you can sell in stock photography i
promise you that you can make money with
your photos the problem is that you
don't know how to do it i know it takes
time of course it takes time okay to
build up the galleries and to find
how to do it properly to be able to make
money but that's why i'm here
i do have a full playlist in stock
photography and i teach you from zero
from beginner level how you had to do it
to be able to take a stock photography
seriously because the problem is that
years ago a stock photography was like
super easy you just had to upload random
pictures and they were selling you know
but nowadays no anymore because the
market is super saturated okay so you
have to know what you have to shoot and
i'm going to tell you now so many tips
about how you can sell more in stock
photography what it sells and i'm going
to show you as well my best selling
pictures which i think this is gold
because if it works for me it may work
for you as well
so the first thing you have to do a part
of watching those videos i told you in
the playlist you can watch them later if
you want to take this seriously is to
check the newsletters and forums of
every website you are in i mean get
images i'm in offset images which is
macro websites because you sell for more
money the pictures and then i'm in um
one two three rf in deposit photos and
in adobe stock i'm in all of those my
galleries are not huge i'm not making a
full-time income okay it's a very humble
income but it's still better than
nothing and i promise you i'm gonna grow
it because i'm gonna push myself to
upload more because last month was quite
good in getting images for me and i
realized i'm wasting so much time and
money because i'm involved in so many
projects guys i'm doing this youtube
channel i have my private community i do
client work and it's a lot of work and i
don't have time for stock photography
but i'm gonna make time because there is
a lot of potential over there by the way

to be notified i know it's annoying but
i have to say it all the time
so yes guys you have to check those
newsletters and those forums so when you
learn properly how to do a stock
photography how to title and how to
keyboard again everything is gonna be
down below for you to check if you don't
know it yet
i have to tell you
unfortunately for some people the
pictures that sell the most are with
people on it
because beginners they don't want to use
models they don't want to use people i
know it's a pain in the ass to have
people sign the model release all the
time okay i know it's very annoying
maybe the person doesn't even appear in
the picture like
it barely appears maybe the profile the
shadow
it doesn't matter they are very strict
you need a model release i'm not gonna
get into that because you have that in
the other videos
but guys you need to shoot with people
because that's what companies want
think about what you see around you i
live in london and there is publicity
everywhere but i mean it doesn't matter
where you live there is publicity
everywhere and big posters everywhere
and you think about that check out those
posters every single day guys this is an
exercise for you every time you walk
around you have waiting in the bus stop
you are waiting in the tooth
check the adverts
those pictures are a stock photography
and i can promise you that 99 of those
posters and advertising campaigns they
have people on it
if it's a bank it's not going to
advertise the bank without people on it
they would put people smiling or
handling money or whatever it is if he's
traveling they're gonna want someone
traveling in a landscape for example
they want people on the pictures so what
you can do is use friends and family
because it's easy to get model releases
and many times you can find as well
models in your area beginner models or
things like that who are very happy to
collaborate with you for free in
exchange for photos obviously you have
to explain to the model that those
pictures will be sold in stock
photography websites for commercial use
normally they don't care i did it before
and the models are happy with it they
want to shoot with me and then in
exchange they give me the model really
signed for me to upload so all you have
to do is organize photoshoot for a stock
photography you can make a career out of
this and for those who don't want to
invest so much money i have some good
news for you because so many sessions i
sought time ago they wouldn't that
intended for a stock photography and
they actually sold a lot in stock
photography and that's why i'm going to
show you my best selling pictures
because if you don't want to shoot with
people
you're going to be able to shoot other
things which are maybe easier for you
and you don't have to invest that much
time in booking models or shooting with
people
but i highly recommend you that you
really want to solve because what it
sells the most is lifestyle shots of
people using technology in a bank a
moving house all of these topics are
very searched for in getting images for
example so all of that is what it's
gonna sell the most like actually
everyday life situations so all mixed up
using models that's gonna sell the most
let's go
to the fun part i'm gonna show you in my
app because you get images when you sign
up as a contributor they have an amazing
app where you can see the views you get
in the pictures and yourselves so i'm
gonna go
to show you the pictures my best selling
pictures i'm not gonna talk about
figures i do talk about figures on my
private community there i saw you even
the contracts and i saw you who bought
my pixels as well the companies very big
companies some of them but figures i
don't serve them on youtube i sell them
on a private community if you wanna take
a look
anyway i'm gonna open the app so this is
the app here
okay
so if you're in it images the app is
very good because it's gonna allow you
to see the briefs from companies so they
literally tell you what to shoot so this
is super easy because you just have to
shoot what they are telling you and then
they're gonna buy you the pictures
obviously they are good otherwise they
may buy someone else's but you have more
possibilities so for example because i
live in the uk they recommend me for
example this brief bbc kids collection
uk celebrations with children from 0 to
16. so it's very specific and it's very
good because they're going to tell you
exactly what they need if you're not in
these images don't worry because every
website have a newsletter or a forum
where they tell you about briefs or they
tell you what they sell focus on that
rather than uploading pictures randomly
and not knowing what it sells because
otherwise you're gonna waste your time
doing keywords and is very annoying
because you're gonna be wasting a lot of
time
anyway i'm gonna go to the best-selling
pictures i'm gonna go i'm gonna say just
a few of them because otherwise if i
have to tell you myself we're gonna stay
here forever so the best selling
pictures in getty images and i'm going
to talk about the others because what i
sell the most is ingetti okay so it
wouldn't be a good video to start
showing you every single website what i
sell but to be fair what i sell the most
is in getty images so the first picture
the best selling it was an intention for
a stock photography and is from havana
cuba a beautiful car remember to remove
all the logos or otherwise you're gonna
be rejected all the time i did remove
all the logos from the car and i sold it
40 times
the next one ostrich i wouldn't believe
i would sell this one so many times i
don't know why for whichever reason
i thought wildlife photography wouldn't
sell so much in stock and i was
surprised because i'm selling a lot of
wildlife photography so you don't need
modern release of the ostrich
so you don't want model releases or
shooting with people or preparing these
photo shoots because you don't have time
and stuff photography is just a side
hustle
wildlife photography could be something
to do or travel photography as well
we're gonna go into that later as well
so this one
15 cells i know
getty images needed these kind of
pictures because they sent me a
newsletter and i took the time to read
it and they said so many companies were
looking for dogs being groomed
so i was thinking okay i'm gonna go to
spain soon i'm gonna see my beautiful
doggie and i'm gonna be with my mom so
she was grooming her and i asked her to
do a photoshoot with her she had to sign
the model release obviously but this is
my mom okay so she sign it
but this is another tip
always
when you do a photo shoot take pictures
show in the face
and not show in the face both because
many companies they want to put a face
in the advert in the campaign but so
many companies they don't want to show
faces this one sold quite a lot but my
mom is not there i mean it's there but
not the face you know so the next one is
self-portrait photography and again it
wasn't intended for stock photography it
was just for my memories it's from a
solo trip i did to ecuador in south
america
and it was just for myself and i
uploaded it and it's selling a lot in
tourism boards because obviously it's in
ecuador it's a troubled picture clearly
you don't even see my face so introverts
this is something you can do as well you
can be looking away look into the sky
look into a mountain and you don't have
to be recognizable in the picture and
you don't need a model release you need
it but you sign it yourself so this is a
very good trick guys i sell a lot of
myself portraits in another websites as
well even creative self-portraits i'm
selling i don't know where they've been
published but they are being sold
the next one as well landscape
photography no model release needed it
was an intention for stock photography
but it's selling and it's selling
because
i mean it it is popular this waterfall
but it's not like a tourism destination
like so so so popular that is burnout
already in stock photography websites i
think that's why it's selling
the next one mine is
another tip guys uh seasonal pictures so
if eastern is coming up christmas is
coming up back to school is coming up
whatever is coming up
shoot for that because companies need
pictures to fit their campaigns
but you have to pause the pictures well
before it happens so don't upload in
december christmas pictures you're gonna
have to do the decorations before and
shoot maybe in july or even before maybe
i don't know june because companies they
need the pixels in advance to plan the
marketing campaigns
but if you upload beginning of december
or even in december i did sell some
because last minute companies as well
buy pictures in christmas but extra tip
is actually uploading well before the
event because the company's gonna search
for that well before for the marketing
campaigns
another landscape from ecuador same
thing no people no model release needed
and the next one as well me diving a
snorkeling basically in galapagos island
in ecuador with my gopro so for those
who ask me many times which camera you
have to have this was a gopro no amazing
resolution and it got sold on fujifilm
europe voted i always tell you this
stock photography is not just only about
the money
it's actually the fact that you get
exposure
and also the companies that buy your
pictures
because the fact that fujifilm europe is
choosing to buy my picture before many
others
i'm sorry but i feel proud you know
it's a very good thing so it's not just
the money you're gonna get grumpy many
times oh this picture it got sold for
one pound or 20p it happens a lot it
happens to me as well in getting images
as well okay but at least some big
companies they are buying it so it's not
also bad you know
next one havana
havana again look these pictures are so
beautiful like super super beautiful
very timeless as well no people on it i
mean there are people but not
recognizable at all so i didn't need
model release and i'm gonna leave it
here because the rest you know there are
many here but they are not bestsellers
what i want you to take from this video
is
first if you want to sell in stock
photography don't shoot for shooting
shoot with intention check the
newsletters first of the websites you
are into shutter stock adobe stock get
images wherever you are at check their
newsletters check the forums don't be
lazy because otherwise
for being lazy it's gonna be worse
because you're gonna be tagging and
keywording forever for pictures they may
not sell so be intentional take
newsletters check forums and also check
the briefs inget images is very good
because they tell you the briefs exactly
what they are looking for and they show
you even examples of the images so it's
really good for inspiration
you don't want it to be that time
consuming and you don't want to plan
photo shoots with people with models you
don't want model releases blah blah blah
then travel photography i find that it
sells a lot but
normally better but there is people on
it if you think about airbnb and all
these companies every time they send you
a newsletter
of destinations there are people on it
because we are humans so they are trying
to sell trips to a human being so they
want a human in the picture you know
what i mean so it's better with people
you can do self-portrait photography
this is something i do a lot if you
follow my channel you know this and it's
great because i signed my own model
releases and sometimes people from
ecuador texted me laura you appeared
here and they sent me a picture of the
place where i appeared in an ireland you
know and it's always nice you know and
even if you are an introvert do so
already you don't have to show your face
you can be looking away you can be
walking away from the camera i don't
know it's very easy
and then wildlife surprisingly is
selling as well so i don't know i didn't
expect that any selling check out the
playlist in stock photography please if
you really want to make money with stock
