Great Picture: For himself, however, the collector may buy a picture of every item in his collection, in addition to a picture of himself surrounded by the objects. But it would be a mistake to make only simple record shots of, say, a man's antique coffee grinders and sell him small prints. It's much more profitable to do them up salon style, so that he can display the photographs proudly.
There are great picture possibilities, too, of doing albums on certain types of collections. A man who collects big things like ing down stories on things only started or merely planned.
The woman recovered damages. Without the picture, she might not have done so. In this case, the photographer's appearance in court was short and easy. He had only to testify as to the time and date of his shooting the picture. Sometimes, however, court appearances can be long and disagreeable. Attorneys will go to great picture lengths to discredit the photographer, as if thereby they could discredit the evidence given by the picture. Through long practice, they become extremely adept at making the witness suffer.
The advantages to the buyer are obvious. Does it seem like a bad arrangement for the photographer? At first glance it might seem so, but when this same picture is sold over and over, perhaps fifty times in the course of years, the photographer eventually realizes a handsome total return for his effort in shooting the picture for stock sales.
That's why the stock picture photographer doesn't get rich quick, but enjoys a long-term income advantage for his work. Many a picture has earned, over a period of years, more than $1,000 in fees.
