We all have different approaches to selling our images, some have to do it for a living, others aren’t particularly keen, and even if you want to engage, how do you go about it ? Well, until recently I was in the ‘not particularly interested’ camp having heard friends stories of getting only 25p from big agencies like Shutterstock or Getty for a picture when they make hundreds of pounds for it !!- I couldn’t be bothered if its only 25p to see them cream off all the main profit from your hard work, even though Mark Helliwell tried to persuade me that its the number of 25p’s you get that all add up.

It wasn’t until a couple of months ago that I heard of Picfair which is different type of agency that simply turn things on its head – you the photographer name your price (mine are all £20) and the agency add a relatively small percentage on to that price. It seems fairer that the photographer gets the main slice rather than the agency. In two months I have only sold two pictures but thankfully I’m not relying on it to put bread on the table !!

The people at Picfair seemed to like my images and asked me to be this months featured photographer in their interview blog…….here is the link….. Conor’s Picfair Interview
