First of all, photos that can generate income must be excellent photos and be needed by someone. It’s up to others to judge the quality of your pictures.

There is currently a very good platform - Pixel Bee. On this platform, as long as you publish your works, you will be rewarded, and you can also gain income from interaction. Many people earn more than ten yuan every day. Although not much, it can still reflect part of the value of the photo.

You can also contribute to the gallery. At present, it is easy to sign a contract with Tuchong's gallery, and the conditions are not high, and you can upload the gallery to sell pictures even if you have not signed a contract.

The conditions for signing a contract for visual pictures are a bit high, but once signed, relatively more pictures will be sold, and the income from creative pictures will be much higher. There are many top masters with annual income exceeding one million. Moreover, photographers who have not signed a contract with Vision Pictures can now sell pictures, but the review time is longer.

There are many more photo galleries, so I won’t list them all.

In addition, you can submit articles to newspapers and periodicals, and you will receive royalties if you use them.

You can also participate in various competitions, and you will get bonuses if you win.

Hello, as a photographer who has worked in a TV station, worked as a photo gallery, and participated in competitions. Teacher, let me share my experience.

For now, I think the photos I take can generate income in the following three places:

1. Supply to the media

2 .Supply to major photo galleries

3. Participate in some photography competitions

Then let’s analyze these three aspects separately

1. Provide contributions to the media

This is actually easy to understand. For example, newspapers, news agencies, magazines and other media parties that need to use pictures.

But it is divided into two parts, the first is news and the second is art.

The news category refers to places where news is reported. The pictures they need must have a strong real-time nature. The basics only need to be appropriately composed, respect the facts, and have accurate exposure. Such organizations may be local, national, or even global. You can easily find these organizations online.

The art category refers to categories that require a more professional level, such as photographing food for food media; photographing portraits for fashion media; photographing scenery for landscape media, etc. This aspect requires a person's professional ability. Only if you take really good photos can you provide them with content.

2. Contribute to major photo galleries

This point is also very straightforward. Just take photos and upload them to the photo gallery, and then you will get dividends if someone buys them.

There is no doubt that a particularly well-taken photo can be sold, but how much it can sell is not necessarily certain. Because this is determined by the buyer's purchase reason. The buyer buys the picture first to be useful, and secondly to choose the best-looking and most suitable one among the useful photos.

So the above reasons are the reason, if you want to be a professional photo contributor. You need to research each industry, what kind of pictures will be needed, and then shoot according to the needs. For example, in the business category, business people in suits and ties are having business negotiations in a bright conference room. Such photos can be used for certain publicity.

Of course, if you are not specializing in photo gallery contribution, then just upload whatever you like. If someone buys it, it is also a kind of recognition.

3. Participate in photography competitions

This aspect is easier to understand. Use the photos you take to participate in various competitions, or take photos specifically for competitions.

Let’s not talk about big competitions. Everyone knows that it is very difficult to get bonuses. But let’s talk about one type that people may overlook, which are competitions organized by localities or institutions. This kind of small photography competition usually has bonuses or prizes, and because it is a local and regional type, there are not many participants, and the level of participation is also uneven. In this type of competition, it is still very possible to win, but You need to pay attention to local or nearby news from time to time.

The above are the three places I know where you can make money from the pictures you take. Of course, the most important thing is your own level. The higher your level, the easier it will be to do anything.

Finally, I wish you gain what you like on the road of photography.
