I have been taking photos of birds , still or bif, for several years as an amateur photographer. Because of relocation and aging, I haven’t been able to find a jobs that pays decent for a while. Photography has been a hobby in the past, and now I am going to have to use it to cover some living cost. The information of stock photography you put here is very informative and helpful. Thank you!
Again great Video! I learn and learn more from your advices! Motivates me to do more and invest more time and effort in it! By the way I love this wooden chain! Take photos of this and I guess they will also sell!👍😉
It's very kind of you to share your tipics, especially given the viewers could become your competitors! Also nice to see you know your way around a chainsaw!
Your videos are getting extremely interesting to watch, pretty cool how you have so many things happening at once, and leading a game play at the same time. Your images look so simple and easy to take but the most difficult part for me is to come up with something creative as you. Really appreciate all your knowledge, time you put in to share and make it interesting for the viewer. Following for more to come. Thank you
Thanks so much for the comment! It is very motivating 😅. I keep trying to keep it fresh, short and to the point so comments like this are amazing, I did what I set out to do on this one 😁. Thanks again!
Interesting video showing what you sold more of. The internet has been both a blessing and a curse for photographers however. Yes, it makes getting your work out there much easier than it used to be but as far as making serious money on sales, stock agencies have killed it for us. It used to be photographers would get paid hundreds or even thousands of dollars for a single photo now the game has changed and the advantage is for the stock agencies. They make the big bucks for our hard work and pay us pennies so it requires hundreds of downloads of a photo for us to make pennies on the dollar. I was contacted by a magazine that wanted to purchase some of my photos but rather than writing up a contract to me directly, the art director wanted me to upload the photos to the stock agency the magazine worked with so it would be easier for her. I wound up telling her thanks but no thanks. She would have wound up paying the agency close to what I wanted to make on the photos but again, the agency would have made the lions share of the money for my hard work and paid me the scraps. I suppose stock is ok for residual income but it takes a long time to get any traction and the requirements of so many of the agencies and the low payment percentages make it very disheartening. But a couple hundred dollars here and there comes in handy for a nights hotel stay or some piece of inexpensive gear every now and then.
Thanks for the comment! I know the industry has changed a lot, and it is a rat race and a numbers game today, and thats not even getting into what AI is going to do to the industry in general. But don't let the small numbers fool you, On average I sill make around $15000 a year form this. and I figured out I probably average about 10 hours a week that Ive dedicated to Stock Photography for the last 14 years.
Thank you for this. I got them all right! I was feeling a bit disheartened that my camera (and skills) are not good enough so it was great you said that about the cameras. I'm going to get going anyway now and see what I can do! You really honoured that tree with the chain. Amazing. I like how you left it on the trunk.
Thanks so much! In the past I’ve made a big deal about the gear, the reality is better gear makes it easier to get better pictures but it is not a requirement, learn about your gear and use it where it’s best, and avoid its limitations, it’s it’s bad in low light, avoid those situations, if your lens distorts the corners at wider apertures, try not using those apertures you will avoid frustration and save time! Best of luck!!
@@wollertz Thank you! My camera isn't terrible.. 24MP Nikon D5300 and I have some nice lenses. Ok, I know to avoid the bad light and will now check for the distortion. I appreciate your reply. I hope to upgrade very soon. .am researching at the moment. Thank you for all your videos!
I discover your channel and this topic...And I'm blown... Clearly the Tucan solo with the eye contact is the winner in term of composition and interest... Just funny. I'll educate myself more about stock photography thanks to you and your channel, but I really doubt that will ever post anything to a stock platform. I too much like editing my images and it doesn't seem to be a pre-requisite for this kind of stuff 😅
Thanks for the comment! Every photo should be processed , there’s many ways to do stock, no wrong way, I like basic adjustments in lightroom then I synchronize changes, others prefere spending week in a single photo, no wrong way to do it 🤷♂️
Love your chain. Great advice demonstrated in a fabulous way. I need to get started properly, I have around 82 photos in Shutterstock from 2 years ago, I only sent them in because I wanted to know if I could take good enough photos but now I’ve started checking out videos with a view to actually attempting to make a little money, I found that 3 of my 82 sold for 42 cents 😅 when I logged on about 14 months ago. Hopefully if I take the good advice people like yourself have been passing on I might actually receive a cheque one day 😊
Thanks so much! I had fun making this video 😁. It will take more photos, and it definitely takes consistency, the algorithm will favor you if you upload on a weekly schedule.
Tnx, another inspirational video for me. It reminds me of uploading more photo's of the same shoot because of the numbers game. I'm always worried that they are not good enough, but guess what, they almost always get accepted. I have a portfolio of only just about 130 images on adobe ( just started out) and made my first 100 bucks, yay! That's at least encouraging enough to get on with it. :D
Great tips! I just got started on Shutterstock last October, and I have a little under 50 photos in my portfolio. I’m still relatively new and was worrying how long it will take, or until how many pictures do you think it will take till some pictures start selling? Could you also explain what it means when photos are used for data licensing? Thanks so much, love your videos!
That is awesome! It takes a few months to make sales and to make a steady income you will need a few thousand images, data licensing means the photo is going to be used to train AI and not be placed for sale, It is an image that would have been rejected for any reason, but instead they are going to use it as training and compensate you via the contributor fund if it is used.
Thank you so much. This video was great confirmation that I can shoot what I enjoy and someone somewhere will find use for it. The lifestyle nuances zapped the excitement out of it for me.
I’m new to photography so I’m curious on how you save and store your images for stock, do you save by date, location, or subject matter? I tend to gravitate towards black and white urban photography how well would that subject matter do on stock?
I just filmed a video on this subject for Sunday 😅 So I use lightroom, and export day by day into a folder, then I group batches of 20 or 100 to upload (usually mix and match from different dates to avoid rejections because of similar photos) then from there upload weekly.
@@urbantactical148 As far as the type of photos, stock is about commercial images, If you can see an advertiser, magazine, travel blog using your photos then yes you have a chance of selling them, but ofor more artistic or abstract, that might be a tough sale
Hi, thanks for your video and time! Can i ask you a question please. Where do you upload your photos (witch plateform) to have this kind of result please
Thanks Charles for sharing what sells and, as you say, some images keep selling in spite of being very ordinary. Lots of ideas there in your video. When you give your sales/downloads figures, over what period are we talking about? Which are your top selling agencies? The rpd from SS is so small now, exceptions apart.
Thank you! To get to the hundreds in sales in my experience takes a few years, 3 to 5 with a few exceptions, but then you do a photoshoot each week, for 5 years, think of the sales… and reoccurring sales… as far as best sellin agencies definately SS, followed by Adobe and then Getty
I'm main vector image but this video has reset my mind how i should to do for my work for the next time. Thank you from my heart, friendship and sharing are always great. With love from Thailand :D
I haven't done much black and white except for when I do infrared and those do sell, which means I should do more 😅. I have links to all of the agencies I use in the video description but the best performing ones this year are adobe stock, shutterstok and getty ! Thanks for the comment!
the chain just sort of adds another skill apart from photography.. lol very informative video.. could you tell me please what site you upload to for stock photography? or should i say which companies works out better in our favour?
I am new to stock photography and was wondering if I upload a photo to several stock sites, will I lose my ownership of it? Do they now own my photo? Are there any stock photography sites that don't allow you to upload it to other sites? Great video! Thank you for the content!
I’ve been an amateur photographer for years and just had the idea to start selling stock. Any advice for organization of photos? I’m going through my library in Cherry picking and already forgetting what I’ve uploaded and what I haven’t.

Love the content and the idea. It is test our sense as photographer and understanding client/buyer's need. Never see photo comparison content before. I wanna ask something out of topic. Should we opt out the data licensing program?
Thank you! As far as the data licensing, that is personal, these are images that otherwise would be rejected and now they have the potencial of generating income. I received $12 today from data licenses, not a lot but I also don't have that many photos in this category 🤷♂️
Hi Charles, when uploading pictures of city landmarks or other known locations/attractions, do you think I should include their proper names or should I just use more generic terms? For example, instead of using the name 'Golden Gate Bridge' should I describe it simply as 'bridge'? Or when I have a photo of a city skyline, should I refer to it as "Toronto skyline" or simply "City skyline"? Great content out there, I'm starting with stock photography and I find your videos really helpful, thanks!
I had to go back and look at some of mine, It is a good Idea to use the names of places specially if they are the focus of the photo. I have sold many images of the golden gate as RF now, when I went to Las Vegas and did a whole series of photos of the buildings, they were all rejected for lack of property release, So I had to upload the city images as editorial and they continue to sell a few years later. The city of London and smaller towns in Scotland I just went ahead and uploaded them as editorial. Anytime you can recognize private property you will need a release for RF, bur editorial license is totally different and you can still make good sales this way. Hope this helps, Best of luck!
Thankyou for a great video. But I have question on my mind. Do you edit your photo before uploading or after taking those photos you upload it directly? If it has to be edited, then how do I edit photos if I have 100 or 200 photos? Do I have to edit them one by one?
Editing is part of photography, I shoot raw so the photos have to be processed and turned into a jpg for uploading, you can do one by one or if you use lightroom do basic changes and then synchronize your settings then adjust individually, editing is very important, specially if you shoot raw.
@@parapencariilmu8925 If you shoot jpg the camera edits for you, so technically you don't have to, but remember you want the images looking their best if you want to sell them
I have links to the agencies I use in the description, but the best ones are Adobe, Shutterstock and getty. That could change, but right now they are my best performers
Thank you for the video. Wow. I couldn’t even imagine that even white balance could be so important. How do those who buy photos understand where white balance is good? They are usually not professional photographers. It's a mystery😶
I didn't watch past the intro, where somehow 131 sales of a shot with a happy and confident looking dog managed to only make a few quid more than 128 less sales of an unwelcoming and depressed looking dog in a badly composed snapshot...
Not usually, it depends on the subject and what’s happening in the world. These are for the lifetime of the photo, some have been up for 10 years and some for 2 years
@@wollertz: you were saying that the photo that sold 131 times sold 100 times more than the one that sold 31 times, but 100 * 31 is 3,100, not 131. 100 more not 100 times more.

@@wollertz: you were saying that the photo that sold 131 times sold 100 times more than the one that sold 31 times, but 100 * 31 is 3,100, not 131. 100 more not 100 times more.
I meant 100 downloads more than the other 🤷♂️
👍🏻
🙌🏼
Do you sell video? Or only photo? Thank you, I like your laugh 😅 funny!
Thanks! 😂.
I started doing video in 2020, I sell both but mostly photos
@@wollertz Thank you 💖
