[QUOTE=blarghith;52406331]Thanks for the feedback, man. I really don't have many willing subjects for portraiture right now. As it is, I have had falling outs with six of my best friends in the last year. The sixth one, by the way, just abruptly decided he didn't want to be my friend anymore. Fine, whatever.
Also, self-portraits are pretty much out of the question, as I have little to no self esteem right now. I'm trying to work things out the best I can...[/QUOTE]
Go out in the streets, or neighbourhood, ask if you can do portraits. It might take a bit more effort if you're an introverted person, but it helps you to find subjects and models. And you can always find interesting subjects on the streets.
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere
Find a certain theme, start a project. Like farmers, men and women in uniform, old folks, people with different fashion etc.

It's funny, I TECHNICALLY don't live in the middle of nowhere, but my town is pretty freakin small and I feel like I've photographed the entire town like, a billion times by now.
I was trying to go out on the street and ask for some portraits, but being as introverted as I am, I broke out in a cold sweat and...ran away.
And then I had this idea for a self-portrait series where I dress up as different characters and photograph myself. And...then I realized that:
a.)I have no room in my house to do that
and
b.)It sounded really stupid
I'll figure things out.

As played as the idea probably is I'd love to go around my city and photograph some of the more interesting people.

Is it gonna be paid work?[/QUOTE]
I believe that PPIHC owns the rights to any image taken at their event, whether you're media or just a spectator, so I can't sell specific images, I guess I could take a flat rate for the whole event. I told him I'd probably do it for no pay because I just need to get my foot in the door somewhere and a media pass is cheaper than a spectator ticket so I'd actually save money. I don't think anyone would pay a 20 year old kid with a camera and no website or any "professional" work portfolio.

Do inquire about pay, just because you consider yourself novice doesn't mean your time and effort should be given away. Unless you legally can't get paid for these images

I think a flat rate is all I can do, but I have to check. I would have no idea what to charge. I'll try and build a portfolio over the next year so I have some basis for what work I am capable of, get a bit of a name. If I established some sort of motorsports related work sample, I could probably get a media pass without even needing a team "sponsor" and just be freelance. I talked to a photographer there who said he doesn't even have a website and he got a media pass, but he was associated with a friend who was driving.

A flat rate is fine, even if it's very little money it's worth it for the portfolio-building aspect. But working for a little less than you deserve is ALWAYS a better option than working for free because the client understands that you're providing a service with some sort of value.
Also, see if you can't find a way to cozy up to them in the mean time. They'll be much more eager to provide you what you want if you can show them you're a friendly dude who's genuinely interested. I know so many artists who get jobs without even putting a portfolio together just because they're in the right network of people.

I didn't have my camera with me, just my phone, so this photo isn't the best it could have been. The sky looked amazing.

Not really how copyright law works
[QUOTE=codenamecueball;52408228]Not really how copyright law works[/QUOTE]
what does this mean
"All media (including images, photos, video footage, and audio recordings) and intellectual property rights related to or associated with PPIHC and PPIHC events (collectively, “Media”), including the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb auto race (the “Race”), belongs to PPIHC, and is wholly reserved in perpetuity to PPIHC and its licensees.

edit:
also says this
"The PPIHC owns all rights for videos/photos that are taken and/or captured by
spectators.
• Spectators cannot resell any videos/photos."

Ask people who do motoring photography how much they charge per hour, then lower it down to a price you feel its reasonable they will accept.
Never sell yourself short, many instances people sell themselves short when it comes to doing photography as a job. Your pictures could be used in major motoring magazines and you might just regret.
