If you, like me, want a steady stream of money for doing practically nothing then i suppose reading this post would do you some good. Since you are here, I assume that you love taking pictures and that you occasionally have come up with a masterpiece. If none of those other money making techniques are working for you or aren’t giving you enough consistent results then you might want to sell your photos to stock photography websites. This is how this works, a stock photography website generally charge webmasters,designers, graphic editors, magazine editors ( web magazines, the print ones hire their own guy i guess ), small business owners and basically anyone in need for great pictures a membership fee (from smaller websites taking 20-30$ a month to larger ones charging upto 400$ a month). After a membership has been bought they are free to download royalty free images from the website for the entire month (though, generally theres a limit). So how are you paid? Well, for every image of yours people download you get a commission, somewhere between 20-40 cents. And you are paid at the end of each month. as simple as that. The more images you upload the more you can earn, and better they are the more they are downloaded.So while you improve your photography skills, you make a lot of money, enough to buy you a few lenses now and then. Catch? Well there are none really, only thing is once you have uploaded your picture to the website and a paid member has downloaded them, he can freely do what he wants with it without giving you royalty ( hence the name royalty free ). Though you can remove a photo if you chose not to sell it anymore. Though i have tried many royalty free stock photography, there are few that stand right out, for their transparent procedures, quick approval rates ( highly needed if you can produce 2 good images a day), good commission rate per image. One such thing i have had great success with is ShutterStock. They charge webmasters and others a rate of 199$ a month and have a limit of 25 images a day (750 per month) and they give you, the photographers 0.25$ per image. Thats not all, like a regular job, you get promotions too, if people love your snaps, and download more you will get 0.30$ per image. that is once you made 500$ (2000 downloads) then you get 5cents more per snap. You can get paid via moneybrokers, paypal or a regular cheque. Oh almost forgot, you can also upload your digital clips/footage from your camera and make money from it. Not to forget their referral scheme which rewards you to recommending them to other photographers and buyers. So what are you waiting for already? click here now and make your hobby and pass time into a regular cash flow. Do read their FAQ and Do’s and Dont’s before submitting pictures. We all hate plagiarism and they are fairly serious about copyright issues. So be original, click away your way through loads of money. The Nut www.thephotographynut.com

04/11/2008 09:58 AM British MP for photographers rights, about time. If there was one thing that got me riled up about politics it would be rights and censorship. This has been big in the photography community for the past few years as governments crack down on photographers and their ability to record history with a simple push of a button. In Britain it has been particularly [...] 03/30/2008 09:02 PM How to: Shoot using a grey card Being that I am a colour blind photographer, a lot of the photos I was taking had strange colour casts that I couldn’t really explain.

Many Photographer approach their photography purely as a calling, and their goal is to change the world by making pictures that reveal poverty, despair, suffering, and the human condition. These photographers believe that making money for these types of assignments is contrary to that effort, but nothing could be farther from the truth. If this [...] 02/11/2008 09:57 AM 40th anniversery for a very famous photo Jan. 30, 1968: North Vietnam’s Tet offensive brought fighting into the U.S. Embassy in Saigon.
