I got an email from someone called Jon.

Hi there, I would love to purchase a copy of ‘urinal‘! Would you be happy for me to do this? I go to Lisbon every now and then and your images are lovely.

How exciting! How very kind.

Having never sold a photo before (and having had a photo stolen for use on a website), I did some research into how to license stock photos and how much peopel paid for photos.

In the end, I sold the photo to Jon for personal use for the princely sum of £6. It’s not as much as comparable photos are being sold for on microstock sites but  I’m happy to start this professional photography career anywhere.

For a photo that I took for my own pleasure, £6 is a price I am very pleased to receive.
