This review is from: 2009 Photographer's Market (Paperback)

I have purchased Photographers Market for several years and they are about the best book around for giving you places to sell (the use of) your photos. Not only magazines but business periodicals and even galleries are listed. Also some brief info on how to go about contacting these places. Probably now one of the most important is how they want images sent. Some want only digital, others will take slides but no prints, others will want only medium or large format. A must have.

This review is from: 2008 Photographer's Market (Paperback)

This book is a helpful marketing tool for photographers (part or full-time). It lists lots of potential marketing possibilities that I wouldn't know about otherwise. The information is updated as much as possible, but as with anything in publishing and business its always a moving target. Suggestion for future editions: include a CD that has the contact information of the various business, with their websites and tagged with keywords. That would make an already very useful tool awesome.

I have found this book to be a wealth of information. It is of a very diverse nature for those looking to do work or just be a freelance photographer. I have only begun to read this comprehensive and detailed book. It covers just about everything, i.e. financials, needs, specs, making contact & terms, tips, etc. I was referred to this directory by a friend who has been a long time photographer. I would recommend this book to everyone.
