Re: How to make money from photography?

It's like a catalogue of photographs that design agencies, marketing companies etc go to when they need a certain image for a job.

So the stock photography company has photos of almost anything and everything, and when a company wishes to use one they pay - and the photographer is then given a commission.

So images that get used more than once, get you commission more than once

(ps I changed the title of the thread so more people may notice it )
