Where To Sell Wildlife Pictures
If you love wildlife photography then a career as a freelance photographer is well worth considering. If you want to start a business in freelance photography there are three main ways to sell your photos.
1. Stock Photography
Stock photography refers to a stock of existing photographs that can be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, magazines, advertising agencies, filmmakers, web designers, and graphic artists are all examples of users of stock photography. They can use stock photography instead of hiring a photographer to shoot the photographs they need.
As a photographer when you take photographs those photos become a part of your ’stock’. As the copyright holder you can license the images again and again. Your stock photos can be sold online through stock agencies and microstock sites, or by approaching publishers and other users directly, or you can sell them through your own web site.
2. Photography Products
You can take your photographs and create products for sale. Some examples of possible photography products include posters, prints, postcards, t-shirts and even books.
At CafePress, for example, you can design a wide variety of customizable products using your photos with zero upfront costs and zero inventory investment.
3. Photography Services
Another way to work in freelance photography is sell your skills, to sell your services as a photographer. In this capacity you could work on assignment for portraits, for weddings, or for various types of business project.
If you only want to work part-time at your photography, then working as a freelance photographer is still a great way to earn a little extra cash or to pay for your next digital camera or lens.

Working as a wildlife photographer
Composition is important for wildlife photography and the way you compose an image depends on what the end purpose for it is. You will be shooting to sell, photographing for a competition or like.
Artist Jerry Ricketson stands next to an example of his original landscape oil paintings he sells at the Wildlife Art Show in Tulsa. Instead, many artists sell and interact with their customers through the Internet, Greenwood said. Still, Greenwood said the Tulsa Wildlife Art Show continues to be a steady success every year.
I have decided to sell some of my nature & wildlife photos online as I have many daily requests for prints of the photos. People email me requesting to buy my nature & wildlife photos so I have setup a site.
