Freelance Photography –
3 Ways to Sell Your Photos
by
Michael Kryzer
If you love
photography then a career as a freelance photographer is well
worth considering. If you want to start a business in freelance
photography there are three main ways to sell your photos.
1. Stock Photography
Stock
photography refers to a stock of existing photographs that can
be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, magazines,
advertising agencies, filmmakers, web designers, and graphic
artists are all examples of users of stock photography. They can
use stock photography instead of hiring a photographer to shoot
the photographs they need.
As a
photographer when you take photographs those photos become a
part of your “stock”. As the copyright holder you can license
the images again and again. Your stock photos can be sold online
through stock agencies and microstock sites, or by approaching
publishers and other users directly, or you can sell them
through your own web site.
2. Photography Products
You
can take your photographs and create products for sale. Some
examples of possible photography products include posters,
prints, postcards, t-shirts and even books.
At
CafePress, for example, you can design a wide variety of
customizable products using your photos with zero upfront costs
and zero inventory investment.
3. Photography Services
Another way to work in freelance photography is sell your
skills, to sell your services as a photographer. In this
capacity you could work on assignment for portraits, for
weddings, or for various types of business project.
If you only want to work part-time at your photography, then
working as a freelance photographer is still a great way to earn
a little extra cash or to pay for your next digital camera or
lens.
