Hi Reader,

Let’s clear up a frequently asked question I hear all the time.

“Can I do this if I don’t live in the U.S.?”

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: absolutely yes, and maybe even better.

Here’s why →
Stock photography isn’t limited to one country.
Buyers aren’t sitting in a New York office searching for “American living rooms.”

They’re in Berlin.
In Mumbai.
In Mexico City.
Everywhere.

And they’re licensing millions of dollars’ worth of imagery every year.

So no, you don’t need perfect English.
You don’t need the “right” kind of home or gear.
You just need to create work that feels real.​
Honest. Local. Alive.

Right now, buyers are asking for images that tell a story.

What’s not selling as well?
Overly polished, generic, or AI-perfect scenes.

The shift is clear: buyers want images that feel grounded and realistic.

Inside Stock Photo Besties, we’re doing exactly that.
Photographers from every corner of the world are building consistent licensing income and leveling up their portfolios through:

• The Premium Path: my step-by-step curriculum for moving beyond microstock and creating high-value work that agencies love.
• The Agency Sessions: behind-the-scenes interviews with editors from Stocksy, The Luupe, ESI, and more, where you’ll hear directly what they’re looking for (and what they’re rejecting).
• Monthly stock photo reports tailored to both hemispheres so you can plan your shoots and uploads seasonally, whether you’re sipping tea in Canada or shooting summer sunsets in Sydney.
