As your just starting out, one way to help spread your work and get it out there would be self promotion. Say with graphics design, contact some sites and ask if they would be interested in you doing some kind of graphic work for their site in return for them giving you credit for it. Now if you try with big companies, they will likely not need it. However smaller sites that are popular to somewhat-popular they may come closer to accepting. The more sites you get your work on, the more chance you have of getting noticed. Blogs are another outlet to try this type of self promotion with, many bloggers (myself included) would love to have flashy graphics, we just lack that in-depth graphic design skill. Once you get known for your work, people will start contacting you to get graphic work done. Same for the photography, just different outlet sources, could try stores that sell art work or places that sell photography.
