HOW TO START
  • Do you know what stock photography is?
  • Do you like to do photo shots?
  • Are you venturesome person?
  • Do you want to do favorite job and earn money?
  • Are you ready to decide to favorite job whole life?

If you answered positive on any of these questions, then this is for you. Stock photography – this is selling of your photos through special internet sites called photobanks, where buyers are designers and other persons interested in fresh and quality photos. You are getting percents from photos which are sold. You don’t need more to search for clients, bid photos, ask to buy. All what you need is just to do many good shots. The rest will be handled by your photobank site. One more advantage of stock photography – one single your photo can be bought hundreds or even thousands times. Most important here for you is to do quality and interesting photo. You can ask me, what stock photography personally given to me? First, by working with photobanks I learned to take better and more quality shots, learned to do better post processing of shots. Most important here to do analysis of own photos, learn photos of another authors. And not in any case to don’t leave this business in case of first failure. First six months I have worked all days and all nights. There were a moments when I thought to forget about this business. But I survived. Now I’m better. I’m engaged in favorite business and earning not bad. But for me all is ahead. There is no limit in stock photography!!! Collaboration with photobanks I can compare with fire. First you need to kindle the fire, but when fired, you sitting in warm and enjoying with life. But no need to forget about your fire, you need constantly to add firewood, otherwise your fire can go out.

Second, before I have asked myself: how good I’m as a photographer? How good is my photos? Maybe photography this is not my business? Lot of peoples searching answers on these questions by placing own works on different photo sites. I also did similar. But alack! If I’m abused me or some compliments to me, this not added any benefits to me. But on photobanks with good analysis of my photos and earning results – I really started to shot better. Stock photography learning to do best photos and learning to be disciplined.

Third, I have started to earn money on my hobby. You can ask: how much you can earn? I can answer easy: Too much! All depends on you. This is not easy money, here need to work. But all depends only from you!!!

Fourth, thanks to photobanks I meet lot of interesting peoples from the entire world. Mostly they are photographers and designers. Now we communicating, supporting each other. What can be better?

This is main photobanks where I’m working:

I will not provide any recommendation how to work on stocks. This is even not needed. Just start to work, do analyze your actions and results, and you start to understand what and how to shot. Do photos of everything you like, but think before press the shutter release button. Create your own unique shots, and don’t copy another authors. Easily realize your ideas. If you have failure, just stand up and go next. And then all will be good! I’m promising you that. Don’t afraid hardships and mature photographs. Maybe you are better!

Just go to photobanks, register, and start to upload your photos. I’m guarantee, you will like this process.
