What Does your Flickr Name Say about you?

Photography: Giant Gingko Join Flickr and even before you get down to selecting images, organizing sets and adding tags, you’ll be asked to choose a username. It shouldn’t be a task that demands too much effort. After all, image-lovers are coming to see your photos, not look at the label you’ve chosen for your Flickr stream. And [...]

Can Crowdsourcing Make you a Better Photographer?

Photography: Matthew Field At this moment, thousands of people in Brooklyn and beyond are curating a photography exhibition. They’re not pulling on white gloves and checking prints for blemishes. Nor are they placing photos at the foot of walls and trying to figure out where they should go. They’re logging in to the Brooklyn Museum’s website [...]

Creating Narrative Photo Books

It’s an odd sort of paradox. The easier it is to show images online, the greater the demand to see them in print. It’s as though photographers have come to feel that while anyone can upload an image, only a real photographer gets to see his or her photos on paper. That’s true even if [...]

The Day I Sold My First Photo — Three Photographers’ Stories

What’s Wrong With Microstock?

There’s been some sniggering going on lately. We’ve heard it. It came from some parts of the established photography industry, from the people who have traditional photography jobs, people who only deal with professionals and who only supply images for major publishers. When they heard that Lucky Oliver, a microstock site, was shutting down, they couldn’t [...]

The Secrets of Successful Stock Photography

Photography: Elena Elisseeva One of the most impressive things about professional photography is the range of people who take it up. From teenagers skipping college and shooting bands between trips to exotic locations, to former surf fans who have found a way to turn a couple of hobbies into a one full-time job, the background of [...]

When you Shouldn’t Sell with your Flickr Stream

We’re always impressed when we hear about people who have sold images through Flickr. It happens so often that we really shouldn’t be, but because the site wasn’t designed for commercial use it’s always remarkable to find that buyers and sellers have come together without either side taking any great efforts to make it happen. [...]

The Challenge of Product Photography

Photography: Robert House There’s a tension in professional photography. On the one hand, taking pictures is a creative profession. There’s no limit to the degree of artistry you can squeeze out of a camera, especially when you combine it with the power of Photoshop and a little imagination. There are few things more satisfying than looking [...]

Shooting for the Stars

Photography: Jerry Lodriguss and John Martinez There are a million and one reasons to try to generate income from photography. The amount of money you can earn is certainly one of them. With skill, talent and determination, the sums you can pick up depend only on you. But there’s a much better reason for attempting to [...]

What Are you Saying about your Photos?

Photography: amanky In the photography industry, it’s natural to let the images do the talking. If you want to show a client what you can do and how you can do it, you needn’t do any more than hand over your portfolio or direct them to your website. When the product is right in front of [...]

How Good Photography Ideas Can Go Bad

Every great photograph starts the same way: as a flash of inspiration in a photographer’s mind. Whether it comes during a shoot, while flicking through a photography magazine or while you’re driving through the countryside, your most important tool for capturing an image is always your imagination. But you can’t show people what you’re thinking, so [...]

The Challenges of Portrait Photography and How to Overcome Them

Photography: Marius Necula Just about every photographer does it at some point. After taking pictures of the view, a flower, some clouds and the cat, eventually the lens of their first camera will be turned towards a face. And then begins a mission that can last a lifetime: to capture an entire personality in one image. There [...]

The Most Photogenic Out-of-the-Way Places on Flickr and How to Earn From Them

Photography: Kris B There are few photography jobs more attractive than travel photography. And there are few specialties harder to break into. The costs of sending a photographer flying around the world to take pictures are so enormous and so hard to justify for most publishers — especially when they can often find a local to [...]

Photography Niches You Never Considered

We like niches. With entry into paid photography now as simple as buying a decent DSLR (as well as a willingness to practice, an understanding of the market and, of course, a love of the art), selling images has never been more competitive. Creating your own specialty — or specialties, because you can have more than [...]

Use your Photoshop Skills to Solve Murders

Photography by Ryan Gessner It’s a scene found in every cop show. The detective takes a photo of the crime scene to the police department’s technician. The technician blows it up using a piece of super-slick software, spots a blurry anomaly in an area the size of a pixel, tells the cop where he can find [...]

Chasing Down Image Thieves to Hand out Free Stock Photos

Just how bad is online image theft? If the results recorded by PicScout, a technology company tracking images across the Web for clients that include Jupiter Images, Getty and Corbis, are to be believed, the situation is very bad indeed. An incredible nine out of ten of the photos that its Image Tracker program finds on [...]

Creating the Perfect Portfolio

One of the most important rules for shooting professional-quality images has always been to take a lot of pictures and do it often. Digital photography has made that easier. Memory cards are cheap, reusable and can squeeze in far more photos than a roll of film ever could. There’s no hanging around in the darkroom [...]

Unusual Photography Business Niches

Once upon a time, creating a photography business was pretty straightforward. You loaded up on equipment, rented or built a studio, then marketed your services to ad firms, engaged couples and anyone else who might need a photographer. In your spare time, you dragged your camera to scenic spots, sports grounds or anywhere else you [...]

Blurb Offers $25,000 for the Best Self-Published Photography Book

Photography Courtesy of Blurb Digital imaging has changed photography in all sorts of ways but perhaps one of the most surprising has been its effect on photography books. The fact that anyone can now upload their photos to the Internet and show them to everyone who wants to view them hasn’t harmed the appeal of seeing [...]

Making the Most of Local Businesses

Photography: BostonBill When you can sell an image license to someone you’ve never met who’s living in a country you’ve never heard of so that he can use it in a publication you’ll never see, it’s easy to forget that the traditional way of doing business has always been to sell to the people around you. That [...]

Selling your Images with Amazon

Log into Amazon at the moment, and on the front page, you won’t just find the usual list of recommended products that you probably don’t want. You’ll also see a homely-style photograph of a cake in the shape of a Kindle. We don’t know if Amazon paid for that photograph (although we suspect it didn’t). We [...]

Finding Freebies

Photography by: Kalandrakas Usually, the debate about free products in photography centers on the use of Creative Commons licenses. Amateurs love them because they get their images distributed across the Web and beyond. Professionals, for the most part, hate them because they lower the price of images to a level they can’t compete against and let [...]

What to Consider When Choosing a Photographic Niche

It’s probably the most powerful strategy any photographer can choose. Decide to specialize in a particular type of photography and you can reduce the competition, build a brand and focus your marketing. You’ll find it much easier to land — and keep — buyers and you’ll grow into an expert not just on your field of [...]

Self-Limiting Behavior Patterns That Stop you Selling your Photos

At Photopreneur, we believe that anyone with the talent and skill to create good quality photos can sell those photos. But we know that not everyone does. There are all sorts of reasons for that — that the pictures might not be good enough or commercial enough — are just two. Often though, the fault lies not [...]

Photographing a Demonstration

Photography: Philippe Leroyer A lot has been said about citizen journalism. With everyone packing a digital camera in their pocket — even if it’s only a 2 megapixel iPhone — when something unexpected occurs there are likely to be far more amateur photographers on the scene than professional photojournalists. In practice though, it rarely happens. You’d have [...]

CutCaster Creates an Efficient Photography Marketplace

A photograph is just like a bar of soap. You might not be able to wash your hands with it and you wouldn’t want to take one into the shower with you but an image, like anything else that’s bought and sold, is a commodity. It has a price that someone is prepared to pay [...]

7 Signs That You Should be a Professional Photographer

The decision to move from talented amateur to professional photographer isn’t an easy one. There’s a big difference between shooting what you like, when you like it because you like it, and shooting what people tell you to shoot because you need to pay the bills. The work can be hard, the clients difficult to find, [...]

International NGOs Turn to Flickr

Photography: Heine Pedersen/Danish Red Cross Flickr is a place to show your photos, to see the work of other photographers and to learn about photography. It’s also, we’ve discovered, a place where photographers can sell their pictures. And it’s become a location where businesses use images to show what’s happening behind the scenes, build a closer relationship with [...]

What to Consider When Charging for your First Sale

It’s a story we come across time and time again when we talk to amateur photographers who have sold their photos. They’re thrilled to have made the sale. They’re flattered to have been asked. They’re as proud as a peacock to see their photo in print. But the fee? That’s a whole other tale. “It was not [...]

The Strangest Accessories for your Camera

If there’s one message that we keep hearing again and again from successful photographers, it’s that cameras don’t take great pictures, great photographers do. And if there’s one message that we hate hearing from buyers it’s that they want photos shot with cameras that cost more than a house and which can pick up enough detail [...]

U&I is the Photo Magazine for You and Me

Photography: Courtesy U&I Magazine Showing your photos to the public these days takes nothing more than an Internet connection and a website. Of course, you still have to let people know you’re there, but photographers no longer need to rely on agents, publishers and gallery owners to display their work. That easy access to exhibition though carries [...]

Showing your Photos in Art Galleries

Photography: Lili Vieira de Carvalho In this blog, we’ve come across people who have exhibited their work in a number of different ways. Brandy asked a café owner to display her photography and sold an image on the first day they went up. Jeremy Mason McGraw persuaded a friend to open her home for an exhibition [...]

Sacha Dean Biyan’s iPhone Portfolio

For any photographer today, an online portfolio has become as standard a marketing tool as a stack of business cards and a long list of happy clients. Even Leroy French, a veteran underwater photographer who has been shooting for more than fifty years, told us that today much of his work comes in through his [...]

22 Joint Venture Ideas for Photographers

Photography is a pretty lonely business. Usually, it will just be you, your camera and perhaps an assistant or two, and that’s all you need. When it comes to marketing though, you can use all the help you can get. Here are 22 ideas to boost your marketing power with a partnership. 1. Team [...]

What You (Probably) Don’t Know About Digital Photography… And Should

Photography: net_efekt For many people, the differences between digital cameras and film cameras are clear: there’s no film, memory cards are reusable and you get the results right away. What more do you need to know? In fact, it helps to know quite a bit. There are a number of facts that look small but actually have [...]

12 Things to Photograph Before You Die

You’ll photograph lots of subjects and reel off tens or even hundreds of thousands of images before you lay down your camera for the last time. Some of those pictures will be memorable; a few will serve as milestones in your life. One or two might even change it. Here are twelve subjects we think you [...]

Shooting the Surf

Photography: Sean Davey Ask someone where they’d rather be right now, and there’s a good chance that you’ll hear a description of golden sands, blue seas and warm sunshine. Ask a photographer the same question and you’ll probably get the same answer — and a long discussion about the camera equipment they’d like to take with [...]

Making It as a Travel Photographer

Photography: Jeremy Mason McGraw Make a list of the most desirable jobs in photography and there’s a good chance that travel photography would come close to the top. Make a list of the toughest jobs to land in photography and flying around the world, staying in exclusive hotels and shooting beautiful locations would hold about the [...]

How to Shine on Zazzle

There must be something wrong with Zazzle. It’s easy to use. It’s free to open a store. And its products look like the sort of things you can find in every shopping mall across the country. But while you don’t have to look far to find a mall store owner making a living — if not [...]

Photographers Who Still Use Film

Photography: stitch With even Polaroid dropping production of its instant film, it really does look like the end of the road for analog photography. Or does it? More than three-quarters of US-based professional photographers who took part in a survey at the end of 2007 said they would continue to use film photography for at least some projects, [...]

Pixish Lets Photographers Help Buyers

One of the biggest frustrations for photographers is knowing you have a hard drive full of valuable images which no one ever gets to see. Sure, you could upload some of them to a Flickr stream and you could submit the commercial photos to a microstock site, but neither of those options guarantees either views [...]

What We Can Learn from the Botanica Magnifica

Screenshot from BotanicaMagnifica.com According to the hype, it’s a work of art and science comparable to Audubon’s “Birds of North America.” Printed on double elephant-size paper (the same type that Audubon used to show pelicans on a 1:1 scale) photographer Jonathan M. Singer’s “Botanica Magnifica” stretches over five volumes and depicts some of the world’s rarest [...]

Get Paid to Play with Cars and Cameras

Photography: Andreas Reinhold There’s only one thing better than making money from a hobby. Making money from two hobbies. That might sound as though it’s twice as hard but combining photography with a second interest can open the sort of niche opportunities that let photographers stand out in the market and win sales. And it doubles the fun too. Andreas [...]

Attributor Hopes to Make Picture Thieves Pay

It might be flattering. It could even make you proud… at least for a minute or two. But finding that one of your images has been copied and pasted onto someone else’s website without your permission is always infuriating. That’s especially true when that site is generating income. The fact that it’s not easy to discover when [...]

Troy Paiva’s Lost America, Discovered Niche

Photography: Troy Paiva It’s clear that the low cost of digital cameras and the marketing power of the Internet have created new opportunities for photography enthusiasts. Not only can almost anyone now use professional-grade equipment to create sellable images, they can also make those images available to buyers through stock sites, Flickr streams, Blurb books and [...]

Mounting your own Photography Art Exhibition

Photography: Jeremy Mason McGraw When we got in touch with Jeremy Mason McGraw, we wanted to know how he managed to break into one of photography’s toughest niches: travel photography. What we didn’t expect was a second lesson in becoming an art photographer. Although Jeremy makes his living traveling around the world and shooting luxury hotels for [...]

Can a Balloon Inflate your Photography Income?

Photography: Brex Think of aerial photography and you might imagine someone leaning out of a helicopter shooting migrating wildebeest for National Geographic. That could be fun but those jobs don’t come along very often and fortunately, it’s not the only way to take pictures from the air. Hanging your camera from a balloon might be a lot [...]

Are Your Pictures Ready To Sell?

Photography: ssh So you’ve done the shoot, downloaded the images and archived the best onto your hard drive. Now you’re already dreaming of how you’re going to spend the money when your pictures hit the market. If only that was all it took. Before you can make your images available for sale there are a number of things [...]

Make More Money as a Photography Assistant

Photography: Zuan In this blog, we like to look at some of the new and less conventional methods of earning money through photography. But that doesn’t mean we have anything against the traditional photography business. It might be harder to get into — and most importantly, it might not suit everyone, especially part-timers — but the old-fashioned [...]

What It Takes to Get Your Photo on the Flickr Explore Page

Photography: law_keven For many photographers, a place on Flickr’s Explore page is the ultimate prize. It’s an acknowledgment that their work can stand among the best on the site, that it is indeed “interesting,” and that they are an important part of the community. And of course, it can bring a massive surge of views to their [...]
