Have you ever taken a picture that you thought would be "the perfect ad"? Picture this, you snap a photo, go home later that day, load up the pictures, and notice that one of the photos looks like it could be on a billboard somewhere. It is likely that you did and up until now, you had no way to profit from it.

Adography.com provides an online tool for casual, amateur or professional photographers to sell their photos to companies, and conversely, for advertisers to request photos ("photo assignments") specific to their needs. We do not sell stock photography, and we would like to avoid the promotion of it on our site. We bridge the gap between photographers and advertisers targeting photos for a specific company or purpose.

A message from the founder...

I captured this photo of my sister-in-law while vacationing during the summer of 2004. Such a simple photo, caught at just the right time got me thinking a number of things: no lighting was set, nor actors present, no setup or preparation, and it would most likely have cost a fortune to stage a photo to come out as "sellable" as it did. Morey Bodyboards could buy an excellent advertisement photo that they couldn't stage for this cost, and I could put some extra money in my pocket by selling the photo. Without Adography.com, the photo would only be a keepsake.

So, rather than just try to sell it to Morey Boogie myself, I thought bigger. Others probably have photos just like this that companies could use. If you take photos with a digital camera, even occasionally, I am sure that you have photos that companies would want. Sign up as a photographer and post them up on Adography.com. Put in a target company and we'll be helping to get your photo out there.

We’re open to any ideas you have so be sure to contact us with any questions or opportunities you want to share. Just send an email to kelly@adography.com and please try to give as much information about your company and your proposal.
