Photography in the digital age means more accessibility for all types of people. There are many individuals who label themselves as photographers just because they have the budget to purchase fancy DSLRs. The internet is also abuzz with all kinds of photography sites.
The pool of mediocre photography work passed on as good is not that rare, fortunately discovering talented people who bring new photography work, style, technique to the table is also quite abundant.
If you find yourself establishing a career and you think you have the talent and the knack for it well you have to protect yourself and your work. One of the biggest problems the field of photography deals with is copyright infringement.
Aside from watermarks one way to protect yourself and actually making money with your new hobby/ career is to sell your works as stock photography.
Check out a newsite called PhotoDeck.
“Licensing stock has traditionally been an either/or proposition,” explains photographer Stephen Kennedy. “Either let an agent in for a high percentage or try to make a name for yourself on your own.” PhotoDeck is designed to be an option that sits in between the two.
Using PhotoDeck, you’ll create your own site, with some of the more complex aspects – like SEO integration and e-commerce setup – being taken care of for you.
If you have your own website you can still integrate the site.
We don’t know the people behind PhotoDeck but we built this website to help photographers so hopefully it works for you. If you have feedback about the site let us know so we can write about it.
Check PhotoDeck website for more details.
