Hey Laura! Thanks for this video. I had so many photographers advice me against stock photography saying your photos are 'under priced'. I got into it recently because I thought, 'Better make 1cent from a photo than leave it in my Hard Drive without any potential of generating income' I started on shutterstock and just didn't bother about what I made (usually 10 cents per download) and boom! One day, a download of a photo got me $300! I thought it was an error but it wasn't lol. Question is, How did that happen? What sort of customer gives a contributor that sort of commission? Meanwhile the photo was uploaded as editorial, not even commercial.

Your space is so cool! I'd love to see a tour video of how you have your creative space laid out.

Hi Laura, i love your videos, your viewpoints on the pro phhotography business and your unique spanish accent when you speak english! (My native tongue is French and your english is easier and more pleasant to listen to for me than the excited stance of most american youtubers) Microstock is the niche that interests me the most on youtube so i would like to recommend that you delve more into this topic. Eversince Nicole Glass has left this space on this platform, i have the feeling that you are the only one who can elegantly and efficiently fill up this gap

Very useful Tipps. But really not easy. Takes time and work. Thank Laura

[biancaberg]

Thank you Laura for bringing up such an informative, step-by-step guidance on stock photography.
Just got know about your channel today & loving your helpful content for beginners in photography business.
Could you please explain -
1. How to upload photos i.e. the resolution, editing part, precautions to be taken etc in stock websites ?
2. As hobbyist I kept shooting a lot, although I am focussed on portraits & glamour now. However want to know - how can I sue my photos & which ones for stock photography ?

Thank you in advance and thankyou for bringing such amazing helpful videos
Cheers,
Kunal

Hey Laura, what if I mainly shoot Street Photography and there are people in it (sometimes just silhouettes, sometimes clearly visible), but of course I dont't know them - how should I get a model permission for uploading the picture? Or is Street Photography a different topic in regards of that?

[ExpeditionswithEvelyn]

This was so helpful! All three videos were. Thanks!

[exzemoron]

Thx for the video. I'm thinking to finally get started.
One question tho: for the releases... if I shoot street photography, do I still need a model release? And what if in photo the face is not visible? Or if I take a pic of a bus (for example), do I need a release from the bus company?
Would love to see a video (or a yt short) of you approaching to people taking stock photos...😅
Thx for the answer in advance ☺️

Interesante información! Excelente como siempre

[anacgandara]

Muchas gracias por el video, me encantó la información, tenia tiempo queriendo hacer imagenes de stock pero no sabía como. Espero este año poder hacer algo de dinero con imagenes de stock!

[dicksonnoronha]

hi, my question is regarding property release.. if i were taking pictures of historic monuments like Eiffel tower (France) or the Temple of Abu Simbel (Egypt) do i still need to do a property release?

I like the way you say 'Moneiiyy" <3
