Being photographer
Many years I'm making photos.
As a background i have a perfect high education at the univercities art department. Together with my practical experience that means that I can build a proper composition of a shot... at least ))
But my photography never gave me any good income, despite the fact that as a photographer I am represented on all the leading photo stocks. People who got a success often say - "Be generous and give others your resources whenever possible." So, finally I decided to share my photo works with people on one famous platform where everyone can find completely free content.
More than 1 year ago I started to do that. At the moment I have more than 5mlns views, 26.6k downloads and few hundreds of likes there. That stats shows that my works are really useful for people and they willingly download them for their needs. It would seem that people should be grateful to the author for free using his work, and fortunately, the resource has a "donation" option. So at the moment I got 3dollars and 50cents as a reward for my work - uploading more than 1000photos and videos (I am not speaking here about producing that stuff).
People are strange, seriously! And to be a creator more a curse than a blessing.
