I Visited Candy Mountain and All I Got Was This Lousy Incision
[ *  *  * ]
I'm an equine photographer (or trying to be anyway, I've only done it for a couple of years so far). A few months ago after the Scottsdale arab show, the owner of a horse who won there found my photobucket album online, emailed me, and bought three of the photos I took of his horse and subsequently put one of them (so far, I assume the others will come up later) in a 16-page cover story on the horse and a two page spread ad in all three of the breed's biggest magazines.

I just had to brag a little as I am just so unbelievably excited about seeing them in print, finally. Here's a copy of one of the ads:

Thanks for letting me brag for a moment! :clap:

You have every right to brag! Great photos and they did a really good job the way they used them in the ad. Something to put in your portfolio for sure!

Oh wow, well done! And you got paid! I have had a couple of cover pages now and also provided photos for advertising purposes but have so far done this gratis (although did get a bottle of wine and a sub to the magazine in one case :) ) - It would be really nice if someone would actually PAY me, lol! I should try and get out to some events I suppose and stop only taking photos of my own horses :P :lol:

Do you enter competitions? I have won a few little and bigger comps with my pix and it is such a blast - especially when you win realprizes AND they are horsey!

Well done and brag away :clap:

Thanks guys - I wasn't expecting much from this post as it's not the typical discipline you see around here on these boards :P

Loopy Lou -

Yeah, it was great to get paid. I would LOVE to get a cover someday - but one step at a time! :) I actually haven't entered any contests - most of the ones I've come across so far have been for amateurs only (for which I don't qualify as I've sold photos for money). But if I knew of any that weren't open to just ammys, I would definitely give a go at entering. :)
