Hello all,
I'm Jarim, a 23 year old freelance photographer looking to travel. A friend recently told me about steemit and I was instantly intrigued. About a year ago I quit my job working at an electrical contracting company to pursue my own dream of being a creative. I had spent far too long rotting away in a cubicle allowing my creativity dwindle. Unfortunately, I didn't exactly have a plan before deciding to throw 8 years of experience and a steady paycheck down the drain. Ended up selling my car, moving out of my apartment, and submitting to a life of minimal consumption. Since then, I spend most of my time taking pictures around town and trying to get out as much as I can afford. I'd love to be able to travel but have a hard time selling myself and my work despite my capabilities. I just find it difficult to put a price on my art and prefer to spend the majority of my time taking photos and perfecting my post-processing rather than peddling prints. In fact, I'd love to hire someone with experience selling prints to sell my work for me. On commission, because I'm practically penny-less. I'm hoping to find an outlet here in the steem community and can't wait to see what is possible!
Here are some recent Macro shots as well as a moon photo taken through a telescope. In case you are wondering, the watermark says shmarim which is my instagram handle. Enjoy! Advice, comments, questions... are all appreciated.
More to come soon...
Great photos welcome
I appreciate the warm welcome! Thank you.
Nice shoots. Amazing closeupp photos.
Keep up the good work mate :)
Thank you for the support!
great macros. what's your favorite macro lens?
I've actually been using a clip on macro adapter with a 50mm 1.4. However, I usually set the aperture between 5-7 because of how shallow the depth of field is at lower settings.
Can’t believe how long ago this was! What a amazing community!
Hey anthonyj! Welcome to Steemit. I really dig your work, particularly the second and second-to-last photos. I've had more success with posting one photo at a time but a range is a good introduction too! I look forward to seeing what else you share.
Appreciate the kind words! Excited to post more of my work! I'll be sure to put up some more photos shortly.
Very nice photos, thank you for share with us
My pleasure!
Yeah, Great works!
Thank you! More to come soon!
Wow, this is very impressive. Inspiration right off the bat. Thanks.
I would love your photos as my computer background, anyway to get my hands on some good rez?
I typically sell full size digital versions for $75 but I wouldn't feel right charging that for a desktop background. I'll see if I can upload some HD watermarked versions and shoot you a link.
These are amazing, I'm going to follow you.
Really great stuff anthonyj Keep it up
Thank you. I truly appreciate it!
