Yes, that's true. Most movies are based on ancient stories. Learning new things by reading books, watching movies or travelling is nice. Life has so many things to teach us every single day.
Have you sold photos on Shutterstock?

Yeah, that's how it is. Have you watched any African movie before?. This is because most of the movies talks about our ancient stories.
I never plan to sell my photos. They will be paid very small but the site receives good pay from interested buyers. I think it is not good to sell our pictures. They are about our personal selves. What are they going to do with the photos?
I love Africa but I am not sure if I have ever watched any African movies before. It is nice to hear that most of the movies are about ancient stories. I will search for them on YouTube. I think that I will find a lot of African movies there.
There was a period I became interested to sell my landscapes photos I take with my mobile to Shutterstock. But after knowing some colleagues of mine faced rejections one after another and the refusal reason, I quitted the idea. There is a need of a professional photo equipment and such a stuff is very expensive. Photos taken with a mobile face great chances to be rejected. As I'm not a professional photographer yet working in my own atelier, better if the photographer counts on years of experience, I thought the risk being so much greater than the reward.
Good, I hope you are going to enjoy African movies. I have seen a few people from other continents enjoying them.
I am sure that I am going to enjoy African movies. I will search for them on YouTube and I will watch them during the weekend with my family when we all have a lot of free time.
This is the reality of any business based on selling photos. You could for example find yourself one day a sponsor of a beauty product that you have never purchased in another country. The production companies of other countries will pay them hundreds of dollars to add to photoshop tricks while they will pay you 0.39 $ per photo which is a slave itself.
He sells your photo to a company for 100 $ and pay you 1 $ that is how do they earn so this is not fair that giving 1 % to you in all cases like you are a beggar or something like that.
That's unfair, I don't think they should be paying this low and this won't motivate anyone
Selling of pictures to sites like this is a really good way to make money as a photographer. I wish I know how to handle a camera but I have a lot doing
I have never search for sites like this, but if the pay is not good there are some other ways to make money from photography other than waisting time there
