As photographers, we use different composition techniques to draw the eye and lead the viewer towards our main subject or the story we want to tell. One of my favorite composition tricks to use is “framing”. It consists of using different elements of a scene to create a frame within the frame. It’s a simple […]
We photographers are known to have G.A.S. (Gear Acquisition Syndrome). We purchase the latest equipment, thinking it’ll produce better images. Then we slip into our comfort zone and instead of working with our subject, we rely too much on our gear and make excuses when we don’t get the shot. But better gear doesn’t necessarily […]
According to our reader survey at the end of last year, many of you mentioned struggling with getting started and needing procrastination remedies for your stock photography. If it’s any relief, know that you are not alone. Our brain is programmed to procrastinate and has an easier time processing the concrete rather than abstract. I […]
One of the beautiful things about stock photography is that you are free to photograph whatever you want. You could take a photo of your dog or a plate of cookies and offer it for sale. There is no one telling you what to shoot or how your photos should look. However, since clients aren’t […]

As I mentioned last week, I’m stepping out of my role here at S&SPC for a year to welcome a new baby and learn how to be a mom. In the meantime, you’re going to get a whole new photographer to lead you through the world of taking and selling photos online… Daniel Nahabedian. Daniel’s […]
I hope you don’t mind if I get a little personal, today. Snap & Sell Photo Club is going to see some (really great) changes in the coming year, which I’ll tell you about in a sec… But first, some personal news. It’s been an action-packed year for me, despite the lockdowns and isolation. For […]
Have you heard the news? Google recently made it MUCH easier for people to find and purchase stock photos! Now, when you run a search on Google Images, a small badge will appear in the lower left corner of every photo that is available to license. I tried it out by searching for some images […]
