.
One includes the people and the faces of Montenegro.


It was in May, so, this is the season when people from the villages and small cities in the valley take their family, the equipment they need and they put all of this on one old truck and move to their home in the mountains. These mountains become green and the temperature is not so cold. (During the winter, the houses are sealed). In that weather they can shepherd their flock and put the cows into the meadow. This move I already saw in my assignment to the Carpathians in Romania in 2006. (There is a gallery from that assignment which I will be elaborate in one of my next blog)
Woman shepherd the flock while knotting sweater is a casual sight. Kids that contribute their part to the living in the mountains. 12 years old boy that woodcutter trees, preparing boles to the winter.
Second gallery is full with photos and images of the amazing scenic of Montenegro. It includes views of the snowing mountains and its reflections in the lake. there is lot of green and water in those images.
In the next blog I will describe the other galleries of Romania and Japan to come.
