Why is it that photographers are often asked to shoot for free when they photograph for a living? Have you ever found yourself in this situation? Share your thoughts and experiences below.

My name is Ralph Robinson (@ralphrobinsonimagery) and I am a wildlife and landscape photographer based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. My work is fueled by a connection to the natural world, rooted in memories of time spent with wild creatures in unspoiled landscapes. Those experiences have driven me to actively encourage the preservation of remaining wilderness, along with the diversity of life forms we can find there. Employing photography as my starting point, I use techniques of photogravure, woodblock, screen, and other mixed-media printmaking forms, and transform these images into a multi-dimensional exploration. By personally engaging with the physicality of printmaking, I seek to go beyond representation, with the aim of evoking in others the resonance that these landscapes awaken within me. My goal is to inspire conversations about the interdependence that defines our existence, and the urgency of safeguarding the beauty of our planet's untamed corners. In doing so, I hope to support a collective commitment to preserve, protect, and cherish those spaces before they disappear.

Dario Giannobile (@dariogiannobile) is a Chemical Engineer with a passion for astronomy and photography; since 2013 he has been photographing the night sky showing the most incredible and sometimes hidden places in Sicily. He likes to look for parallels that show Sicily as a metaphor for the world. No borders, just one people under the same sky. His photographs aim to promote the country's millenary history, artistic richness and naturalistic beauty. Dario's work has been recognized by several awards, featured by NASA, published in numerous international journals, and he has participated in many television and radio broadcasts to speak about astro photography over the past decade. He is also a member of the Pictores Caeli group with which he shares his own way of interpreting landscape astrophotography.

Pricing prints vs. digital files – how do you strike the balance? 

Navigating the pricing landscape for creative work can be quite the puzzle. When it comes to offering prints or digital files, finding that sweet spot that values our artistry and meets clients' expectations can be a challenge.

How do you determine the pricing structure for prints vs digitals? Do you struggle with other photographers' pricing structures? Share your insights, experiences, and any tips you've gathered along the way. 

Tag a fellow photographer who might have valuable input or is in need of some advice.

Hiya! My name is Natasha Snyder (@_natasha_snyder_)  and I am a portrait photographer in Texas. Living on a farm has its bonuses as most of my images are with children and farm animals. This is one of my favorites in my kitchen. I do a lot of baking specials with farm animals here in my home with chickens, baby chicks, goats and yes, even a donkey! 

Nikon z5 with 35 1.4 prime. One continuous light is used for this shot. There is  additional lighting from a glass door with evening sunlight coming in.

I love that I have been with Zenfolio since the start-up of my photography business and adding and tweaking things has been super easy. ♥️

Hi, my name is Irene Mann (@irenemann) and I'm a portrait photographer in Pennsylvania, specializing in equine photography. I love the bond between the girl and her horse in this image.

This was shot at Valley Forge Park during mid-day hours, so I adapted to let in as much light as possible.

I love Zenfolio for the functionality yet simplicity of the site, ability to showcase my work, and ease of client use.
