1999 Photographer's Market (Photographer's Market, 1999) (Paperback)

~ Megan Lane (Editor)

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

There's a less-than-subtle message in the latest edition of this venerable handbook: Get wired. Join the revolution. An index to digital markets highlights those taking advantage of the latest technology; however, a helpful listing of websites is too brief, and curiously excludes any mention of such newsgroups as rec.photo.misc or alt.journalism.photo. Pulitzer prize-winning photographer Eddie Adams--in one of many "insider" interviews designed to make this annual marketing guide more accessible--applauds the creative possibilities of the new media but decries colleagues who have allowed computers to take over their minds. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great reference for any photographer's library., March 7, 1999

By A Customer

This book is a wonderful reference for beginning and experienced photographers alike. Anyone wishing to make money from his/her photography needs this book. In addition to the staggering list of markets and individual sources, this book covers basics such as copyright law, license types, taxes, etc...

Although it's not a novel, I have, on occasion found myself reading each entry page by page. It's almost a lesson in itself on what to expect from a given market, and how to approach it. An indispensable tool.

Want to make some cash with your photography? Start here!

5.0 out of 5 stars This book gives you a choice !, February 28, 1999

This book gives you a choice of places to sell your photos to different cities and publications. You may stick to just magazines and books or choose postcards and greeting cards. This book is definately well worth it. It not only tells you where to sell and who to contact, but what to do before even thinking of submitting your photos to a particular company. To go along with this book, I also recommend Sell and Resell Your Photos by Rohn Engh. It goes wonderful with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a list of publications..., May 14, 1999

By A Customer

This book has some really detailed how-to information for those submitting their photographs to various kinds of publications and organizations.

You could probably live without a copy, but not if your goal is to make a living as a photographer.
