Photographer's Market - Where and How To Sell Your Photographs

Tomorrow I head to Portland, Oregon, for a week. I visited there last year for the first time. I’d heard about how beautiful the area was and how you could see majestic Mt. Hood from the city. I was a little disappointed when, after being there a few days, I had not once seen Mt. Hood. The constantly overcast skies made it impossible to see. I began to doubt it even existed! Then, on my last day there, the skies cleared and, sure enough, there it was. It was almost like a mirage—it seemed ethereal and distant, and I knew it would soon vanish from my sight again. This time, the weather is supposed to be clearer, and I hope to get a better look at Mt. Hood and maybe even go there. But even if I don’t, there are still many beautiful things to see and photograph. When I return, I hope to share some photos with you.

Visiting new places inspires me. I find that being a photographer helps me see and experience the place more keenly. What inspires you?

2008 Photographer's Market Is Now Available!
Posted by Donna

Welcome to the Photographer’s Market blog! The first thing I should tell you is that the 2008 edition of Photographer’s Market is now available. I’m excited about this edition because I think it has something for everyone—from nature photographers to portrait photographers to fine artists—even wedding photographers!

I know many of you are outdoor photographers, so with that in mind, I interviewed one of the best—Ralph Lee Hopkins. His work has been published in National Geographic, Arizona Highways, Audubon, Outside and many other publications. He serves as Director of Photo Expeditions for the Linblad Expeditions/National Geographic alliance, leading photo expeditions to Antarctica, Alaska, Baja California, and other destinations. When I first saw Ralph’s photographs I was impressed by his ability to capture not only the beauty of wildlife but also the character and individuality of his animal subjects. I was also struck by how simple and yet emotional his images are. They make great stock photos because of these qualities. Ralph has a lot to teach photographers about photographing the wilderness as well as how to successfully market their images. Check out his work at www.wilderlandimages.com. And don’t miss the interview with Ralph in the 2008 edition of Photographer’s Market.
