I have just started to use
Photoshelter and
Alamy to try and sell some of the photos I take but am having limited success finding a formula that works. I know stock images should be timeless, colourful, vibrant, clean, up-to-date, portrait and landscape etc. but what exactly is it that makes an image sell? How many photos do you need to have in a stock library to have any chance of getting some sales?
Personally, I found the advice given by Martin Norris very helpful. Martin runs a variety of
Meetup sessions for aspiring stock photographers. Are there any other helpful resources out there that might be of use to a beginner in this area?
