PhotoShelter Guide Explains How to Sell Nature Photography

Selling Nature Photography” is one of the latest educational guides from PhotoShelter, a worldwide leader in photography portfolio websites and sales and marketing tools for photographers. The free guide provides key marketing insights from leading nature photographers such as Art Wolfe and buyers such as National Geographic.

PhotoShelter released the guide in partnership with Outdoor Photographer magazine, which provides photography technique articles and gear reviews for nature, travel, and wildlife photographers.

The introduction to “Selling Nature Photography” describes various markets for nature photographs, noting that “Some photographers stick to one type of revenue stream, though just as many choose to dabble: sell a few art prints, pitch a few editorial stories, sell to stock photo buyers, or take emerging photographers on tours.”

The guide provides specific advice on how to turn your passion for outdoor photography into a business. To help you grow sales, the guide includes:

  • Questions to ask before pitching to editorial clients
  • Tips  for getting nature photography featured in public spaces
  • Insights from nature-photography buyers who who are on the lookout for new images to publish and photographers to feature.

The guide also explains why being a persistent business person and protecting your interests is a must. Interviews with Art Wolfe, Jerry Monkman, Martin Bailey, Jody MacDonald and Grant Kaye shed light on what techniques these successful photographers use to bring clients through the door and create sustainable businesses in nature photography.  According to Monkman, “If you’re willing to stay the course, and work your butt off, it’s the best job in the world.”

“Selling Nature Photography” is one of the latest additions to PhotoShelter’s library of free business guides for photographers and marketing professionals.  PhotoShelter’s e-book library includes more than 20 guides on topics such as Google Analytics for photographers, email marketing, search engine optimization, selling fine-art photography, and starting a photography business.
