There are multiples ‘stock’ ways through which you can earn an ongoing income online. One of such approaches is known as stock photography. Stock photography is basically when you upload your pictures online without any upfront payments and whenever a user views or downloads it you are paid a certain amount. This is known as earning royalties for your photographs. The whole process is known as stock photography because you don’t put up one or two pictures or pictures on request in fact you upload hundreds of pictures to make sure you are earning some good revenues.

How does it work?

There are various well known websites when it comes to stock photography such as iStock, etc. what these websites do is they take the photos from you and sell them online. Every website has its own ways of selling it of course but the most common ways they let you earn is either by royalties or by selling copyrights. Such websites have a huge network of buyers. These buyers are magazine owners, etc who are always on the lookout for good photography. At times they buy pictures with copyrights and at times just for using it they pay you a certain amount in which case your picture still remains there and others can use it as well. You also get royalties with every download and whenever a person views. As said earlier, every website has its own ways of generating revenue so before you opt for anyone make sure you read their terms and conditions.

Now, most of us wonder why don’t we sell our photographs directly to the buyers and earn more instead of sharing our revenues with these websites. Well I will explain this with a simple example; consider you live in Kenya which is an amazing place for photography but you won’t be in touch with magazines that are operating in the UK, USA, etc. What do you do? This is where stock photography websites come handy! They let you fulfill your hobby and create recognition as a photographer. All you need to do is to carry your camera around your neck and whenever you see something good just snap it! You have the picture now instead of keeping it in your computer for years and then finally deleting it why not upload it to a website and earn royalties?

Yes it just that simple! All you need is a good camera! This would be your only investment and you will on your way to make money through stock photography. Also, keep in mind that if you won’t make money over night with stock photography but at least you need a thousand good photographs to make sure you are earning a good amount. Now, don’t let that thousand figure disappoint you because if you love photography I am sure you might be taking more than that every month. It is one of the most exciting ways to make money online. You serve your interest, you have fun and you make money!

- As always your Austin Wedding Videographer

As one of the most important decisions you will make concerning the big day, planning your wedding photography should be considered with care. Follow these four steps to ensure your wedding pictures capture these priceless wedding day memories.

1) Select Your Photography Style

How do you envision your wedding photographs? Wedding Photographers generally fall into three stylistic categories: traditional, photojournalist, or a combination of both. Traditional photographers are practiced in obtaining great portraits and posed shots. For more candid shots that document the day’s emotions and all the behind-the-scenes action, you may lean towards the photojournalistic style of photography (a hot trend for today’s weddings). For brides who simply cannot decide, seek a wedding photographer who can offer the perfect mix.

2) Consider the Cost

This really is one area in which you should avoid cutting corners, as your photographs will be one of the few keepsakes you can actually take from your wedding. Expect to allocate at least $1000 to your wedding photography budget (the bottom line in metro areas will be higher). If budget is a concern, consider ordering the most basic package, but avoid hiring an inexperienced photographer to save money.

3) Hire your Wedding Photographer

Do your research, and compile a list of potentials and commence the “meet and greet.” When meeting with potential photographers, be sure to review his or her work and remember to consider the importance of personality. Your photographer will capture some of the best shots behind the scenes, so you must feel comfortable in working with this person and inviting them backstage. Trust your instinct: if you find anything disagreeable about working with this person, keep looking. And don’t forget to get everything in writing.

4) Plan the Wedding Pictures

Well before your wedding day, make sure you have considered the must-have photography shots and their execution. You should discuss these details with your photographer so that he or she will be familiar with the site location, the VIPs of the wedding (attendants, parents etc.), and the best and most un-obtrusive way to get these important shots.

Consider every aspect of your wedding day and how you would like it captured. From the pre-ceremony preparation, to your walk down the aisle, to your “I Dos,” to your first dance and finally to your departure, make sure to discuss the perfect shots for each special moment. Throughout the planning process, be in the lookout out for images that catch your eye, and consider bringing clips to your photographer. Browse this gallery of creative wedding pictures for inspiration.

Now that you know the basics, this complete wedding photography guide will walk you the rest of the way towards planning your wedding day pictures.
