Fotogym: Stock Photography with Maynard

Stock is a type of photography where the aim is to produce clean,attractive, reusable images for graphic designers, advertising agenciesand web sites - and then sell them to as many people as possible! This Fotogym aims to give you an overview of what stock is, how it works and how to take great stock photos. You'll then be challenged to go out and take a photo that could be sold as stock. Finally we'll review the results, and if you're interested, discuss how to take your first steps into the world of stock photography.

    Thanks Maynard. I learned a lot and not just about stock photography although I feel like I would know where to start now and what to look for. But I also learned about looking at things in a different way and that... is just the best thing... Cheers!

    Maynards talk was really excellent, I now feel really well informed about stock photography and it's pro's and cons. The trouble was that maynard did such a good job of getting across the harsh realities it almost felt a little bit like a downer at the end. This is no reflection on maynard, he was simply being honest.
