Original Photography And Excellent Photography Courses and Classes
Do you find photography interesting? If ya do then you’re in the right place. I’m Sam D’Amico and this is my website. I’m a professional photographer and professional photography teacher.
While you’re here, take some time, look around and make some comments.
In short, this website is about selling photographs as prints, licensing rights managed stock photography and photography classes.
Specifically, as a professional photographer, I sell prints of my work and license my photographs as rights managed stock photography. In addition, as a professional photography teacher, I post information about my photography classes and I write blog posts based on conversations that happen during my photography classes.
I’m not sure how you wound up here but I’m glad that you’re here.

What If I asked you to agree to give me a photograph that you created?
Would you agree to give it to me if I put restrictions on how you could use It?
What if part of our agreement was that I could use your photograph to make money but I did not have to give you a penny of any money that I made, would you still agree?
What If I could let anyone use the picture for anything that they wanted, do we have a deal yet?
What If I could charge whatever I wanted for the photograph, effectively undercutting you on price, could I have it now?
What If by giving me your picture you agreed that your photograph would no longer be yours and you would have to get my written permission to use it for any reason, are we in agreement?
If you’re a professional photographer, you could clearly see how this is damaging to your ability to generate income with your work. Yet many photographers are agreeing to give away their work under such terms.
How could this happen?
