Jeg har solgt mit første "stock" foto


"Stock photo" er fotoarkiver, hvor alle der har brug for et foto til en speciel lejlighed, kan købe fotos. Et af de helt store er iStockPhoto.

Jeg har nu solgt mit første foto via iStockOhoto, der viser et typisk dansk strand perspektiv med store vidder og høj himmel (se ovenfor). 

Jeg vil tro, at dette foto er købt i forbindelse med det store mediefokus der har været på Danmark i den sidste tid pga. klimatopmødet, hvor der har været behov for at vise noget "typisk dansk" i forbindelse med en beskrivelse af Danmark.
Vi taler ikke store penge :-) men det er en start, der giver blod på tanden. Kravene er høje til fotoets kvalitet (man skal igennem en streng godkendelsesprocedure for hvert foto, der sættes til salg) og der er ligeledes strenge krav til copyright, modeltilladelse, visuelle brands etc. Der er dog flere amatørfotografer, som tjener en skilling ved at fokusere på et tema og så dyrke dette fotografisk (f.eks. "julen"). Dermed er det nemmere at finde deres foto og har kunderne først fået øje på en fotograf, der løbende leverer anvendelige foto indenfor et eller flere temaer, så kan det blive et godt økonomisk supplement til at det fotoudstyr man køber!

Two Paths - Day 64

Days are going by - time is flying - we are getting older - the world is moving. Tic Tac Tic Tac. My professional career has come to a halt and it's time to reflect about the possibilities that opens up in such a situation. It's been a month since I stopped at Strålfors and all days (and some nights) has been used to reflect upon this situation. I've chosen to follow the obvious path - find a new job - and all my network is being activated. But another path has slowly emerged - and to no ones surprise - this path evolves around photography. I'm not talking about becoming a photographer, but to become part of the industry. Tomorrow I'll fly to Stockholm to meet some interesting people who successfully has opened a photography museum in Stockholm - Fotografiska.eu - and I'm going to here about their project and journey. The photo that I shot this afternoon in the woods nearby my home symbolise the break from Strålfors and the two new paths that I've ch...

Press photographer has to face a lot of moral issues

Every year we hear about press photographers being killed while trying to capture a decisive photo and document the truth. They also have to face a bunch of moral issues while being close to death and people in need of help. In my opinion it is vital to capture a photo that can influence decisions on a large scale. But when faced with the choice of either keep taking pictures or trying to change the course of a situation by personal interaction (and maybe risk your own life), I can only imaging the moral issues a press photographer must deal with in a few decisive seconds.
