🤍💙🧡 Stock photography doesn't fail because you're not capable.


"You only need one strong idea to begin"

Why Stock Feels Confusing.

Hey Reader

If stock photography has ever felt confusing or inconsistent, it’s not because you’re doing it wrong.

Most photographers struggle with stock for one reason.

They’re left guessing.

Guessing what to shoot.

Guessing what buyers want.

Guessing why some images are accepted, and others aren’t.

Stock photography works best when you stop guessing and start following a clear process, with intention.

That’s something I’ve learned over many years of working with stock and running photography businesses.

Next week, I want to share a calmer way of thinking about stock photography.

One that focuses on clarity, not pressure.

Over the next few emails, I’ll be sharing:

  • How to approach stock photography properly
  • What actually makes a difference to results
  • A clear path from first upload to steady progress

If stock photography has ever felt like something you should be doing but never quite trusted, you’re in the right place.

More soon.

For others, it's overwhelm - too many options, too much noise. And often, it's because we think ordinary work won't sell. But it does. Every day. The photos, tools,...

"You make progress when you cut noise, so mute the distractions and finish the one task that pays you." Define Your Goals, Plan Your Path. Hey Reader As we approach the end of 2025, there's one thing I've learned that makes the biggest difference in business growth, and that's having a clear goal and a plan to reach it. It's not just about saying, "I want to earn more", or "I want to grow my audience." It's about setting a number, then working backwards to figure out exactly how you'll get...

"You don't need a perfect plan, you need the next clear step and the courage to take it right now." The missing piece in most photographers' income. Hey Reader Let’s be honest, most photographers start their business because they love taking photos, not because they dream of working 60-hour weeks, juggling shoots, editing, admin, and marketing. But what happens when you stop shooting? For most photographers, the income stops too. That’s exactly why I created my new Passive Income & Stock...
