Shooting The Picture: All things considered, the best Camera for shooting stock pictures around farms is a 4 x 5 Graflex Super D. The stock picture agencies have a preference for 4 x 5 negatives, and the notable tendency of animals to move around rather than to pose quietly makes a reflex Camera the most practical device for shooting them.
For the mechanics of selling to stock picture agencies, including where and how to submit, see Chapter .The advantages to the buyer are obvious. Does it seem like a bad arrangement for the photographer? At first glance it might seem so, but when this same picture is sold over and over, perhaps fifty times in the course of years, the photographer eventually realizes a handsome total return for his effort in shooting the picture for stock sales. That's why the stock picture photographer doesn't get rich quick, but enjoys a long-term income advantage for his work. Many a picture has earned, over a period of years, more than $1,000 in fees.
Any picture story which reminds you of something in your own experience should give you the inspiration to repeat that same story, shooting its parallel which exists in your own world. If your experience is so limited that published picture stories do not suggest parallels to you, there is something you can do about that, too. |
