Sold my first photograph

[Nuffles]

I've done a little paid work before, mostly a couple of gigs or birthday parties, but never anything serious. I've been doing a Foundation Diploma in Lens Media this year at college (total waste of time, but it's a long story and I ended up doing this course as a filler so I wasn't hanging around doing nothing for a year between A-levels and Uni). I ended up with a pass which is all I was looking for so that's all good. At the end of the year we turn the top two floors of the art building into a Summer show with all the final work from the whole FD year (about 100 people all practising different disciplines). I wasn't expecting to sell anything but the principle of the college decided to buy one of my photographs and I got £125 for it Not quite sure how that happened but well pleased either way as I could definitely do with £125 at the moment. That said I'll spend a good bit of it taking the model/my best friend out to dinner to thank her for modelling for me for the whole project

This is the picture:

I also ended up giving this one to my tutor for supporting me throughout the year, and because he loves it

Bit of a rant really, just a little shocked that I sold my first piece of work for a realistic sum of money.

Now which should I do first, Hmm lets me think

I'll do my personal reaction first :

Congratulations and well done, great to get your first big sale


Next I'll do the inevitable on here:

Have you told the tax man, are you a weekend warrior stealing my clients
