LLART 190 - Be Successful in Stock Photography

Have you ever wondered how to parlay your love of photography into a remunerative business or side business? In this class, we will explore microstock photography, a relatively new industry that allows any photographer the opportunity to sell his/her photographs online. We'll take a quick look at the history of microstock photography, then move through the application process, equipment requirements, image editing, and key wording. Reading the market and idea generation-the twin keys to success-will be covered in depth, along with how to manage a microstock business. The final class will be a hands-on photo shoot with professional lighting and models, giving each student a start in his or her microstock adventure.
