BOOK COVER PHOTOGRAPHY | Working with Creative Stock Agencies | Wild Empress | 2019

Описание: Hi, I'm Vanessa from Wild Empress. I am all about fine art photography, conceptual photography, composite photography, self portraits, book cover photography and Photoshop tutorials, how- tos and speed edits. I also like thrift store shopping, and all things DIY for props and costumes!

This video goes over my experience working with an online creative stock agency to license my photography for book covers. I talk about why I chose to work with an agency as opposed to licensing my image as freelance photographer working directly with publishing houses, or self-publishing authors. So if you are interested in these different ways of licensing your photography than this video will help you decide what is the best way for you.

This is a pretty big topic so if there is anything that I didn't cover please leave a comment so I can answer it below. That way anyone else who is wondering the same thing will also find the answer!

The agencies I have worked with provided model release forms for me to use, but here is a generic one from the internet that you can use as a template if you choose to freelance.
