Take Pictures, Sell Features ©Solange Hando
What images do editors want?
Original
Colourful
Telling a story
No need for sophisticated equipment,
Just be ready and capture the moment
Getting up Close, Taking Photos ©Solange Hando
What else should you aim for?
Variety
Close ups and distance
People and scenery
Action shots
Landmarks? Take the usual view and an unusual angle
The more, the better, you never know what you will need
Think multiple markets and multiple sales
Sweet Tooth in Kathmandu ©Solange Hando
Have you seen this anywhere?
Probably not
Original, colourful and a cheeky monkey
Be prepared
Look around
The unexpected is always best
Ladakh Scenery, India ©Solange Hando
Scenery?
Great
But most magazines like to add a semblance of life
Could be
a human being, cattle, sheep, a bicycle, a rucksack, a book on a bench
Top Tips
Don't be so obsessed with the camera you'll miss what's going on right behind you
Have pictures of yourself on location, someone will ask you for that
Make sure the images you send match your chosen market, just as the words should do
