Sell your pictures - 3 books and one GREAT source

November 26, 2007 | Leave a Comment

Don’t worry - I’m not suggesting you sell your own wedding pictures! If I photographed your wedding recently then you want to drop into the gallery where you can buy your wedding pictures. No, this article is for all the new photographers who contact me asking how to move from photography as a hobby to making money from it.

The answer is it’s pretty tough - but one way you can make ends meet in the early days is by selling your pictures through stock libraries. This article will give you a kick start by suggesting 3 books that will give you clues about what to shoot, how to shoot it and giving you one great resource for the budding stock photographer.

5 (+1) great books no wedding photographer should be without

November 20, 2007 | 1 Comment

Working every day as a professional wedding photographer, it’s easy to forget how long it has taken me to learn my craft and the steps along the way. Of course the very best way to learn any aspect of photography is by doing it but days are short, it’s raining here in Kent and above all Christmas is coming. Here are 5 (+1) books that I have read myself and think that nobody wanting to get into wedding photography (or all kinds of photography) should be without.

Leeds Castle fireworks, originally uploaded by jon_nikon.

So….bonfire night has come and gone, but not without a “few” fireworks. Just like last year I was down at Leeds Castle photographing their amazing Mythical Fireworks Extravaganza for them. However, since the fireworks spanned the weekend I was able to get down to the Hop Farm as well and photograph not only their fireworks but the funfair and, err, a zombie metal band from Sidcup! (They are called Billy Rebel by the way.)

A few pictures below…

How appropriate for Fireworks night! Annabel and Jaco are finally back from honeymoon which means I can finally put their pictures online - including the rather wonderful fireworks ones.
If you’re a regular to the site then you’ll know that means there is a one minute slideshow as well as all 406 pictures online. What you won’t know is that you can view a draft design for their album online too. And you won’t know that because it’s a brand new feature that I just added to the site today!
