LensFlare 35 is a weekly show brought to you by Dave Warner. In this week’s episode, Dave interviews Canon Photographer Jack Hollingsworth. According to Jack’s bio, he is one of the most well-known names in stock photography and not only sells stock through Getty, Corbis and his own site, but was a founder of Blend Images as well as Red Chop Sticks and Photos India – all stock agencies. Jack has been described as “Indiana Jones with a camera” due to his constant world travel. Jack teaches, lectures, blogs and has a column in Shutterbug magazine.
In this episode, Jack talks about how he has adjusted his approach to stock with the addition of micro-stock agencies, whether they are good or bad for the industry, how video is impacting the stock world, and how YOU can get picked up to do stock on a commission basis, as well as the best way to become a stock photographer and the specific steps you should take to become one.
