SUBMIT PHOTOS: STOCK PHOTO AGENCIES AND SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES

Posted by Rupesh Kumar Karki
I have come back, I could not post anything  on my blog because of tragic, I lost my mother but not her warmth and love. I know one thing that her love and blessings are always with me and she resides in my heart and whatever photo shoot I have been doing these all are dedicated to her. I have been able to do all these photography activities because of her inspiration and my father and wife support and even today they are helping me in some or the other way.

Today I wish to cover a topic on exploring the internet in a way to boost up yourself in the field of photography. Though this path is not very easy but not even tough enough that one could not do anything. This is the test of your patience and hard work with creativity and if you succeed in this then you are rewarded that may be in the form of dollars or gifts.
You are the owner of your creative idea and how you carry yourself with this is your way of thinking and if your images are awesome then no one can stop you from achieving new heights in this field. I don't think that one should stick to a particular category instead keep snapping photos which inspire you to go ahead. Such websites are available which inspire you to show your creativity and clarity of work. Once anything photographed becomes an art. If you wish to go in the field of stock photography then this is the list of few ones:

1. Shutterstock

2. Fotolia

3. Dreamstime

4. Alamy

5. Bigstock

6. 123RF

7. iStock

8. FreeDigitalPhotos

9. DepostiPhotos

10. Photodune

The above-mentioned list is of agencies that are good enough to sell your creative hard work and provides you good earning. Shutterstock is a place where quality photos are selected and then they are being allowed to be published for sale with keywords so that they can be easily located by the buyers. This is a very famous stock agency that offers good price and place for your work. Similarly, others also prove good and can be a good place to sell your work and earn some extra earning or enough to motivate you.
Apart this, you can also join some social sites that are particularly good for either photographer (whether beginner or pro) or photography lovers (those who love to see or purchase the photos). Below is the list of those websites that are good for both:
1. Photoshelter

2. Orosso

3. Foliolink

4. Zenfolio

5. FolioHD

6. 500px

7. SmugMug

8. Pixpa

9. 1X

10. Folio Websites

These are few websites and some of them are social networking sites and photo selling sites or portfolio, social networking and photo selling websites.
One should look for opportunities to excel in life and achieve good rewards using these websites and few of the websites are the effortless way of earning money. In today's world, one can't be the only hobbyist he has to be also an earner because unless and un till you earn something how is it possible to fulfill your desires and you can remain, hobbyist, only if you are able to purchase good lenses and other gears also.
Mostly, you should try to flash your photos in social network site like facebook because there you can find various groups who are allowing only photographers to join their community and it is not so that a hobbyist is not a photographer, many times it has been seen that people say I am not a photographer, I am a hobbyist. For me, one who is interested in photography and could take few good pictures is a photographer and I love to be called a photographer because photography is an art and test of your creativity and a way of presenting your creation in different ways and as per mood also.
The above mentioned social sites also give out a photo quest either weekly or monthly and ask to submit best ever photos as per the topic of that particular quest and the person who won is rewarded gifts as per the condition they offer. Even I keep on submitting photos regardless whether I will win or not, but it gives a kind of satisfaction when you receive a word of appreciation from a photographer. Similarly, you can post photos in facebook community and ask them their views and editing styles.
This is a topic which is endless and we can keep on discussing stock agencies and social networking sites and their benefits. So, do join such group, agencies, and social sites in order to boost yourself in the field of photography.
