Turn the simplest photo opportunity into cash

Whether you want to focus exclusively on a career in photography,add photo skills to your toolkit as a professional freelance writer (editors pay more for article/photo bundles), make money from your vacation shots, or simply take better family photos,you’ll find all the help you need in Turn Your Pictures Into Cash—A Comprehensive Program in Taking and Selling Amazing Photographs, a complete home-study course from American Writers and Artists Inc.

Written by a team of industry experts, the theory of photography is clearly explained and demonstrated with helpful sample photos.The approach throughout the guide is practical. As you read through its 56 chapters,you’ll want your camera close by,ready for each of the end-of- session exercises. Ideally,as you work through the lessons, you’ll prepare yourselffor taking a perfect shot the first time. But help is at hand for those shots that need some tweaking: The bonus Photoshop Tutorial DVD has step-by-step demonstrations on how to turn your imperfect images into saleable shots.

The good news for the trigger-happy set is you don’t need expensive, top-of- the-range equipment to make money from your shots. And even as a “travel photographer,” you won’t have to board a plane to exotic destinations. Wherever you’re based, your area is a destination to someone in another state or country.In fact, no matter what your niche, your local market is one you shouldn’t overlook…

Take professional photographer Rich Wagner,for instance.Eighty percent of Rich’s work is done around his hometown. After displaying some shots in his local library,a developer who was remodeling a local office building bought up $12,000 worth of Rich’s work.Rich isn’t alone.The kit is full of inspirational stories of amateur photographers who turned the simplest photo opportunity into cash. One guy removed the wheels from his granddaughter’s bicycle, snapped the result, submitted it to a book publisher,and earned $150 within one hour.

While photography is a career that affords you much freedom of expression, you need to be aware of your legal obligations.If you want to sell “people photos,”for instance,you may need your subjects to sign model releases.Likewise,if you’re planning to sell an arty shot of your nearest Golden Arches,you may need permission.Certain companies (McDonald’s included) and buildings have registered trademarks and copyrights that you,as a photographer, must respect.It comes down to how you shoot and what the shots will be used for. All is covered in depth in the guide.

As per the title, a major focus of the course is on making money from your snapshots. Here you’ll find information on markets open to freelance photographers —along with detailed instructions on how to correctly approach potential clients and improve your chances of success. How long before you get a byline and see your first paycheck? Really,that depends on how quickly you progress through the course.
