This shot was a genuine snap, I was in Cork doing a bit of shopping and decided to shoot some shop fronts. I took a handful of each shop, uploaded the best and there we are! They're often the successful pictures. Not the ones that come from some exotic trip faraway, but subjects closer to home, and generally mundane ! Hopefully the fee will help towards your shopping bill. Or maybe pay for a celebratory nice pint this afternoon in the local. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just looking at my sales of the past 3 months, I licensed images I took in Costa Rica, South Africa, Bolivia, Finland, France, UK, US, Australia, Panama and Brazil. In total, I sold pix from 23 countries I visited. I shoot with the travel market in mind and it seems to be working. I think there is a market for both local and exotic places.

Gen Bearing in mind that "UK" is exotic for you , but not for me. I don't travel for images and about 40% of my sales by volume are non-UK, but for many of those the fact that they're my foreign sales is almost irrelevant. Their character is a bit (but only a bit) different, because we tend to go where at least some tourists go, but many aren't "travel" images in the usual sense and a good number are licenced in the respective country for domestic consumption. I just happen to have got the sale ahead of a local photographer. So from one point of view, maybe half of my "overseas" sales aren't really overseas at all.

I just happen to have got the sale ahead of a local photographer. So from one point of view, maybe half of my "overseas" sales aren't really overseas at all. I don't doubt it's your experience Mark, but it's not mine. Every portfolio is different. You piqued my curiosity so I checked my statistics. Here are a few intercontinental sales (from/to/subject): France to South Africa (ladybird) Guyana to US (manatee) Brazil to US (rubbish in river) South Africa to US (bird) Costa Rica to US (spider, lifestyle) Finland to ‘Europe’ (Santa Claus village) Panama to US (lifestyle) Bolivia to Czek (landscape) In total, I sold pix from 23 countries to 52 different buyer's countries. Although the latter is taken from Alamy reporting buyer's 'country' which can be hazy. Further analysis shows that generally, shots from the UK are sold to the UK and Oz to Oz. It is also good news that I seem to be licensing more and more pix to the US where prices are higher. As for the UK being exotic to me, it's generally the answer I give to the million dollar question people ask me 'Where is home?'. 28 years in the UK, still have my property there. Unfortunately only temporarily in Oz to my greatest chagrin. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely. It struck me straight away when AlbertSnapper mentioned 'exotic'. I wasn't sure what he meant by that. I nearly put it between quotes in my reply. I visited a monkey sanctuary in Borneo recently. The proboscis monkeys were all lined up looking at us. We were joking that they were thinking 'oh, we haven't seen a Brit or a German recently...' Totally agree. Gen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We all seem to live in a pre-Copernican age, when all the planets revolve around us. The Self and Others was first published in 1961. Maybe time for a re-read with the knowledge of today. ;-) Here's a play on that. I admit it's one of my own I just found: http://masshumanities.org/event/EV_180131013400/ Click view image to view a larger size. I like the use a lot. It's the first time it has sold. - Presentation or newsletter use. Funny one can feel satisfied more because of an inventive use like this, than one of those Marketing package - Large business. With $199 not to sneeze on btw. The main page does use more stock imagery, but it's mostly impossible to find a credit, because almost all are these historic images that appear exactly the same in the hundreds here and elsewhere. But have a look, you might find more presentation uses here. (I found some, but not from Alamy.) wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
