How to Make Money from Your Digital Images - Review

If you are looking to get started with Microstock Photography, it is a good idea to seek help and inspiration from already successful photographers/artists, either on the Internet or from books or other sources. This article gives you a review of the book: How to Make Money from Your Digital Images, by Douglas Freer.

One of the sources I turned to first was the book by Douglas Freer, an illustrative book answering some of the basic questions about getting started and becoming successful with Microstock Photography. Douglas Freer has written a comprehensive book that details the technical and commercial processes of the microstock industry. He gives tips and tricks to how to get started, which types of photos will sell, where to sell them, and all the what-not-to-dos.

Over 60 illustrations and photographs help you improve your skills, learn new techniques specific to shooting stock photography and better understand what the microstock market demands.

The book primarily helped me with inspiration, and helped me focus my shooting, instead of trying out in every direction wasting precious time on the approval process of all the agencies. The right focus can help you shorten the approval process and increase approval rating - this is the first step to becoming successful with Microstock Photography.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who is seeking out success with Microstock Photography, or just want to get introduced to making money from your personal photos.

About the author: Douglas Freer is the former principal of a niche online rights managed stock photo library, a semi-professional photographer and the London based senior partner of the law firm he founded in 2004.
