What distinguishes Rohn Engh's book on how to sell photographs--now in its fourth edition--from the many volumes on the subject? Could it be his honest, no-nonsense approach to the topic, as opposed to the get-rich-quick slant of many competitors? His practical, step-by-step advice? His pragmatic sales techniques and principles, which teach niche marketing and explain the vast difference between good pictures of popular subjects (sunsets, wildflowers) and the type of photographs in demand by the editors who actually buy them? All of the above and more, including solid advice about selling photos in the electronic age.

 This Edition Is Really Outdated June 18, 2008
So much has changed in the photography world since this was written and updated in 1997. Advice how how to submit slides and why not to buy a Mac (because hardly anyone has them) seems very odd these days. Also the formulas for creating "great stock pictures" have become outdated as well. I have no doubt this would have been a great and informative book in the 80's or 90's but because of the rapid changes in digital technology this book is kind of like reading a "How to Operate Your BetaMax" manual. Perhaps the newer versions would be money better spent.

The best "how-to" book I have ever read. Rohn does not miss a detail and hands out consistently useful advice.

 Stock mentality July 24, 2007
2 out of 4 found this review helpful
I was about to forray into stock photography when I borrowed this book. After a couple of hours I decided to preserve my sensibility and returned the book. The only reason why this book got a three star instead of a 1 is that it made me realise how stupid the whole idea of getting into stock was, perhaps more strongly than is actually warranted by the genre of stock photography. This book starts of with a boisterous principle with the authors name. Such simplified ideas are good but they should be served simply; not in the form of some corny equation. For me, it indicates the shallowness of the author which is again amply proved but the innumerable unimaginative photos which were critiqued and made to look like they were compositional masterpieces. Well if you did not really know that background, theme etc make a good photo then by all means dig it but if you have even an inch of respect for your creativity and sensibility then just run. Having said that, if you are really keen on selling photos this way no matter what, then this might be a good book for you especially with all the information on how to get tax benefits from your business of stock photography; I am pretty sure though that if you dig this book and can be with it till the end then tax and accounting should be your forte and you won't really need much of the information in the book.
Sell & Resell Your Photos-The Ultimate Photographers Bible January 9, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I received this book 3 months ago, and it never leaves my side. As a budding would-be professional photographer,I learned more about the Photography business than I ever imagined. Just what I was looking for in the first place. eg: What photos sell,and what Photo buyers are looking for - Surprise! Surprise. How to get started professionally - a real eye-opener. Resources to search out etc. Excellent!
My only criticism - I am left with all these questions that need answers and maybe that was the idea, so that me, the reader, will reach out for more information and spur me on to find more keys to moving forward. Please write another book Ronn Engh
