Stock photography. Do you do it?

Hi Bazerk. I have totally no idea what microstock photograpy is about. Is it okay for you to describe what it is about?

Hi, I find it interesting that there is someone who knows about microstock. There are not many people who knows this. Well I can recommend you good microstock sites like istockphoto and fotolia. The payment rate is quite good, but of course their requirement is very high. From my experience not all of your submitted photos will get accepted. They need to be of high quality and suit market demands. Its very hard to guess which kind of photos sell well but you could always join some photography forums and learn from the discussions there. It's pretty easy to guess the current trend and fit your photos around a common subject. For example: now its near Christmas time, so naturally photos like christmas gifts, trees and so on will sell. Remember: market demand and quality determines whether your photos sell. Also, remember that not all photos are accepted. So keep sending in photos, build a profile and analyse your photos that got sold (which will give you a pretty good idea of what subject is popular). Keep at it, and you can make money from this.

I am quite new to this type of photography. I mean I have heard this type of photography for the first time. What I was aware of was only photography. But stock photography is something that is completely new to me.
