A Must Have Book on Every Photographers BookshelfBy Michael BaileyI have been a user of this and other "Market" books in this ongoing series and have always been very impressed. Apart from the detailed descriptions of where a photograper can sell or exhibit his or her work I find the helpful stories and advice in the front and located throughout the book nearly as helpful. Also useful and a "freebie" is the ArtistsMarketOnline feature accessible with a code under a scratch off on the very first page. If you dont get your moneys worth out of this book in a year; then you just arent working hard enough.7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. A Gold Mine of InformationBy Yvonne CWell composed and certainly a wealth of information; this book should be in the hands of all who want to become pro photographers or just offset the cost of their gear.It contains model and property release forms; info on copyrights; pay rates; contracts; running your business (large or small); secrets to social media success; managing your clients; and so much more. It also has articles and interviews with a pro sports photographer; fine art photographer; and a newbie wedding photographer whos doing well. Each article and interview contains nuggets of helpful information.Theres also a section that is brimming with information about available markets: This ALONE is worth the price of the book!Information on photo buyers pay scales; openness to photographers (newbies; hard to break into; closed to unsolicited submissions; etc.). These ratings will save you a LOT of time and frustration.The section "How to Start Selling Your Work" gives you a lot to consider and helps you narrow your field of interest.BOTTOM LINE: This book is all that you need to find buyers for your photos. Now; if you dont already have them; get a GOOD tripod and QUALITY lenses (more important for tack-sharp shots than the body of your camera) and develop an eye for composition and lighting. Then go make some money!7 of 8 people found the following review helpful. SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUTBy Bill McLeanIm not a professional photographer. I was just curious. Yet; I am finding listings in this book of photo buyers who might be interested in publishing some of my pictures. Ive already submitted a CD of 50 photographs to "Dog Fancy Magazine." Ill probably go nuts if they publish even just one.This book is a lot more than an organized listing of photo buyers and their individual requirements for submitting pictures. Included first (in each listing section) are short discussions of how to think separately about photos for books; magazines; etc. Also; the first part of the book contains short articles about various professional photographers and kinds of photographic business. Its a good read.Probably very useful for freelance photographers; I think this book would also be a good read if youre an amateur photographer thinking about going pro. It may polarize your thoughts one way or the other.
