I'm very interested in freelance photography, or getting a job at a local studio. I'm a songleader at my church, but I volunteer, and need a career for my finances.
If anyone could show me a completely free freelance photography website where I could sell some of my pics, or sign up to take some for a company, would get my vote for a best answer.
Thank you very much in advance.
Sincerely, Digory83

http://submit.shutterstock.com/ is simply the best that I have found; pictures have to be 4 MP to meet their submission guidelines. Also visit my 360 page for some ideas and links to other photographers. I found a freelance job on craigslist but due to circumstances beyond my control that I never really understood, it didn't happen, so I am somewhat skeptical now because that was my first client. If you need a full time job like I do, try getting a job at a local newspaper, it might even help to get one of your pictures published first before you apply for a job as a staff photographer. Set up a career interview with someone that is respected in the field, where you would like to work, you know, to gather information. If all else fails, get a job at a photo lab, or a print shop, or deliver the paper and work your way up the career ladder. I set goals for myself, like saving money for advertising and business cards now that I am a published photographer, while at the same time taking lots and lots of pictures.

photography is not a really hard work. especially with the current situation. the situation is this. all these camera companies, expecially canon and nikon, are making these really good consumer DSLRs for really cheap. so people now, see an expensive piece of work and think they can take the same thing with their camera. what people dont realize is that a camera is mearly a tool. its only as good as its human attached. if you have a passion and an eye for photography and art, i say you have a decent shot at making it in the biz. if your work is well crap, i say get out and just enjoy it on the side. me personally, i have a true passion and lust for photography. however, i am becoming a nurse and using my photography buisness on the side to make extra spending money. so my suggestion is this. how bout compromise and do both? work a good job and be a photographer. there is nothing wrong with that. if this is not what your looking for, im sorry. not sure how old you are. so my last words are, take a look at some photo galleries and the such. see how fast the photos are selling...not very fast at all. people cant spend money like they used to. just something to consider...

You might look into http://www.deviantart.com
A basic account is free, and you can set up to sell prints there and get feedback on your work to help you improve.
I guess it kind of depends too on what kind of photography you do. I love fine art/glamour photography, but I do mainly commercial work. I get jobs through a graphics designer I know, but maybe you could put an ad locally for work.
http://sfbay.craigslist.org/ is a good place to do that. It has free advertising in every major city.
Sorry I'm not much help here, but I'm just kind of starting out, too.
Hope some of that was useful. :-/
