Stock Picture: 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.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 .
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. |
