underwater Photo Course :: (10) Promoting Your Work

Photographs are meant to been seen, and that is what this chapter is about.

Even if you are quite happy, for the moment, to keep your work to yourself, eventually friends and relatives will want to see your 'snaps'. Remember that the average person has no idea what it is like to dive and their curiosity will lead to a genuine interest.

There is one very important reason to show your work of course - to get constructive criticism. Positive feedback from people who know about photography really does help you improve.

As your confidence grows, you may want to try other avenues open to you: competitions, presentations, you may even be able to get paid for what you do!
