Learn the keys to become a collaborator for microstock sites and sell your photos
The new technologies and the irruption of digital photography, which has made available to all high quality cameras that fit in our pocket, have served many amateur photographers to turn their hobby into a source of income. The photographers Verónica Gomez and Silvia Boratti, working together under the name of Muna Estudio, have managed to make stock photography their livelihood and in this course they will teach you how to plan and make your photographs to sell them in banks of images and make money with them.
Based on the experience that has given them working with platforms such as iStockphoto, Shutterstock, Fotolia, and having published their photographs in Reader Digest, Clarin or The Washington Post, Veronica and Silvia will show you how to convert your photos into income through the banks of images. They will tell you how to use the means you have at your disposal to plan a photo shoot and market the images in microstock sites, even if you only take pictures as an amateur or with your smartphone.

Reviews
A course by Muna Estudio
Silvia studied a classical career, but shortly after completing it she realized that her passion was photography. It was during a sabbatical year, in 2004, when she discovered the world of image banks and decided to start working as a collaborating photographer; for this he began to train in photography and digital image design, which opened the doors to him, finally, to be able to live on what he likes.
Veronica began the career of sociology, although she soon left it for something that called her attention much more: makeup. Working in Dior Parfums, she had to experience the photo shootings closely, where she got to know the world of flashes, something that encouraged her to take photography classes. Finally, what started as a hobby became a profession and a way of life.
Together, they form Muna Estudio, where they have been making photographs for image banks and microstock sites for more than a decade.
