Are these the stock photos of a wedding photographer?
Yes, they are.

Here is Rohn Engh’s interview with Liz Banfield
whose wedding photos appear in national magazines.
But what most photographers don’t know is that Liz
also profits from her talent and location experience to
also capture memorable stock photos that eventually
appear in national magazines, such as Town & Country,
Martha Stewart, People Magazine, and Parenting,
not as wedding pictures but as well designed stock photos.

“What Photobuyers Expect From You.”


Thanks for becoming a sustaining member* of PhotoStockNOTES. . .


Just as each photographer you know is different, each photobuyer you work with in stock photography will be different.

Their work styles will be different as well as their requirements for submitting your work to them. Here’s an excellent opportunity to hear the thoughts of 2 photobuyers, one in Oregon, and the second in California.

Once you hear the interviews by our publisher, Rohn Engh, you’ll know more of the “business etiquette” you can expect when you deal with a photobuyer. Some of their ‘rules’ are different, some are the same. Good listening!

Bruce Swenson, Operations Manager, PhotoSource International.

Gary Crabbe is a photographer, but he is also a photo researcher. (He used to work for the Galen Rowell team in California in research). Because Gary is a photographer he also shares some good points with you about dealing with a photo researcher.

There’s a wealth of advice in this interview with our marketletter editor, Lela LaBree. She points out a few mistakes that newcomers to the field of editorial stock photography (and some veteran photographers) are known to make. Photobuyers will choose not to work with photographers (despite their talent) who make these “etiquette” errors.



What do photobuyers expect from you?

Do they welcome phone calls?
Is it true photobuyers have a "filter list" where they list their non-favorite photographers? Why do they do this?
Rohn interviewed Lela LaBree, our in-house editor of the PhotoDaily, and the weekly PhotoLetter.
You’ll find the answers here.
She will serve as a perfect go-between to let you know "the other side of the story"

Listen to her interview here.

One of the benefits of the Digital Age we live in is how it allows me to interview fellow stock photographers, editors, and photo researchers by telephone and then publish the interviews on the Internet. You, as a stock photographer, can then benefit by what they have to say and instruct.

Thanks to the new technology, the conversations are recorded digitally, and (yes, like coming digital TV) the clarity is stunning.

I’ve included here part of an interview that I’ll be including in my upcoming ebook, “How To Market Your Photos”. This sample gives you an idea of the helpful content, plus the quality of transmission.

It’s a portion of my interview with a Chicago photographer, who explains how he is in the process of designing a “mini-stock agency” by recruiting fellow photographers who represent fields of photographic interest other than his own. Using leads and contacts from the PhotoDaily and PhotoLetter, he and his growing group of photographers mutually benefit.

Another interview features a photographer from North Carolina, a biologist by trade, who reveals how he’s achieved success at sending “text/photo” packages on various natural history subjects to local, regional and state magazines. I’ll send you an email soon with portions of that interview, which will also be in my marketing ebook, to give you an advance peek. The ebook will be available September 20th.

I’m excited how well these interviews are turning out, reflecting the willingness of some top pros to share their methods and expertise, for the information you’ll gain, and with the improved technology of transmitting them to you. ---Hope you’ll agree.

-Rohn
