Fancy making your bank account as full as your camera roll? If (like us) you can't resist a good photo opp, think less pouts and more £££s by cashing in on your digital photos.
As a hobby, photography can be pricey, but that doesn't mean you need the most expensive cameras on the market to make money from your photos.
In fact, if you've got a decent phone camera and a steady hand, you're already in with a shot.
However you take your pics, there are a growing number of ways to monetise photos you've already taken. And there are heaps more ways to develop your photography skills - and income - from selling your Insta stock to going all out and making a photo book.
Read on to find out how to live the dream and make a living from photography.
How to sell photos through stock libraries
Stock libraries buy and sell digital photos to use on websites, in books, on products and even in ads, with the photographer getting a cut of the sale each time.
Selling photos through a stock site is a great way to surf passive income streams: you can upload a photo once and sell it over and over again, pretty much forever!
You may have to submit a selection of pics (and be accepted) before you can become a stock library contributor. After that, some sites will continue reviewing all your submissions, and will happily bounce any that they think don't meet their standards.
What this means is you'll always need to be on the ball about picking your best shots. Don't get too hung up about rejections, though - join multiple stock-image sites and post pics to all of them to get the best possible coverage.
