Sell Your Digital Photos Online
If you want to start your own business in freelance digital photography then there are a number of ways that you can get started and sell your digital photos online.
1. Sell Photos at Stock Photography Web Sites
One of the best ways to sell digital photos online is to sell your photography at stock photography web sites.
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. You can sell stock photos online through a number of popular stock agencies and microstock photography sites such as Alamy and iStockPhoto.
2. Sell Photos at Your Own Web Site
Another good way is to sell your photographs online is to have your own web site. These days it doesn’t cost much to start up our own site and then you can use it to showcase your best work. For just a few dollars a month you can have your own “online showroom” and sell your photos directly to clients who are eager to purchase good photography.
3. Market Your Photography at Photo-Sharing Sites
There are many photo-sharing sites on the web, such as the popular Flickr. Together the top 10 sites are said to receive around 50 million visitors every month.
The primary purpose of photo-sharing sites is to enable users to upload, share, search, view, rate, tag and comment on uploaded photographs. Keep in mind that at social networking sites most users are not selling their photos, they are just sharing them. But many of the good photographers at photo sharing sites have been approached by people who want to license the images.
The secret to selling your photography using photo-sharing sites is to make it clear on your pages that licenses for your images are available for purchase.
That is just a few of the ways you can start selling your photos. If you love photography then a career as a freelance photographer is well worth considering and offers a great lifestyle.

Though the collaboration is about babies–the liner notes to this CD provide a sneak peek at Geddes’ visual wizardry available in both the expa… |

Somewhere in Time (Collector’s Edition) $3.79 It’s silly, it’s superficial, it’s so desperately earnest about its tale of time-spanning love that you almost wish for a cheap flatulence gag just to break the solemn mood.

The film has become a staple of romantic-movie lovers since its release in 1980, and endless … |

Photography (Paperback) $205.09 For one or two semester courses in the History of Photography. Mary Warner Marien has constructed a richer and more kaleidoscopic account of the history of photography than has previously been available. Her comprehensive survey shows compellingly how photography has sharpened, if not altered forever, our perception of the world. The book was written to introduce students to photography. It does not require that students possess any technical know-how and can be taught without referring to techniques in photography. Incorporating the latest research and international uses of photography, the text surveys the history of photography in such a way that students can gauge the medium's long-term multifold developments and see the historical and intellectual contexts in which photographers lived and worked. It also provides a unique focus on contemporary photo-based work and electronic media. |
