Painted Photographs

These photos use processes from painting programs like Corel Painter.
These application offers a wide range of traditional artists' materials and tools. With the aid of a drawing tablet the user is able to reproduce the effect of physical painting and drawing media. There are also a few non-traditional items such as the Image Hose, pattern pens, F/X, Distortion and Artist tools for beginners to use and for applying less conventional effects to an image or a piece of work.

Stock Photography

Stock photography consists of existing photos in a picture library, image bank or photo bank that can be licensed for specific uses. Publishers, advertising agencies, graphic artists, and others use stock photography to fulfill the needs of their creative assignments.

A customer who uses stock photography instead of hiring a photographer can save time and money, but can also sacrifice creative control. Stock images can be presented in searchable online databases, purchased online, and delivered via download.

I find I have improved the quality of my photography by selling my photos at Stock Sites. As most sites have some form of quality control, your photos need to be of a certain standard to be accepted by these sites.

Although rejection can be hard to accept at first, if you persist you will be accepted and sell photos.

Below are some photos that I have sold on Stock Photography sites.

Red Bubble is my favorite site because it gives me the chance to display my artistic photos which are my main interest.
I am most interested in nature photography and new techniques to give a different look to photo’s.
