Stock Picture Agencies: 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 .Picture agencies represent the most stable market for your travel pictures, whether they are stock pictures or picture stories, both of which are discussed in greater detail in later chapters. The needs of the picture agencies are identical with those of the magazines, of course, because the magazines are the biggest customers of the agencies. Railways, airlines, steamship lines and bus lines also will buy pictures which show the beauty or the interest of places to which they offer transport.
You should never run out of stock picture subject matter, for the same reason that the agencies must continue to stock new prints, because time changes nearly all things, and a picture which was typical of life in your town a year ago is no longer typical there today. New pictures are needed to show the new trends and yet the old pictures are needed, too, for advertisers and editors who want to show things the old way. |
