[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Hello from Rome Italy! Ciao! Street photography best way to learn about new destination. But you can also earn money that way. Are you a street photographer? What do you think?

[@bcegerton]

I’ve just found your channel, love the Rome shots but the old men and the Low Point Of View with Silhouette were my favourites. I’ve always wanted to go to Rome, hopefully in the next 6 months.

Welcome to my channel.

Thanks for the informations Vladimir. I am in stock business since 2012. I used to create editorial footage also but since they came with GDPR I am afraid to shoot outdoor when there are people. How do you solve GDPR issue?

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Tamislav, welcome to my channel. GDPR is beyond most people comprehension, my position is that stock agencies are big businesses with legal departments and pro lawyers, as long as photo agencies take and license editorial stock photography and video I will provide it. Feel free to subscribe to my channel.

Hello Vladimir, thank you for taking the time to make your videos. Please could you tell me have any of your shots sold yet from your street photography in Rome? If so which ones. Kind regards Lee

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Hello Lee, thanks for watching! Unfortunately I haven’t sold any pictures yet, just video clips from my side trip to Naples. Street photography images are not a big sellers unless it has a concept behind it. Like I have an old picture of road crew working on the street in DC. This picture selling every year for a few hundred dollars( I don’t do microstock).

Thanks for sharing your experience with us, it really helps to understand stock photography more and more. Keep doing this amazing work. But I want to ask you a question, that right now I am 20 years old and I want to be a photographer, how can I grow as a photographer?

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Welcome to my channel. Work hard, learn constantly, working with a professional photographer can be big help, find kind of photography you like and practice. Doesn’t matter how old you are. I started professional photography when I was 19. Never had another job. I invite you to subscribe. I hope my videos can help.

[@bibekshaw]

I subscribed you on your previous video because I knew by watching your video that you have so many skills and we have to learn so many things from you. Although I find your last video through an ad.

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Thank you. Good luck. Stay tuned for more.

[@matthoffman6962]

Amazing work as always. I’ve been curious about something. When selling street photography in a book or print. Is it 100% legal to do since the images were captured in a public setting?

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Thank you for watching. This is the question for the publisher and it’s lawyers. As far as I hear - the “art” use is different from “ commercial “ use. There are no 100% guarantees in this life...

[@matthoffman6962]

@@Vladimiradventurephotography very true! I’ve heard this as well. If you claim it as “art” or promoting it as an artistic project of work it becomes legal. However, if you use it to solely promote your business it becomes commercial.

We are heading into 2024. Stock pays peanuts. Very low rates. The cost of film has skyrocketed! What can we expect in 2024?

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

This train left looooong time ago... Find another job in 2024 and beyond.

[@abcommunication4416]

Sir regularly I am watching KZbin videos to know stock Photography. I have one doubt is it easy to earn $10000 per month every month?

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Thank you for watching. It's never easy to earn money. I don't think anybody earns 10k a month in photography now. You are welcome to subscribe.

Very helpful video - thanks. What did you use (camera and lens) to record yourself? Excellent colour, clarity and dynamic range - Peter

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Thanks. Canon 77d+24-105/3.5. Be well.

[@martinlopez3116]

See, I don't want to disturb, but supossing that at 0:29 that scarf was put by a man and not by a woman is a bit risky. Everybody can support a team altough is more popular by man I wouldn't say those things. Ay wa good vid!

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Ok, point taken. I am not a sports fan myself.

[@sullenday]

Seriously man? You're going male feminist over this?

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

It's tricky, but durable.

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Sorry,didn’t get it...

[@JuanLopez-oz9kh]

@@Vladimiradventurephotography you can use street photography as stock, but need make sure it's for the correct usage , since people faces might be recognized and you are making a living of it.

[@Vladimiradventurephotography]

Yeah, but unless you are selling images directly to clients, you have no idea how it will be used, editorially or any other way it is up to stock agency.
