It’s my favourite time of the month, as we announce a brand new gem from Craft & Vision. Microstock: From Passion to Paycheck by Nicole S. Young is a candid look at how new photographers can get into the microstock industry, but more than that, this eBook shows you how to create and process images worthy of being sold professionally – A skill which every photographer should learn, from hobbyists to professionals alike.

I’ve read it cover to cover and I feel it’s worth repeating. Whether you are looking to make a few pennies from your images, large sums of cash, or you simply enjoy photography as a hobby, there is something to be learned from this particular eBook.

Here’s what I love about this eBook:

• Learn how to discover your niche and create quality content
• Learn how to determine what types of photos are the ones that sell
• Techniques for dealing with image artifacting, fringing, and noise
• This eBook walks you through all of the microstock terminology in a very simple to follow manner
• Gain a competitive edge and learn how to get into the microstock business the right way

Microstock is one of those industries which offers so many photographers an opportunity to make some extra money with their photography. Whether it’s a part-time income or full-time like the author, Nicole shows you just what you need to know to get started making money in this industry. We all take photos anyways and there are some great opportunities to be had by any/all of us. Bottom line, I feel this book will give you an edge in the microstock business, as well as in your own progerss as a photographer… and anything which helps us to improve our craft is worthwhile to our development as photographers.
