Sell your pictures

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Have you just taken an amazing picture? Why not share it with the rest of the world – and potentially make some money out of it!

As the UK’s largest independent press agency we’re in a position to get your pictures in the national and international press. And if the pictures make money, you can make money – it’s as simple as that.

Email your pictures to pix@swns.com or call us on +44 (117) 9066550 and we’ll discuss the photos and videos with you.

This is the sort of thing we’re interested in:

* Showbiz - When it comes to celebrities the best pictures are exclusive, recent pictures of ‘A’ list celebrities going about their daily lives. Although most celebrities are well used to being photographed, we cannot sell pictures that invade privacy, cause harassment or put anybody in harm’s way.

* Breaking news – Nearly every recent major news event has been covered with pictures and video from mobile phones and compact cameras. The key here is speed – the first good picture sent to a newspaper is almost always the one which gets used. The fastest way you can send us a picture is by MMS to 07596 989 099.

* Weather - British people and British newspapers love to talk about the weather, the more extreme the better. If you have been flooded, snowed in, blown away or baked to a crisp you may well be in a position to get a photo we can sell

* Quirky - The best pictures are the ones that amuse, amaze or take your breath away. If you are so pleased with a picture you have emailed it to all your friends, chances are we can sell it.

We’ve been selling exclusive pictures to national newspapers and magazines for nearly 50 years and are the most respected name in the business
