Release Date: May 24, 2014

Author: Blair Howard

Welcome to the 3rd Edition of Stock Photography. The book has been substantially updated and compressed, which means we have been able to lower the price. The book now contains new photographs, and a lot more of them, plus an expanded chapter containing in-depth information on how to prep images and get them ready for submission to the stock photo agencies and, most important, how to avoid the dreaded rejections we all get from the reviewers at those agencies. I have sold thousands of photographs online through stock photo agencies, and to the national and international media using the techniques described in this book. I’m going to show you how to use those techniques to take better photographs than you ever thought possible.
