Making Money from Stock Images
Digital Outback Photo have today published ab article by Byron Jorjorian that will interest anyone who is interested in making some money from their photography by selling them as stock images.
“The images in your files have a value which can be calculated. I like to use a conservative value of $1.00 per image in your files, per year. In other words, if you have 10,000 “marketable” images in your files, they have a potential value of at least $10,000 per year, each year, from here forward. The key word here is “marketable”. This doesn’t necessarily mean a “fine art photograph”. What it does mean is an image that is well exposed, composed and appropriately sharp, with a clear subject. What you are looking for is an interesting image like you might see in a book, magazine, calendar or advertisement.”
