According to a New York Magazine article on salaries, photography has become one of lucrative professions. "As soon as my kid is big enough, I'm putting a camera in her hands, " a former photographer's agent says. "That's where the money is."
Amazingly, photography has been around for almost two hundred years, but it has gained widespread acceptance as an art form only in the past couple of decades.
What determines the value of a photograph? most of the time, an image that is considered unique will be of greater value, as it has the ability to uniquely reflect the world around us and get a look at it from a different angle. But sometimes doing something completely disgusting or normal so that it is impossible to understand why the work is recognized as a masterpiece.
Anyway, these photos were sold for millions of dollars. Start saving up your pennies, if you are interested in...

Actually the vast majority or people will not get rich as photographers.
I checked out some of the works and frankly they are atrocious.The image by Andreas Gursky is absolute trash and many of us would have been embarrassed to even show it.
The trouble with the art world is many know very little about art as demonstrated by someone paying millions for that image. It wouldnt even get into Amateur Photographer.Just goes to show there ar a lot of people with too much money and that theart world is over funded.
But thanks for making me feel good about my own work. It may not be worth millions but it is better than what I just looked at.

Thanks for sharing. Personally I think that whoever paid that kind of money for those images got ripped off badly! :)

I expected some colorful photos but I'm frankly desapointed. I agree with ejn who made a good summary of what I think

I pretty much agree with the majority opinion here. I do not think somebody with more money than sense has to pay millions of dollars for ones photography for it to be art.
