What are the options?
It is important to know a number of things before we get started on this particular subject of selling stock photography. Selling stock photography is not an instant road to profits and overnight success which some photographers will have you believe. It still has its hard yards but having said that once you’ve made your name and understand what the market buys in general, it begins to get easier and more profitable.

Most professional photographers take both types, the weddings and portraits take care of immediate bills, as they command a higher price, because they are generally only of interest to a limited number of people. There are exceptions like being hired for a specific assignment to photograph an Olympic Event, and then being able to sell that photograph Internationally. In general, stock photographs command a lower price, but they are more saleable to a wider base.
