Right to the point, how did you get started making money?
Firstly, a critique of my photos would be much appreciated. I'm very interested to know if I am at a level to where I am able to start charging. At this point I still think I am not, both due to skill and not having my name out there. I'd be thankful for any tips here.

Past that, how do I get started? I do believe that shooting for individuals will never get me in the black, I have to look to magazine features/racing team promos/track features, etc., basically taking gigs more fora client's business than for pleasure. I could contact some local tracks and see if they would me have some special access (Circuit of the Americas is pretty local), but that might be unlikely unless I specifically talk to one of the racing teams and get extremely lucky. Contacting some local car clubs to shoot the members vehicles for clubhouse photos or something like that might be viable as well.
Also, as far as releases go, do I need some sort of "model" release for automobiles? I would think not, but there's a reason I'm asking.
