PhotoShelter has released a guide called Selling Nature Photography, and will host a webinar with travel photographer Andrew Rowat on how to break into travel photography.
Selling Nature Photography, created in partnership with Outdoor Photography magazine, explores how successful nature photographers have built their businesses and the secrets to getting the attention of leading buyers.
Other subjects covered in the guide include the four top avenues for selling nature photography, how seasoned nature photographers like Art Wolfe built successful business from scratch, interviews with leading buyers, and more.

In the live webinar with Andrew Rowat on Wednesday, July 25, from 4-5 p.m. ET, PhotoShelter chairman Allen Murabayashi will talk with Rowat about the challenges travel photographers face in an increasingly competitive industry.
Rowat – who was named one of PDN’s 30 photographers to watch and whose work has appeared in Conde Naste Traveler, Travel + Leisure, The New Yorker and Vanity Fair among others – will help uncover ways to make it in the travel industry by answering the following questions and more:
- What can you do to get the attention of photo editors without a previous connection or referral?
- How do you negotiate contracts that initially seem like an unfair deal?
- Is it possible to continue working on personal projects, and even get photo buyers to pick them up?
- What are the copyright issues in travel photography?
