I don't even have clients yet. lol. Since I do mostly street type stuff. But I"m going to try and set it so that people can just order from me and I'll have the prints shipped to them from Bayphoto. Also, thinking about setting up a table at our First Fridays out here in KC. Every first friday of the month in our arts district all kinds of vendors, galleries, musical acts, etc all post up in this district to do their thing. I'm thinking bout setting up a table with prints to sell.

Funny thing is all my photography friends out here that are white are trying to get in these little galleries and crank up there stuff to like $100 for 8x10's. I'm like, my shyt just as good if not BETTER, and I'ma undercut the shyt outta them right on the street. Gotta use guerrilla tactics when you black out here. I don't even announce my plans to they asses no more. LMAO.

I suck at the photo editing, but I like to think my composition is halfway decent.
I'm using the a6000 with the kit lens. I'm looking for a prime lens for my trip to Trinidad next month.
So, here are a few shots, feel free to throw any edits y'all see fit.

I'm still working on my technique

Just checked out your page...

Are you shooting in manual or auto? You're shots outdoors with the sun out are a bit on the bright side. You can get away with turning up shutter speed or upping the aperture to get better detail in those kind of shots, instead of the images looking washed out.

It also looks like you have some dust or a smudge on your sensor.

Other than that, keep on shooting, you'll get better with time.

So, I'm straight manual mode. Haven't touched either of the semiautomatic modes. First few shots was a low Shutter speed, only recently have I been trying to increase it to decrease the motion blur.
I like to keep my aperture wide open, can't seem to find a reason to close it. I've been playing around on the two.

Crank up that Shutter Speed... you have plenty of light to work with, so no need to have it low for these scenarios. The colors are being washed with the exposure being where it is. For example...

Same camera... in similar scenes, just some different settings and processing.
