Microstock photography doesn’t have to be complicated.

You don’t need an expensive camera.

You don’t need to travel.

And you don’t need to be a professional photographer.

In this course, you’ll learn how to sell stock photos in a practical and realistic way, with a strong focus on smartphone photography and everyday moments you already have around you.

We’ll walk through the complete microstock process — from understanding how microstock works, to creating, editing, and submitting images that are commercial-ready and suitable for agency approval.

This course focuses on:

What types of photos actually sell on microstock platforms

How to create stock photos using only your phone

Turning simple daily moments and household objects into valuable stock assets

Building a fast, repeatable workflow for consistent submissions

If you already use a camera, this course is still fully relevant. The principles remain the same — only the tools change.

You’ll also be introduced to a modern microstock workflow using MetaPic, a tool designed to reduce repetitive tasks like metadata generation and file preparation, so you can focus more on creating and uploading efficiently.

That said, this course is not about software. It’s about understanding microstock properly and building a workflow that actually works.

Whether you’re a complete beginner or an existing contributor looking to improve your workflow and save time, this course has something for everyone
