Digital Stock Photography: How to Shoot and Sell Review: Better Info than Booklet That Came with My Camera! - Digital Stock Photography: How to Shoot and Sell I originally bought this book to learn more about the business of stock photography, which I did. However, I learned more about digital cameras and how to use them than I did from the manual that came with my camera (I have had SLR and 35 mm cameras for several decades). Sure, the owner's manual said to go online for questions, but when you are out in the field, it's nice to have a reference book to rely on. Also helpful are the types of photos to have in a portfolio, obtaining permission from models and property owners, and what NOT to show in a photo. Excellent book for the novice photographer as well. Review: Good starter book. - I have two other books by Ms. Heron and the one is the old film version of this book so I knew she was an experienced author in what she was writing about. I started looking into stock photography years ago and mainly learned from the materials of the late Rohn Engh. His approach was that this is something that can be done by yourself and not through a stock agency so much. I emailed him several times on his bulletin board and got answers from him as well as other stock photographers. I even talked with him on the phone once. I think the first thing that I noticed about this book is that she is always telling you to have your assistant do this or that. For the person starting out, affording a person to file your photos and make back up copies is not going to happen most likely. The book is a little outdated when it is talking about technology such as she tells you to have a laptop computer to down load your photos to. Yet in the front of the book she is talking about 2 Gb memory cards and telling you to get 4 Gb cards so you don't run out of space. With memory cards many times that now, I don't think a laptop is all that necessary. Rohn Engh encouraged you to specialize, but she doesn't go into that from what I can see. That is he felt you were better off shooting helicopters and after having a bunch of them, then switch to horses or cars for example. That way you are known as a horse photographer or helicopter guy. There is a lot of information in her book on selling that I didn't know about online. I'm glad I purchased it and it is a good place to start. I no longer recommend Rohn Engh's books even though you will find some useful information in them. The business has changed so much due to digital and even though his last book dealt with it, it is a little out of date. As for me, I have never sold a photo to a magazine or other publisher, and really don't know if I will pursue stock photography after reading this book. Stock is 'area dependant' if I can use that word. Say you want to shoot pictures of jet fighters, but you live 200 miles from the nearest airport. That might not be the best choice. However, if you live in Wisconsin like I do, you will have ample opportunity to shoot farm scenes. So think those type of things over. Anyway, do buy this book if you want to get started in stock. I also suggest books by Lee Frost. Have fun. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #3,911,491 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #415 in Photography Business & Careers #625 in Performing Arts Industry #780 in Business Contracts Law | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (21) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.8 x 9 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 1581154844 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1581154849 | | Item Weight | 14.1 ounces | | Language | English | | Print length | 288 pages | | Publication date | September 18, 2007 | | Publisher | Allworth | ## Images ![Digital Stock Photography: How to Shoot and Sell - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71vn19VdDEL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Better Info than Booklet That Came with My Camera! *by Y***L on July 24, 2008* Digital Stock Photography: How to Shoot and Sell I originally bought this book to learn more about the business of stock photography, which I did.

Michal addresses what you need to do and how to determine what gear you need, depending on who you shoot for. I shoot for Getty Images and now Alamy, and each has equipment requirements that are different. She did a great job updating this book for today's digital stock photography market. Even though this book came out 13 years ago, it still as relevant today. She just about predicted how the stock photography market would progress. Make sure you check out the resources recommended. While some of the sites she write about no longer exists, her top recommended resource still exists and will catch you up on the market today. Anyone shooting stock photography or who wants to, needs this book. I can't recommend this book strongly enough. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1182086-digital-stock-photography-how-to-shoot-and-sell](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/1182086-digital-stock-photography-how-to-shoot-and-sell) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
