Each of us will have different reasons. And If you ask me?
I would say it's the Display & Camera.
In today's video, we are going to see, how to Prepare our Photos to Sell them Online. And Where to Sell it?
Hello and Welcome to iRobinPro Video.
My Name is Robin, and in today's video we are not going to just give tips to iPhone users, but also to Android and DSLR Camera Users.
The tips will be useful for any Passionate Photographers.
When we buy a Gadget, it will be great if it gives us some returns.
I personally feel, the purpose of the gadget is fulfilled because of that.
Either a Computer or a Smartphone that we buy from 10,000 Rupees to 1 lac Rupees.
It will be very useful if it gives us back some returns.
I hope every gadget buyer have such consciousness while buying them.
When we buy a phone or computer and we use it mostly for Games and Entertainment purposes,
then its clear we wasted on valuable time and money.
the gadget didn't fulfil its purpose too.
its just my personal thought.
So how to fix that? and how to make money with the gadgets we buy?
Not all of them, but just some of the gadgets we buy can be put to good use.
We can learn new things from our computers and smartphones.
Let's take the smartphone, majority of users buy it and let it waste our time mostly.
Productivity is very less in mobile phones.
Some people i know are good at taking photos using their mobile phones.
They simply share it in their Facebook Newsfeed, Instagram and Social media sites.
They don't take any extra efforts to make money online using mobile photography skills.
I hope this videos gives better idea about making money online.
And if you find this video useful, do share it with your friends to help them too.
Let's dive into the process of making money online with your mobile photography skills.
When you take Apple Products, there are things I like and things I don't like.
Apart from the design perfection, Apple also good at the Hardware components they put inside their devices.
I like that about Apple.
I am using iPhone since 3G. and i like the designs that came out after iPhone 4.
Because thats when the Display Improvements have started to happen.
Retina Display is addictive. Love its colors and vibrance.
Reading Texts also comfort to the eyes as they were sharp.
Reason i am telling about its Display is, Apple makes the Camera and Display work together.
This is not the same case in all the Phones and Manufacturers.
What you see on iPhone camera is what you see in the display.
That's not the same case with other Mobile Manufacturers.
Color Calibration is done correctly with iPhone Displays.
The picture you shot on iPhone looks same in your iPhone, iPad and Mac Display.
Even if you upload photos to Facebook, even after compression the photo looks much better and clear.
Shot on iPhone photos always stand out and few elements in the picture proves that.
While taking photo using iPhone camera,
The image is being processed with its Image Signal Processor.
Latest iPhone's do have Neural Engine to process that image using AI and improve its quality.
Using hardware to process the output image is really good.
But when you upload them to Facebook, Instagram and other sites, it gets compressed.
To prevent that quality loss, consider checking about RAW Format and how to shoot photos in RAW Format.
Taking RAW Photos is not possible with iPhone's default camera app.
Camera app processes the image and make it look good to the normal eyes.
That is why we have to use third party apps like Adobe Lightroom,
Halide Camera App,
I will provide links to these Camera Apps in the Description of this video.
Camera Plus App can be used to Shoot RAW Format images.
There are several other apps that allows you to take Raw Photos in iPhone.
Once you shot a Raw photo, you will be able to edit and tune up each element in a Photograph.
Exposure, Contrast, Brightness and every thing is now adjustable in the editing apps.
Once you finished editing such RAW image files, it will look a lot different from instant Filters you apply on the images.
In our Facebook Group, you may see such beautiful photos shot using iPhone 4,4S, 6 and SE Camera.
As you can see, the output is gorgeous.
Our Facebook Group for Apple in Tamil is decorated using these best photographs shot on iPhone every week.
If you speak Tamil language and want to join in, then Search for "Apple in Tamil" in Facebook.
When you shoot a picture using iPhone camera, you can edit them very well using Google Snapseed App.
It's a very powerful app when you learn, how to use it.
There are tons of tools, filters and controls available in Snapseed app.
Do try snapseed, if you haven't tried already.
I will provide links in description to all the tools shared in this video.
Let's explore the market places where you can sell your Photos Online.
First Website: 500px.com (App available in appstore)
Friend of mine, who bought my iPhone 4S, shot a beautiful photo using his iPhone and sold it in 500px.
That was his first sale online.
His casual photo shoots turned into money.
He upload the photo just like that on 500px.com without any intension to sell it online.
Luckily, a buyer approached him through the comments section and asked the price for purchasing his Photo.
He never took any photography courses or full understanding about the mobile photography.
He was really excited to make his first sale.
The person who purchased the photo now will be able to use the photo without any copyright issues or violations.
There are many photographers who sell their photo online.
People create their profile and portfolio in these Websites and Apps that allows us to sell Photos online.
Give first preference to 500px. Its really good according to me.
second website: smugmug.com
You can fix the price of the photograph you want to sell in this website.
Upload your Creative photos and Stills to this website and price it reasonably for quick selling.
Depending on your hard work in capturing and processing the image,
You can decide the price of the photo. You know its worth.
Just a tip: Lesser price, more sales when it comes to these market places.
You can browse through existing photographs posted by skilled professionals.
Just to get an idea about pricing, you can browse through smugmug website.
You will see the experience of the photographer in each photos, not just their pricing.
Next one is a web application.
EyeEM - it is available in Appstore.
It is similar to 500px and gives good idea about the Marketplace.
You can upload photos you shot on your mobile phone.
Processing the photos can be done with the help of apps and tools i have suggested in first half of this video.
Finish the Pre and Post Production of the photos within your Phone and then upload it to EyeEM Account.
When the photo is sold, you will receive the money in your Paypal account.
This app is not as popular as EyeEM.
But its really a good marketplace to consider.
In future, when the app grows, you will grow too.
Next app is Flickr.com
I did mention about Flickr.com earlier in our videos mainly to use it as a Backup Storage.
They gave 1TB Free cloud storage, and after smugmug.com acquisition, Flickr reduced their Free Storage limit to 1000 Photos.
It became Paid Storage but the 1000 Photos limit is very good for Photographers who want to sell their Photographs online.
It is important to consider your portfolio building and presence in Flickr.com too.
When you cross 200 to 300 photo uploads, you will start making sales or learn more about the selling of photos online.
When the sales begin, and you reach the 1000 photos limit, then you can upgrade your Free Plan to Paid Tariff.
Start posting your Photos online and make money.
Convert your Time and Hobby into Money.
It's definitely not going to waste of time. Your effort will pay you in the form or money or learning and experience.
If you know any other Websites, Apps or Marketplaces that is good to suggest,
based on your experience and you like to help others.
Then do leave the names in the comment box below.
Will catch you in next video with new and interesting titles. have a wonderful day.
