The UK's freelance photographers and their aspiring peers are preparing to snap up the 22nd edition of The Freelance Photographer's Market Handbook, which is being hailed as the definitive guide for freelancers to make cash in 2006.
The new book, due to be published on October 1, contains over a thousand listings providing the freelance photographer with the necessary end-clients or contacts needed to ensure a lucrative start to the year.
It details hundreds of markets, conventional and non-conventional, which demand pictures and images required by specialist, trade and consumer magazines.
Costing around 15 pound, the guide also lists the subject matter of an eclectic group of publications, with each entry spelling out the format required, fees paid and the suitable person to contact.
According to ephotozine, owners of the manual will be empowered to contact a host of potential clients beyond the norm of magazines, such as book publishers, greeting card vendors, postcard and calendars.
For those starting out, another section helpfully explains the business terms of agencies, the individual contents of their stock library as well as the markets supplied to and subjects required.
Industry newcomers and veterans looking to update their records will also embrace a national newspaper section, which details the most recent picture and news desk contacts.
Moreover, helpful tips permeating the guide give way to a stand-alone section featuring articles on how to get ahead as a freelancer, or break into the industry from an outsider's perspective.
The Handbook's objective is to provide the freelance, or the would-be photographer, with the current market needs and the best ways to exploit those needs to make money selling photography.
How to approach new markets, how company's pay and where the professional or aspiring freelance should send their photos to are all covered in the forthcoming guide.
To order a copy direct from BFP Books (16.95 pound incl. PandP) you can phone their 24 hr credit card hotline on 020 8882 3315, or alternatively buy it in all good bookshops from October 1 (14.95 pound). |
