Stock photography


How did you get started with this? I remember reading somewhere that stock photography is a nickel-and-diming business given that almost anyone can produce a half decent picture with modern cameras.


By no means am I making large amounts of money. I get about $1 per day from photos on Adobe Stock. I have a portfolio of about 300-400 images taken over the past 8 years. Every so often I’ll upload some new shots.

About 1-2 times a year I’ll get a large buy (eg. $75+) from 500px, but I don’t upload there very often since they broke their Lightroom plugin.


Why did you choose Adobe Stock?

Are you uploading to any other stock agency?


I posted this as a top level response, but I've had far better luck getting money via Pixabay donations than I have on Shutterstock
