Photoessays are a great way to market and distribute thematically linked images to potential image buyers. Traditional stock is only one way to sell your images but is limited to selling single images to customers. Photoessays allow you to bring the power of the photo-documentary system to potential buyers. This appeals to many editorial buyers who are always on the look out for new content to fill pages.

Setting up your essays is really simple with Gekko. Simply log into your account and click on the MAKE A PHOTOESSAY button. From this page you can create a new essay and manage your existing ones.

How it works?

• Add up to 20 images into an essay
• Add the images from your Gekko Stock images by clicking on the ADD IMAGES button
• Give each image a caption (if you set your images have embedded caption these are added automatically)
• Set a category and add appropriate keywords
• Set a desired price for the essay. If you are not sure of the price click the Recommended Prices button
• Then approve the essay.

The essay just requires Gekko approval (normally takes 24 hours) then it is live for sale.

What can buyers access?

From the sale page buyers get to see a random sample of 4 images from each essay, a brief description of the essay. They also get links to see your stock, your online portfolio and can email you or visit your web site. So adding photoessays is a great way to increase your exposure to potential clients. So get your essays up today.

So don't wait if your are not a Gekko member Photoessays give you another reason to join Gekko today and join the revolution.
