How to Take Photographs That Will Make You Money

There are billions of photographs out there on the internet, so in order for your pictures to sell well and make you money, you need to find a way to stand out from the rest.  I will explain a few ways to do this and how you can know that your pictures are going to sell like crazy.  Your photography can bring in a decent income every single day even if you are not a professional photographer and only take pictures with your digital camera for the fun of it.

First, take pictures that of superb quality.  Even though I put this first, it is not the most essential quality of an image that sells a lot.  But without a good quality picture you will really be cutting yourself short.  Always be working on your craft.  Make sure there is no blurriness, no digital noise (or grain), no over saturation of the colors, no blown out highlights, and make sure the contrast is no over done or under done.  Every time you press the shutter button you should analyze the scene and see how you can improve on it.

Secondly, you need to focus on creativity.  This is what will set you above the rest.  Don’t just copy someone else’s idea.  Always be looking for different perspectives and angles.  Try shooting from below or above the subject and don’t frame the subject in the center of the picture.  Use strong leading lines to draw the viewers attention to the main thought.  And above all, don’t be afraid to try something new.  The rules of photography were meant to be broken, so express your uniqueness with every shot you take.

And thirdly, find what kinds of pictures buyers are looking for.  You can look at any stock photography website and find what search terms are being used the most and even find out what images are selling the most.  As I said above, do not copy those exact photographs, but use them to give you other ideas to use your digital photography to make you as much money as possible.
