It’s not easy making a living as a stock photographer but it can be done. To make money with your stock photography, include people in your images. This will make shots of locations and landscapes uniquely yours. And don’t forget to have anyone actually captured in your pictures sign a model release. When shooting a scene, always take landscape and portrait images for a variety of angles. Make sure your images have white space where text or headlines can be included.
Key Takeaways:
- Leave dead space in your composition to allow for copy or a headline to be entered.
- Be wary of microstock sites that sell images for mere cents.
- Look for unique locations or consider staying home and shooting locally.
“Including a person can often be what makes your images unique to the thousands of others that already exist. Including a person in the shot also gives the image some context and shows more of an experience rather than just documenting a place.”
