My Stock Photography Journey

[Mark L]

In a previous life working in the print industry i would have to shoot random things, from pizza's to real estate. We would then upload images to the stock sites and reinvest the $ we made by buying other stock images for the magazine.

Why didn't the magazine simply employ you to take the photos they wanted?

Because when you are doing artwork for 50-60 clients who have no idea what they want or don't have any images and you have a tight deadlines you cant really spare the time to source models, location etc.

Editorial photos yes we took but generic get fit, family or travel pics much easier and cost effective to go with stock.
