You re dying to publish your photos. But selling individual photographs to magazines and newspapers is difficult. However, selling photographs as part of a photo-text package is not. Put together packages and your sales of photographs will increase significantly. There are various reasons why this is true and several tricks to the trade.
Most editors prefer packages to writing or photography alone.
Photographs are particularly difficult for a magazine or newspaper to publish individually because they must go with something. No matter how spectacular, it is difficult for an editor to use a lone photo. Give him or her a package, however, and you re more likely to have your photo published. In other words, create a vehicle to carry the pictures. Magazines need articles.
