NFT and photographers

[Lubcub62]

I myself have made NFT from the photos I took myself. the steps are quite easy, just open opensea and connect your wallet. then upload your photos to be used as nft and then determine the supply or how many copies of each of your photos will be used as nft. for complete information, of course the friends above have explained beforehand.

Hi - I am new in NFTs. But I am a self taught photographer. I have seen on Twitter that may photographers are selling their photos in NFT Community.
Can anyone help me how can I do that?
Consider me a naive in NFTs and online selling  - what would be the first step I will do?
Thanking in advance.

Well this is one marketplace that you can sell your photography:

https://opensea.io/

Of course, create an account, then you will also need to have an ETH wallet to connect on your account.

Or better yet you can go here and read everything: https://support.opensea.io/hc/en-us/articles/360063498313-How-do-I-create-an-NFT-

Good luck though, it seems that the whole NFT craze right now is over rated, but who knows maybe someone will be interested on your photos.

Thank you so much - noted.
Thanks to everyone who responded on the thread.

Nft are the best for photographers and in game items, i hope in future every game will use this technology. Since you have full control over your creation, include selling, showing, trading, copyright. For me its smth like property rights in real life.

Let me inquire. Why did you decide to resort to using NFT for your photography work? What is it for you? Did you find out about NFT's hype and decide to take advantage of it like other artists and photographers who sell their works that are not always of artistic value for overprice?

It would be nice to see some of your work here to get an idea of your photography and subject matter.

Not just photographers but also artists in different fields. The sad thing is why do we only choose to use it when the pandemic hits. It was there long ago, a great opportunity for every artists to make money without the use of a middleman. There's a heavy traffic now for photographers who want to make their art as NFT's. Investors are now looking for the most unique thing and that's difficult because you might end up not selling anything while using too much for your capital.

It would be better to just start your own photoshoot business to be honest. Due to how many NFT tokens are there right now, it might be hard for OP to standout amongst the crowd. I am not saying that the market is oversaturated though. There are just way many tokens out there right now and it might take a lot of years for the token to standout or possibly the opposite. If the OP is already an established self-taught photographer, that would suffice enough.

most people feel that the nfts space is overrated, that is hype. but some people are making a fortune out of it. not just photographers but also artists and gammers are also making it. but one should mint pictures into nft(nonfungible tokens) and upload them on the open sea. you can also create a project on social media like Twitter. make proper research about nfts, by making use of youtube videos.

You can follow the instruction on this article

Summarizing the content of the article on creating and selling NFT:
1. Select an NFT Marketplace
2. Set Up a Digital Wallet
3. Create Your Collection
4. Creating Your Digital Arts Token
5. Listing Your Artwork For Sale
6. Promote Your Work On Social Media

Pretty much the article explains these steps, it also gives a brief introduction to NFT.

Now the value of tokens that are associated with famous photos or works of art is in question. Not that trend. The idea of NFT is a bit corrupted by speculators who saw it all as a scheme to pump up the price, giving the token artificial demand and rarity and thus trying to make money on it. The real idea of NFT is not yet realized the way it should be realized. When it does, perhaps there will be room for talented photographers to embody their work in these tokens and it will be truly valued and not seen only as potential speculation on name and fame.

Does anyone have information on rate of trade on Binance NFT collection platform? Although the prices look considerately low compare to last year and expect improvement in valuation. The last period of sale was more on pictures but I expect videos, music and physical arts that can be transported to come into play soon. The over evaluation of NFTs caused the accusation of money laundering which also cant be defended

Very nice pieces of advices for the beginners  in NFT, I was amazed to read the responses of the Sr Members.
This is very motivating and encouraging. Hope OP sorted out what to do. Is there any way one can show his/her NFT art here?

 If you currently have materials to trade in NFTs then the most important thing is that you have to register first at opensea, after you already have an account there then you must also have a wallet that is already connected to the polygon network so that later your NFT sales can be withdrawn easily, in fact in this case you have to read a lot of articles about NFTs to make it easy to do the purpose you want.

If you want to earn from NFT it's not easy because apart from good photos, the Community is also very important. even sometimes the community likes unique things even though it is very ugly and not artsy but they love NFT which is made on the basis of its uniqueness. In addition to being unique, some community members have made NFT their business facility by selling expensive and buying cheap, so if your NFT is cheap, there will be a lot of demand, but it must also be unique.

that's correct. The good master piece sometime is not attractive and buyers buys the piece which is not attractive at all.
They seem over smart to show off their different opinion.
But I read all the suggestions. Very good piece of advices by senior members.
