Stock PHOTO collaboration with Diego Martin Photo
Welcome! You're here to learn about stock photography and how we can collaborate.
What are stock photos?
Stock photos are licensed photographs used for various purposes like marketing, advertising, and content creation (sports, professions, lifestyle, family, travel, food, medicine, etc). These licenses are typically sold by image agencies such as Shutterstock, Adobe Stock, Alamy, and Getty Images. Companies worldwide purchase these licenses through these online platforms to use the images in their marketing campaigns.
requirements FOR COLLABORATION
1) No visible branding: Logos on clothing or any other objects, visible tattoos, unique artwork, frames, wall art or distinct prints must be avoided, covered, or hidden.
2) Model Release: All individuals appearing in the photographs must sign a model release on the day of the shoot. This document is essential for me to legally submit images to stock agencies, ensuring they can resell the content without objections from the models. Parental consent is required for underage participants. (Read more about the model release [here]).
3) Property Release: For all types of private properties depicted (such as apartments, houses, offices, gyms, restaurants, etc.), a property release signed by the owner or creator is required. (Read more about the property release [here]).
benefits for private individuals or companies:
The primary benefit is significant cost savings. Hiring a professional photographer for a 1-hour photoshoot producing around 10 final photos can cost between 3000-6000 SEK. With this collaboration, there is no cost to you, and you will receive between 10-15 edited, high-resolution photos from our session.
how you can use the images:You are permitted to use the images for your own use, marketing and promotional activities. However, you may not give, transfer, or license the images to other companies, nor are you permitted to tag other brands on social media using these specific photos.
receiving your images:
As the photographer, I will be the one making the final selection. I will choose the images that best represent the best moments of our session. These will be sent to you via a download link. You can expect your photos to be ready between 3 weeks to 2 months after our session.
a WIN-WIN paRtnership:
This is a mutually beneficial collaboration: I offer a professional photo session at no charge, focused on capturing your passion, craft, work and what you do. In exchange, you grant me permission to use the images for sales on stock photography platforms. This arrangement allows you to save the cost of a professional session and receive high-quality photos for your own use (website, social media, portfolio) that will represent your activity. In return, this helps me expand my portfolio and generate stock image sales.
What collaborations am I looking for?
I am seeking diverse individuals and businesses interested in high-quality images and a fun photoshoot experience. No prior modelling experience is required. My focus is on capturing your authentic lifestyle. We will work together to document the real activities and moments from your day-to-day life, like your profession, a hobby, or your interactions with family and friends. To make this successful, we will plan the situations we photograph. This means that while you interact naturally, I will guide the setup. This direction is necessary for me to find the right compositions and ensure the lighting is correct. I'm interested in a wide range of themes, including sports, professions, business, lifestyle, family, travel, food, and medicine.
