This photo is from the James Bond Island in Thailand.

Trust me, this photo paid all my expenses from my trip to Thailand!

it is hard to sell any ordinary photo. (As you can see, I also added the original photo that I posted, which looks quite dull and ordinary. Thousands of tourist take photos from this exact spot!)

What people are actually paying for, are my skills in post-processing and editing, which made this ordinary photo turn into this beautiful HDR photo. And guess what? This photo is actually one of my best-selling photos on Shutterstock, that is now one of my favorites!

Unfortunately, Shutterstock (and many other stock photo websites) has decreased the prices a lot after Corona pandemic and the AI industry boom, (but the good news is) my photos are still selling every month.

So go ahead and try to sell your amazing photos on stock photo websites!

Have you ever tried to sell your photos online, or would you rather keep them as personal memories? Let me know in the comments!
