5.0 out of 5 stars A Five Star Resource, 31 Jul 2004
By D. M. York (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This review is from: Photos That Sell: The Art of Successful Freelance Photography (Paperback)
This is an outstanding resource for anybody who is looking to use their photographic talents to make money. This book goes into great depth about what publishers would be looking for, presentation tips as well as some contact details. Thankfully this book specialises upon the UK side of the market, as opposed to providing a list of otherwise useless USA addresses.

There are in-depth tips about how different mediums can be explored as well as technical information with regards to what kind of film, filters and even lenses would be most appropriate for certain situations. It is a blessing that this book does not specialise upon Digital or 35mm photography, but rather focuses upon detailing upon how the image can be manipulated by the camera and not a computer. Additionally there are several comments upon certain legalities in photography, such as the use of models and especially children, both of which I was personally not fully aware of.

Overall this book is a stunning read for somebody who is looking to get into freelance photography, and in every respect there is no aspect that this book neglects to cover.

5.0 out of 5 stars Earning moneys from photography can't be bad!, 1 Sep 2001
By A Customer
If you've been thinking to yourself that you should be making some money from this hobby of yours, and that film costs too much, then this is the book for you.

Written by Lee Frost who has considerable commercial experience, the book takes you through the various markets available to photographers. If you were to combine this book with a copy of the BFP Freelance Photographers Market Handbook you could very quickly find a home for your images.

The first part of the book concentrates on these markets, and mainly on the picture library market, bound to be attractive to newcomers. It includes how to make an approach, what terms you should be looking for etc. Also included is a section on Digital and creating your own web site. It stops short of telling you actually how to construct your site...

The next section discusses the various subjects (such as portraiture, landscapes, stock imagery etc.) that sell to the market. It includes numerous examples from Lees own archive, and shows you how many times they have sold and how much they have earned. This gives you a good indication of what a good picture can do for you.

These examples of Lee's best sellers can prove quite eye opening. Photographs that he did not expect to find a market for, or took with no particular market in mind have done surprisingly well.

This book will certainly inspire you to take different pictures than your typical holiday snaps, and should help you find some return on investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Couldnt put it down once I had opened the cover, 31 May 2005
By J. Piper (Surrey United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Photos That Sell: The Art of Successful Freelance Photography (Paperback)
A simply stunning book. Very well laid out, stacks of colour photos and loads of inspiration as to how you can get started with selling your photos. Geared towards the UK as well in particular. Talks about the sort of images stock libraries need.

I read the whole thing from cover to cover and then started reading again as it there is so much to learn from the book.

Really easy to read as well as he talks in a clear manner.

Cannot recommend it highly enough.
