Armed with a passion for photography and a cheap 10 mega pixel digital camera, I found myself in one of those life-changing situations that opens one's mind to so many different opportunities that I was literally left stunned and speechless.
Whilst taking photos of local graffiti art located along my local train line, I was approached by a gentleman who politely asked if he might be able to purchase some of my photos.
Is there a market in selling normal, everyday shots? How do you go about contacting people who are willing to pay for photos are how do I let people know that I have photos for sale? What are the legalities of selling photos to another person? It seems some research was needed as a basic Google searches were unable to turn anything up. 1. Special training and expensive equipment are not necessarily required to be successful within this industry. in fact a cheap digital camera or even a mobile phone with an average digital camera will be more than adequate.
Examples of photos that are selling are pictures of different countries flag, stock photos of old and rusted cars or even landscape shots are proving very popular among photo buyers.
The hardest part of breaking into this industry is knowing where to look for potential buyers and alternatively where to upload your photos to gain the right amount of exposure. The photographs that you sell will more often than not remain yours which means that you retain ownership of the photographs and will forever retain the rights to reproduce and license the picture to others.
