Do your homework

What makes a picture saleable? Why would a publication want to use it?

Have a look at the sports pages every day. Read the articles and LOOK AT THE PICTURES. Those images have already been selected they are SOLD.

Many people think they have a new angle, a better perspective and a great shot. If it does not suit the publication you are targeting then they will not use it.

It is great to experiment and to develop new ways of shooting but, when a publication is on deadline then they will go for an image that suits their target audience.

You must do the same!
