I've been dreaming about earning some amount of money out of photography for some time and I am jumping into any possibilities that might prove valuable afterwards.
Recently, I found one of my high school mates after ~30 years and found out that he's making a living out of photography. That reunion made me think of this harder and I've been looking for opportunities that might be a reference later.
About a month ago, there was Ankara Jazz Festival and there were some free concerts at a couple of revenues. One of these places was Next Level shopping mall. That night I sneaked in and the security people, seeing my camera let me right in front of the stage and I started shooting. After some time a beautiful lady came and told me she is the manager of the shopping mall and asked me whether I was a pressman. I told her I was but it was obvious that I was lying. She let me took a couple pictures and told me I have to leave.
Than we started talking and she told me the shopping mall will be willing to let me work freely if I share the photographs later and I accepted.
The next performer was an Italian jazz band called Funk Off. The interesting thing about Funk Off was they play and walk and dance at the same time and they do not perform on a stage.
We were waiting for the group (they started playing before entering the shopping mall) when I spotted this lady. She was beautiful in front of the strong light of the setting sun and I couldn't help myself and shooting secretly. I guess she was involved with the organisation as the group members seem to knew her. Ankara Jazz Association was the organizer of the festival and think she is a member. Later on I spoke to her and told her about her photo and when I came back home, shared the image with her, too.
Now I started to bug the Public Relationships Department of another shopping mall and started trying to get access into another series of concerts. Some day, I'll be asking for some money as well.
