felix_the_house_cat Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Hello, I just finished looking up "deductible" on dictionary.com I feel like im facing the world as an adult. I'm just wondering about resources for photo school money. I just got into RIT PJ with about 87% scholarship but theres still LOTS OF COSTS. My portfolio got me out of the first two semesters so I'm a decent photographer and I have very good grades. Besides scholarship websites WHERE DO PHOTO STUDENTS LOOK FOR MONEY? contests, corporate solicitation, any techniques for getting reviewers attention. I've been printing a picture on the outside of the mail envelope with the liquid light stuff, I've sent a 5'x5' jackson pollock box to Kodak's financial head. Please help, i think this thread needs to be on hear anyway. best regards, felix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelly_flanigan1 Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 When I was in college; I used a tlr and a 35mm to shoot portraits; also to shoot parties; things and events not as well covered by locals. There must be a basic hunger; a hussle factor; sales mode looking for work. There are things one can learn in the hussle never taught in college. If you are going to work with photography you might as well earn some money shooting images. There is work out there; you must go fishing for it. You might find you like one type of photo work; and hate another type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david_wade Posted June 29, 2005 Share Posted June 29, 2005 I paid for my degree in photography by working during the summers as a roughneck on oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico and the North Sea. Roll up your sleeves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McDonalds, Starbucks, lots of places need help. Others take out student loans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobatkins Posted July 3, 2005 Share Posted July 3, 2005 If there's free money going, I want some too. If your photography is good enough, sell it, either as art or stock. Get money the old fashioned way. Earn it. If you can't sell your work, then maybe it's not as good as you think it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
