How To Get Your Celebrity Photos Published - By: Victor Epand

If you have acquired a one of a kind celebrity photo you will most likely begin looking into ways that you can get it published. Getting your celebrity portraits published may be something that you are looking into making a full time career. First you should consider if your celebrity snaps are marketable. You will want to make sure that someone will want to publish your snaps once you have taken them. To begin with, you should be aware that in most cases magazines and newspapers are not looking for simple every day images of celebrities. In most cases they are looking for images of celebrities that are scandalous in nature, or that give a scoop on a personal part of the celebrity's life. An individual who has simply gone out and had their photo taken with a celebrity, should not expect to be able to sell the snap or to have it published. One thing to consider is how you acquired the image. You will want to make sure that you have legally taken the photograph. If you have been found to have illegally taken the snap by breaking laws such as trespassing, you can be prosecuted for taking the photograph. Make sure that it is legal when you are obtaining any and all images. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are a variety of methods of publication for the pictures. You can produce your own website and simply virtually publish your celebrity snaps and make money from ad sharing programs. However, you will want to make sure that you seek out proper copyrights for all your images. You will not want to publish them and only see them later appear all over the Internet. If you copyright your pictures and then they end up all over the web, you can actually sue the other websites or publications that use your pictures. However, if you are looking to get your celebrity photos professionally published and making big money you will need to first look at it and decide what type of publications have previously published pictures such as your own. If your photograph does indeed have a celebrity caught in a crude act or carrying out an action that is not normal, then chances are you can simply contact any magazine or newspaper and inform them of the type of image you have. In most cases, if it is scandalous enough they will request a meeting with you to view the snap. You can find contact information for every magazine and publication on the Internet or by simply contacting Information or yellow page listings. You will then need to contact the organizations and give them the specifics of the snaps that you have. This will then determine the amount of money that you will receive for your images. However, keep in mind that if your picture is simple and something that has already been published a hundred times, then you will want to work harder at acquiring more cutting edge celebrity photos.
