Photography as a Business

Twenty Four Thousand Images

I have 24,000 photographs in my stock image library, all available for your use with as little as 24 hours notice. Here you will find detailed coverage of places in North Carolina, the Southern Appalachian Mountains, and the countryside of Great Britain — plus some really good stuff from Florida, the Rockies, and Prince Edward Island. A computerized image management program allows for rapid turnaround without rush fees or research fees.

Photos Plus Text

Because I write as well as take photographs, I can deliver your content as complete photo/text packages. With these packages, you can get exactly the sort of specialized content you need, with lower total cost and much less staff time than trying to illustrate a text-only article with photos hired from stock agencies. I've been doing this for British Heritage Magazine since 1998, producing more than 70 fully illustrated articles including 5 columns, on topics of their choosing.

For your special imaging needs, I can go beyond supplying you with simple images to delivering the best results of the digital darkroom. By systematically managing the total image information — from field capture, through the scanner and Photoshop, into your computers and presses — I can ensure that the images you acquire are everything you hope for.

Who's Buying?

Who's been buying these images? You name it. National Geographic has used my stock images in their National Geographic Adventure Magazine and in their books division. The New York Times, Conde Nast Traveler, Field and Stream, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution are among the major media outlets to use my stock images. However, specialty presses and magazines have been my bread-and-butter, including Our State, Disney's Family Fun Magazine, Blue Ridge Country, Backcountry Press, Coastal Carolina Press, Destinations Magazine, Endless Vacation, Farm and Ranch Living, Country Living, Mature Outlook, Midwest Express, Power and Motor Yacht. Cherbo Publishing, Farcountry Press, Running Press, Countryman Press, and (of course) textbook publishers such as Harcourt School Publishers, Holt, Rinehart and Winston, Time for Kids Publishing, and Houghton Mifflin.
