Making Extra Income Through Retouching?

Hi everyone!I have a BFA in Photography (2014) and my focus was on photo manipulation and photo retouching. Right now I work in the film industry on Movies and TV shows in Props, but I'm looking to gain some extra income though freelance retouching or photo editing. A couple questions for anyone else who dabbles in this:Anyone ever use Upstart before? Anyone have any success with it?My initial thought was to cold call (actually email) photographers in my City/state (mostly wedding photographers) and introduce myself and give them a retouching portfolio/my art portfolio and tell them I'm here if they need help, even if it's just shifting the good from the bad photos in a batch. Good idea, bad idea?I've been looking for some retouching practice raw files online to edit to add to my retouching portfolio, because currently what I have is super old due to me putting all my efforts in my current industry. However, all the ones I can find are strange photos of oversexualized women by motorcycles or awkward fashion shoots and other strange things. I was hoping just to find a batch of unedited wedding photos but alas, nothing came up. Anyone have a good source for this? Something that I don't have to worry about releases for?Also I have a lot of experience with film/photo scanning and I own a film flatbed scanner. Included 35mm, 120mm, 4 x 5 up to 8x10 film/photos. I'm good with fixing up old photos, editing scanned film and coloring bw photos. Is there a market for these skills at all right now? Where's the best place to start?Right now I just use my scanner to scan old Kodachromes I find in thrift stores (which is a blast).Any other advice?Thanks! via /r/photography https://ift.tt/2MLO4yZ
