How to develop your own freelance assignments
The active freelance photographer is the one who gives himself assignments to shoot . By read ing newspapers , magazines , books and other periodicals you will get ideas for pictures or series of shots that can be sold . Analyze the news stories of events coming up , of unusual happen ings or interesting places to visit . Determine what the reading public might be interested in seeing in the printed page , on a calendar , in a picture postcard or some other form of publication .
Study all aspects of the self - assigned project which you have chosen to shoot . Research it thoroughly so you will know everything possible about the subject because this will aid you in planning picture coverage and it will help you tell your story when you submit the material to the market . You must go about this pre - planning with thoroughness . You cannot afford to tackle a story on a slip - shod basis . You must work with a professional approach , attitude and ability .
Keep abreast of major projects in your area or nearby . There may be a story angle of local interest but more importantly , it may have national or international impact . Perhaps the subject will be one that fits the need for a special company pub lication in the house organ field . There are several thousands of such publications and many of them buy freelance photography .
Don't overlook the smaller side angles on certain types of stories that involve products or services . Manufacturers , suppliers and service companies are always looking for good photos showing their product being installed or used . Some of these photos can be sold to multiple markets , too .
AERIAL PHOTOS are specialty market for newspapers , industry , magazines , calendars , govern mental agencies , real estate firms . J. P. Kamnik shot this for Iron Ore Company of Canada .
Keep your camera handy -- always
The photographer who is always prepared to go to work taking pictures is the one who proves most successful . When something happpens there isn't time to run back to the shop to get equip ment . Often , the first one on the scene gets the best and most important pictures especially of accidents , fires or other spontaneous events .
You might find it worthwhile to buy yourself a couple of shortwave radio receivers with which to monitor the police and fire department fre quencies in your area . Such sets are available for about $ 40-50 . By keeping them tuned in while you are at home or in your shop , you will pick up emergency calls immediately and can proceed directly to the scene ready to get salable pictures .
Pictures of fires , accidents , explosions and dis asters readily sell to newspapers and some maga zines . On occasion , where the interest in the event is broader than local circles , your photos will have sales potential to the newsphoto services such as Associated Press and United Press International .
By shooting a broad coverage , rather than just one or two shots , you may be able to sell more than one market - a daily paper and a weekly , for instance . Or , there may be more than one daily paper interested and so long as you supply each with different photos you will be within your rights to sell both .
Many news - type events also involve insurance coverages and insurance companies are likely mar kets for secondary sales . Photos of major fires , for example , can be sold to newspapers , television , insurance companies , fire prevention associations such as the National Fire Protection Ass'n and even to technical publications having firemen for their readership .
A technical article , illustrated with your pic tures describing the fire - fighting problem and tactics at a major fire , is likely material for one of the fire service publications . Not being a pro fessional fireman you probably won't be able to write such a technical story - but if you furnish newspaper clippings along with your photos , the magazine staff will research and develop the story .
Additional markets can also be found for your fireground pictures . Manufacturers and distribu tors of fire apparatus and equipment are in the market for pictures which show their products in use . Don't overlook a single possibility where a sale might be made .
