Shooting & Selling Your Photos

This is an excellent book for anyone who wants to know how to make money with your Photography. The Author gives some very good ideas that doesn't cost alot of money to get started. I would recommend this book very much.

I am trying to start selling my photos and want to know the best way to get started. This book has great information.

All in all, I think this is a good book for those wanting to actually sell photographs, not those who want to learn how to take a good photograph. The reader shold keep that in mind. Jim covers a lot of thoughts that are necessary to get published. If that's your goal, then this book will help you greatly. Digital - While I would have liked to see more coverage, keep in mind that this book was published in 2003 and likely written in 2002. And Jim consistenly uses medium format cameras. At that time, digital had not progressed as far for those types of cameras, primarily from a cost/benefit perspective. If Jim were more of a 35mm user, I'm sure we would have seen more coverage. Photo information - I would have liked more information on the photo locations and how the photos came to be taken. There is explanation on many, but I wish it was provided for more of the photos in the book. Portfolio ideas - I liked his suggestions of potential shoot locations and ideas. It really got me thinking and I've made a long list of ideas to try in 2008.

Excellent book for Photographers!! As a new photographer, this is a great book. I found the information so helpful and truly easy to understand!

Mr. Zuckerman gets right to the point and doesn't waste the readers time. All the important points are covered, as well as small details that other authors fail to mention and that the reader may not have even considered. I appreciate the honesty of Mr. Zuckerman, who just tells it like it is, the good side of the business and the bad. If you seriously want to get into the photography business, you'll find this book a valuable resource.
