pesh Posted May 17, 2013 Share Posted May 17, 2013 Hi All Just wondering who sells their photos and is it worth your time and effort? If you do sell where do you place them? Would love to have a look. :) Yep sticky beak day. :laugh: Thx Sharon :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pesh Posted May 18, 2013 Author Share Posted May 18, 2013 (edited) Pers I always enjoy looking at your photos, so natural, beautiful Someone I know took one of my photos for personal use without my permission. If she'd asked I would have said not a problem, but just to asume annoyed me. Does everyone place watermarks on their photos once they've been place in a public forum?

tlc Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 Snook same thing happened to a girl in my Photography group, she was answering all the questions and one was do you make any money from your photography and she was just honest and said occasionally to which they replied well your not covered. After a lot of tears and drama they came to the party and paid out her claim. (New D7000 and 70 - 300 lens) She snapped the lens off the camera body by accident rendering the camera and lens useless and unfixable. I don't consider any money I make from my photography any sort of profit/income etc, especially when I am still in the red for some of my equipment! :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasse Posted May 18, 2013 Share Posted May 18, 2013 I just assumed your cameras had to be on their own policy with your insurance company to be fully covered. Even before i started selling the odd photo, my camera has had its own. My new one will too as of Monday. Interesting read...good info. Will be passing this on to a few other photography mates!

huga Posted May 19, 2013 Share Posted May 19, 2013 Yes, I sell them to clients :laugh: I have also sold some to Getty, but am yet to make anything out of that. I have a pile of paperwork to do for some more that they have requested. I've never had much success with Redbubble etc, but keep stuff on there so I can get cards etc for myself.

pesh Posted May 20, 2013 Author Share Posted May 20, 2013 Huga thx for sharing, I'd never heard of Getty. Another thing to look further into, lol. I have a never ending list of things to look into. :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rainers Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 I sell them on red bubble and fine art America and FAA is far far easier. No effort and reasonable sales Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 I just read a similar thread on a (USA) photog's forum. One of them said "You'd make more money picking cans out of the garbage". Probably true in some cases, not so much in others, I did think it was funny though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
