Photographic
Agencies
Almost since issue one we have received requests from readers "where can I sell my work?" Any search engine will return a list of photographic agencies, or resource sites that provide lists. I agree it's a pain searching through a 200 item long list finding agencies that provide glamour pictures, so this month we are giving you a start. Below are some UK agencies that accept glamour and the other links are resources (world-wide) that list agencies. There are also links that help with advice and information about submitting. We thought you should do a little research for yourself. :-)
If the agency says they specialise in medium and large format
then please do not submit 35mm. If they say they specialise in transparency
then there isn't much point in submitting pictures on CD. I know it sounds
obvious but some readers will even though I have said it.
