Re: Photographers


Brook,
 
As a garden photographer have I got a bone to pick with you.
 
There is AT LEAST as much ART those goes into the making of great photograph as compared to the art goes into making a great piece of writing.
 
Photographers deserve to feed their families too!
 
This is exactly the attitude that I've seen pervasion with garden writers for years and the real sad part of this story is that many, many garden writers DON'T charge for the photography. They give the photographs away FREE just to get their article published.
 
So where does that leave a garden photographer? A dirt poor artist?

I'm wondering if the photographers
on this list sell your old stuff directly to publications.


Certainly we do, Nancy.

But I wonder why you aren't taking your own pix?

One of the things I stress in my How To Freelance -course is that you're cutting yourself off from sales if you don't take your own photos. Many publications insist on a complete package from freelancers. And, with those who do buy photos separately, better the money goes into your pocket than somebody elses.

Photography, even great photography, isn't all that hard.


Brook
