Freelance photography

So today i wanted to talk about freelance photography, or at least what i know about it. I found a really interesting website which explains what is a freelance photographer exactly and how to sell your work: http://www.thephotoargus.com/freelance/understanding-freelance-photography/. First of all, you need to be very courageous to be 'your own boss', manage to go out of all the troubles without much of a help, plus your work must be pretty strong or you just have to have your own style with different angle of looking at things if you want to be a successful freelancer. To be honest i don't know how good i would be at it, but it is a worth considering thing for every photographer. It could be understood as a highest level of photography as well, but not to everyone. For me, i am more interested in opening my own exhibition somewhere, maybe a gallery or a cafe than trying to sell my photographs to magazines, newspapers or online when a freelancer. Galleries are very expensive and it would cost loads to open your own exhibition starting with around 2000£. There is also another good idea to exhibit your work to the public in a local cafe, pub or a restaurant as well. It wouldn't cost much. Ad there would be many more people who would see your work. Of course, it is important to choose the right location and place for it. I don't want to re-write everything i have found so links are here:
