Selling photos for money?

Jack,

You've asked the big question, haven't you?

Do a lot of research first is the first rule. I would not necessarily
recommend selling through a stock agency to start with. Considering that
you are new to the biz, you won't get a fair deal....just how it is if you
do not have the business experience. John Shaw has published a really good
book on getting started (you can find it at Amazon.com) and I think Art
Wolfe and William O'Neill have as well. the Photographer's Market is a good
resource book too.

There are plenty of issues to research before you get started...legal,
financial, copyright, fair pricing (never lowball the market to get a sale),
etc., etc. It's not impossible; I just recommend you do some reading and
planning first. Oh...and you'll need at least 5,000 high-quality images in
your library to start.

Go get 'em and best of luck!

Chris

Hello,

Can anyone share their experiences of selling their photos?

For example, have you sold some of your photos to a company like Getty
Images? How well does it pay? Do you have any regrets? Could you
recommend a good way for a freelance photographer (based in London) to
make
some extra cash by selling a few images?

Thanks,
Jack
