This is an old one, but I am also interested in the answer.

For me, Creative Market works really well: https://creativemarket.com/PhotoMarket/collections/65237/Lightroom-Presets and I also tried selling on Etsy, but it was very slow. GraphicRiver could also be interesting. I sold Photoshop templates on this platform a couple of years ago.

... I'm not really getting anywhere with my thoughts on selling my photos by myself. I just know from experience - a website is a lot of work, especially the marketing part. I was wondering: Can anyone recommend me some professional consultant who might be able to work with me on a concept for something like that? I better invest some money in a solid concept instead of "wasting" weeks on something that won't work.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks a lot for all your nice input and feedback!!

I already set up my own website for selling photos via PhotoDeck.com (http://archive.northlandscapes.com) - but there is almost no traffic on the site and I'm not so sure how to present the images. I'm a fan of browsing through photos rather than using the search - that's why I grouped the photos into collections with similar moods/looks/topics. But this might not be the way my potential clients like to look for a photo ... But the technology behind PhotoDeck is awesome - a really powerful tool for selling photos. Maybe I should take a couple of days to set the website up properly... But have to have a solid concept first.

Thanks aswell for the links to Scandinavia agencies - will look into those later today.

I also checked www.4cornersimages.com - but don't really like the contract details. At least 3 yrs and not even sharing the photos on social media sites (which propably also includes portfolio sites like Behance). And since Behance has generated some nice deals so far - I won't give that up easily.

The longer I think about it, the better the own website distribution idea sounds - I do mostly webdesign and interface design as a freelance desinger https://dribbble.com/JanWaider - and I also do know how to do the basic SEO. And I do have time on my hands :) Did not push my website archive.northlandscapes.com yet, since I wasn't really feeling fine with the way it is right now. Still needs some improvent/concept. Also not so sure about putting the whole catalogue vs. only the best 200-300 photos on there.

Thanks a lot! Yes, I don't want to upload those on Shutterstock, Fotolia etc. -- Since I don't *have* to sell them - I'm just curious and looking around. If my research comes up with no good option -- then it's a result, too. Stocks -sadly- is still not accepting new photographers. :(

I got a couple of really interesting image license deals directly via Behance - this still works, but it's not really something you can plan.

Hello,

I'm a freelance web designer and photographer with a clear focus on Nordic landscapes - mostly Greenland and Iceland. I travel a lot and currently living in a caravan/mobile office in Iceland. I started selling some stock photos on Fotolia and CreativeMarket a couple of years ago, but mostly only my 2nd choice photos. This is doing okay (since I'm not a full time photographer) but I was wondering if there is a good place for my "portfolio shots" which focus a little more on quality over quantity? Could be exclusive, too - this is not a K.O. criteria for me.

I stumbled upon www.nordicphotos.com but I was wondering if you know of any other agency maybe a little focused on nordic imagery? I'm not talking about uploading the 1.242 view of the same waterfall in Iceland - I try to capture the  beauty/mood of the places only few people go, since I do have a lot of time on my hands.

Here is my portfolio to get an idea: https://www.behance.net/northlandscapes (www.northlandscapes.com)

Thanks in advance
-Jan
