Charlottechicken Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 Just asking if any amateur photographers out there sell their photos online. I have a few pictures I think could be worth a couple of quid, I'm not after megabucks (and I can't compete with the professionals who can command £40 a picture), but don't want to sell for 10p either. I'm not prepared to sell the copyright either. Anyone had any experience of this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I've been tempted and looked briefly into it but didn't go for anything in the end. Will be interested to hear though. Assume you just put them on a stock image site and wait for someone who wants to use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seagazer Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 My DD has been thinking about it. She takes hundreds of photos and some are very good. She often enters them into online competitions. I'd also be interested to know how you get on but we have no experience of it so far. There are quite a few companies online that you can sell them through.

Alis girls Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Is there a market for pictures of people with no heads then? Must look into this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Is there a market for pictures of people with no heads then? Must look into this I tried to steer my son in this direction but to no avail - if you could make money out of moaning he'd be a millionaire by now I'll have a look at that link and see if i can help him to become motivated.

C&T Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 A friend looked into it once, and couldn't do it as their camera just wasn't good enough, and he would have had to have gone out and bought a more expensive camera. Pictures were great, and may well have sold, but the resolution (?) wasn't high enough or something?? (not very camera literate - sorry!! ) Yours may well be fine - but worth checking.

Charlottechicken Posted February 11, 2011 Author Share Posted February 11, 2011 Thanks for the thoughts and the links, especially the bit about the resolution, I'll look into it when I have more time. I've been warned away from the sites which offer just 10p for photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
