Hello, Canon! I heart you!

My baby came a few days ago! :) So. Pretty. Totally in love with it and still reading the manual. Going to start snapping with my new gear soon--am taking an author photo for J.R. Angelella.

Author Stock Photo's Mission

What's this site for?

Author Stock Photos are pictures taken with self-publishing authors in mind to aid in book cover creation. ASP are shot with an 18 mega-pixel camera (full camera detail in future post). The photos are covered with a watermark until they are purchased for use.

How much per photo?

No matter what photo you choose, there is a flat rate fee of $2 USD. That's a huge savings! Consider one site's photo rates:

Your images never expire because they will be downloaded onto your computer.

How do I buy one?

I only accept payment through PayPal. If you are interested in a photograph, e-mail me at authorstockphotos AT gmail DOT com with the number(s) of the photo(s) you're interested in. I'll e-mail you back with my PayPal e-mail address.

Or, pay now through the PayPay button on the left sidebar and I'll e-mail you requesting your chosen photo(s).

What kind of photos will be available?

I'm striving for a large variety! I live in New York City and will be photographing many districts of the city as well as areas of Brooklyn. Some of my most recent photographs have included pictures of a cemetery, horses and carriages in Central Park, blooming flowers, and a night shot of the Brooklyn skyline.

How often will the site be updated?

Often. I'll begin uploading photos immediately. I also take photo requests if you have a particular image in mind for your book cover. Give me as much detail as possible so I can strive for the image you want. I may NOT be able to accommodate all requests based on where I live, seasons, etc., but I'll do my best to work out something.

Requested photos, which I'll send five sample pics to you, will cost $10 each.

Is it of any benefit to you?

How many times have you (including myself!) visited a royalty-free photo Website? Maybe you've spent hours combing through expensive photos only to settle for a picture that "kind of works." It's my hope to provide inexpensive photos of the highest quality. Each photo will be taken with a "could this be part of a book cover?" mentality. No other royalty-free photo Website thinks of authors first!

The photos are also available for use on author Websites, promotional material, book trailers, etc. Endless possibilities!
