I haven't finish reading it yet.... July 4, 2008

..so I can't really say whether this is a good book or not, but from looking at the table of content, it seems that it covers everything about shooting and selling stock photography. Which is what the title says. So at least it is a complete book. Whether it is up to date with the current state of digital stock photography or not, that might be another issue that I don't know whether this book covers adequately or not. Because I haven't finish reading the book yet.

This book was very informative and well written, but lets you know right off that getting started in stock photography will not be easy, and probably quite expensive. The equipment requirements may prove to be prohibitive for those on a tight budget. Nothing worthwhile in life is easy, and stock photography is no exception.
 An invaluable reference. February 7, 2008

Michal Heron has been a successful freelance photographer for over thirty years, not only selling her products to photo agencies but running her own stock business and giving lectures at seminars and workshops around the country. Her DIGITAL STOCK PHOTOGRAPHY packs in the basics of capturing digital images, from working with scans and delivering acceptable product to evaluating equipment, creating releases, handling copyright options and much more. No aspiring professional photographer should be without it: it's an essential key to understanding the routines and demands of the stock photo business, and photography as well as general-interest lending libraries catering to photographers will find it an invaluable reference.

You can sell stock photography, too. January 23, 2008

Microstock, Google's "Image" search capabilities, and rampant stealing of images from Shutterfly, SmugMug, or PBase have made stock photography a lot less possible, and a great deal less profitable in recent years. However, if you're good with a camera and know how to produce large quantities of salable images, you can still make money in stock photography. Just don't expect big fees, and be happy with small payments that can pile up if your work is good.
This book, published in September 2007, is up-to-date enough that it advises you how to optimize your stock photography sales in today's real world. Read it carefully, re-calibrate your expectations, and get to work.

Looking for ways to market my photos I found this book full of useful comments. There is major difference between what one "likes" to shoot, and what "sells" in the marketplace. This book teaches you to shoot for the marketplace and develop your eye for those concepts.
