Welcome to David Sanger – Adventure and Travel Stock Photographer based in the San Francisco Bay area…

“For the last nineteen years I have made my living as a travel photographer, going places and photographing for magazines, books and now primarily stock photography. After all this time it never fails to amaze me that here so many interesting people and places in this world.

For a nice writeup of my travel photography work check out this recent feature in PhotoMedia.

In addition to the travel work I shoot for corporate, shipping and non-profit clients including Bank of America, Exxon, the National Park Service, Clorox and Interorient.

Coming from a tech background (quite a few years in corporate systems and consulting in a past life) I’m fascinated by technology, web design, data, communications and social media, especially how these offer photographers new opportunities for expression and for business.

I am a strong believer in public service and am a board member and past-president of the Stock Artists Alliance representing stock photographers worldwide.

You can find my images and license them at Getty Images, Alamy Images and also directly from this site (delivery via Photoshelter)”

Turn Your Photography Into a Cash Machine

dreamstime stockphotography Turn Your Photography Into a Cash Machine picturesSelling photos online has never been easier. With the creation of micro stock photography sites such as Dreamstime, the ability for individual photographers to market and sell their work is unlimited. Online since 2000 as a Royalty-Free stock photography website, Dreamstime ranks third in stock photography audience with over 2,000,000 images online and over 4 million unique monthly visitors.

If you have not already please show your support for us by subscribing to our rss feed!

Personally, I have been a user of this site for over 4 years. Even though I am a photographer, I love the affordable royalty-free images. When tasked to create a presentation or promotional material with a tight deadline, it is much more affordable and quicker to select an image from the Dreamstime’s vast library versus doing my own photoshoot. No model fees, studio rental costs, just a few dollars per image.

For photographers considering working for a micro stock photography, the income per image is not extremely high. However, you have the benefit of affordable pricing and tremendous traffic that work in your favor. Each time an image is downloaded, you receive a royalty payment. The great thing about this arrangement is your royalty payments increase based on the popularity of your image. Check out Sell Your Images for complete payment schedule!

If you are interested starting a career in stock photography, or just looking for some extra income, I would highly recommend a great book by Michal Heron titled, “How to Shoot Stock Photos that Sell”. It’s a very affordable book, jammed full of tips to get you headed in the right direction.
