Do a search on Google. There are lots of sites out there but remember the competition is stiff unless you have a really fresh image or specialize in subject matter that is unique or in high demand. Also check to see that your format is one that others want, film or digital.

A good way to start out selling photos is to check and see what your local market is looking for. Have you tried the local news services, telephone company (I annually sell images for the phone book), a business in need of ad images, local clubs or organizations that use picture in their promo material brochures etc.

Hope this is useful to you.

There are few. One of them is Alamy but your image should be a perfect one as there are thousands photographers put hundreds images in it.

I was talking to a photographer recently who visited a Pub in London with his portfolio of photographs comprising in the main of performers on stage under spotlighting.

He spoke with the manager and a photograph of a sax player and another of a guitar player were requested blown up to 30 x 30 inches and he received £800 sterling each for them. And further orders for additional photographs expected.

Not bad for an impromptu visit.

Only suggestion I have is to judge your target audience according to your style of photography !

Best wishes,
Steve

Well....it's just an opinion but obviously hooking up with one of the pros at Usefilm here and paying to link your private website to Usefilm or others like Webshots will get you lots of visability. Create yourself a "homepage" of somekind with whoever your web server is and in it, link to a private web page you create. AOL (although I hate them) is the largest. If you have the "bucks" hook up with a good web designer and do a little research first by looking at lots of other websites that are selling your particular type of photography. Usually at the very bottom of most there is a "counter" that shows how many people have visited the site. Look for the "most visited" and kinda copy their layout format and "user friendly" prices and availability pages. Good Luck though....as you'll be amoung 10000000's of others trying to do the same thing. It's not a profession that will make you rich anytime soon so you better be good. HEHEHEHEHE! Maybe also, let us know more specifically about what kind of images you plan on shooting to sell!

HI,

I think the best place from where you can sell your [url=http://www.oil-paintings-reproductions.com] Oil Paintings[/url] will be this only. Here a lot of painters sell their paintings & earning name & fame also.

Thanks.

Adam
