Types Of 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 possibilities, too, of doing albums on certain types of picture of collections. A man who collects big things like ing down stories on things only started or merely planned.
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.
The picture was important because it constituted legal evidence. My would-be client didn't want to take a chance on entrusting this picture to just any photographer, because he was afraid the picture might be muffed.
I turned down the job for two reasons: first because I don't want my Camera to embarrass any woman and second because I didn't want to be dragged into court as a witness in the divorce case.
