Commercial Photography

« previous next »


I made the decision a while back to get a little more commercial about my photography and develop some additional income streams. My "photo booth" work and paid shoots are great, but they are piecework. Stock photography is appealing because it is a way I can develop some passive income. I got my first acceptance letter from a stock house today:

Dear Michael (Atratus),
