About this event
One of 187 upcoming events at Kent Public Library, and 2,934 across the Hudson Valley.
If you are an amateur or professional digital photographer who loves taking pictures, you might want to consider stock photography as a possible source of additional income. A stock photographer shoots a variety of images and then sends them off to their stock photo agencies for them to display on their websites. When magazines, businesses, ad agencies, textbook companies, etc. need photos, they often will purchase existing images from one of these stock agencies, thereby saving the expense of having to hire a photographer to shoot new images. When the stock agency sells a photo, the payment for that sale is shared between the photographer and the stock agency. All aspects of the stock photography business will be presented. Topics will include: determining what kind of images will sell the equipment needed to shoot them adding metadata to your pictures the keywording process using a digital asset management program types of stock agencies everything else necessary to set up and run your own stock photography business A very complete handout will be distributed in class. It contains lots of information and will greatly simplify the process of understanding what’s being taught. You’ll also find it quite useful for review after the class ends. For teens and adults, ages 14 and up. Registration is required, and spaces are limited. With professional photographer Peter Glass.
