Microstock agency - Dreamstime Images

Thanks For Your Support

I am really trying hard to get this photography business up and running. I have received a lot of support from friends and would just like to take this opportunity to thank everyone. Today was a great day. Many of my submitted images made it through the inspection process with the microstock agencies that I am associated with. Also, I have set up a small home studio for shooting products and for "still life" style stock photo ideas. It is going really well and I am learning a lot, and improving with each session. I am presently dealing with 7 agencies - 123RF, Canstockphoto, Crestock, Cutcaster, Dreamstime, Fotolia, and iStockphoto.
Each has different quality standards and slightly different philosophies which help to keep the process interesting. As I learn which types of photos are desired by each, I try and develop a concept that will be of interest and at the same time, will provide me with the most potential for future sales.
It is something that I really enjoy and is also a great way to supplement my income... which at the moment is modest.
I will provide some more affiliate links in future posts... stay tuned and send me a comment if this is a topic of interest to you.

The camels that carried our gear during our 5 day walking tour of the desert in Tunisia. They were so gentle and did not spit at all. Perhaps it is only a myth?

My first entry

This is my first entry and not knowing what to say exactly... I am a photographer, building a microstock (MS) business. I have images on six sites and due to a recent change from a full-time job to self-employment, will be devoting my time to uploading more and more photos to these and other sites. Phew-that sentence was way too long.

I will be adding links to these MS sites and am presently working on my home site which will feature some of my photographs.

Also, there will be a link to a site which will allow you to browse a more extensive collection of my photos and order them in various formats.

All this and more to follow shortly... stay tuned.
