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, electronics, products, or any other objects, visible tattoos, unique artwork, picture 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 shown (such as apartments, houses, offices, gyms, restaurants, hotels, etc.), a property release must be signed by the owner or authorized representative 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 property owners. (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 session typically ranges between 3,000 and 6,000 kr. With this collaboration, there is no cost for you, and you will receive between 10–15 edited, high resolution photos to represent your activity.
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. Additionally, you are not permitted to tag other brands on social media using these specific photos.
receiving your images
As the photographer, I will make the final selection, choosing the images that best capture the highlights of our session. These will be delivered to you via a download link. You can expect your photos to be ready between 3 weeks and 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, and work. 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 photographer 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.
How we work together?
We will work by planning a dedicated session together rather than capturing a live event. This allows us to meet specifically to create these scenes, where I can guide the setup and lighting while you interact naturally. This collaborative approach gives us the space to focus on the best compositions and repeat scenes if needed to achieve the best result.
What collaborations am I looking for?
I’m seeking diverse individuals and businesses interested in high quality images, no modeling experience is required. My goal is to document your authentic everyday life by using the spaces and tools you already know and use. To make the session as relaxed as possible, we will shoot in your own familiar surroundings, such as your home, your professional workspace, or your business location. Whether it’s a chef in their own kitchen, a craftsman in their workshop, a medical professional in their private clinic, or a yoga instructor in their studio, being in your own environment ensures the results feel natural and genuine. I am interested in a wide range of themes, including sports, business, lifestyle, family, travel, food, and medicine. Ready to collaborate?
