It's December 12th, 2008, and this is The Candid Frame.

Welcome to another episode of The Candid Frame.

Today's guest is Jim Zuckerman.

And Jim is a photographer who I've gotten to know over the last several years from both reading his articles in magazines such as Shutterbug magazine, but also from working alongside

with him at workshops and the online classes that we both teach at betterphoto.com.

But what's of interest to me about Jim is not only his photographs, which are amazing, he has

an incredible selection of images on his website. He's incredibly diverse.

He has landscapes, wild lifes, people photography, nudes, conceptual stuff. He's all over the

place, but what's really cool about his stuff is that not only does he have a whole variety

of his stuff, but all the stuff

is amazingly consistent for their quality. But one of the things that I wanted to talk to

with Jim was much less about creating photography itself, but how to make a living from your

images, from actually going out there, taking these

pictures and selling them and finding a market for them. I thought that our conversation with

Jim would help provide an insight into how you need to approach it in order to make that dream

a reality. I have to admit, I learned some things myself from listening to this interview,

and I think you will as well. So sit back and enjoy our conversation with Jim Zuckerman.

Well, welcome to The Candid Frame, Jim. It's a pleasure to have you on the show.

Well, thank you. Thanks for having me.

You know, I've been following your work ever since I came on board with a better photo,

and I've been a little big admirer of the photography that you produce,

and also just your amazing abilities as a teacher and as a presenter.
