Sell Your Pictures to Banks

Do you think I’m nuts? How can you sell your pictures to a bank?

Easy, banks are rabid photo buyers these days especially due to the financial turmoil we’re in right now. according to Mortgage Bankers Association are 1.35 million homes in the U.S are under foreclosure and 1 in 10 homes are either either delinquent or in foreclosure in December 2008.

Homes under foreclosure

One in ten homes are delinquent or under foreclosure.

Banks needs photos of houses they now (unwillingly) owns and they need a lot of photos fast. They don’t care about artistic talents or how beautiful the images are, all they care about is to get photos that represents the property “as-is” as long as it’s well exposed and focused. If you can take a decent image of your car you have what it takes. I won’t accept any excuses from you that you aren’t a good enough photographer – it’s that simple.

Many years ago the banks had their own photographers but this is now mostly outsourced.  This opportunity has existed for many years so it’s not a fly on the wall kind of thing and it’s the perfect opportunity to enter this business NOW. In fact a whole industry called “field services” is established to cater for this need.

The easiest way to start is to join several field service companies in a freelance capacity. I’ve compiled special report on how to make money with your camera in the field service business you can download for FREE so grab it while it’s still available.
