When I graduated from college, I knew that newspapers hired photographers because I read The New York Times, and I knew that magazines hired photographers because I read Vogue. But that’s about all I knew. So when I realized that I would need more than two clients to sustain a freelance photography career, I decided to do some research.

We’re excited to announce that we’ve added a new behind-the-scenes video feature to our photographer profiles. The video provides prospective clients with a sense of what it’s like to work with a photographer and it’s a great way for our photographers to show their personalities.
We’ve noticed that photographers are increasingly interested in working for companies that are committed to social justice and environmental sustainability. This inspired us to consider how we might identify these types of companies and how we could display that information on our website.
They say, “it’s not what you know, but who you know.” While that’s not entirely true – knowledge is power – and in order to be successful, photographers need to have ready access to all sorts of information.
At Wonderful Machine, we’ve been producing photo shoots for a long time. Over the years, we’ve had the chance to work with excellent crew from all over the world.
Sometimes photographers reach a certain level of success and they feel the need to have that extra level of support that only a photographer’s agent can provide. When that time comes, our Find Agents page is a great place to start that search.
Our Unpublished Page is where clients can browse through hundreds of photographic projects that have not been published and are available for licensing.
At Wonderful Machine, we divide all the people and companies in our industry into 5 categories: Clients, Photographers, Crew, Agents, and Resources. In our massive effort to reimagine, redesign, and rebuild our website, our Find Resources page is the last step in our data migration process.
With most photographer directories, your location is static. There is at least one directory that I know of that allows you to update your current location in real-time, which is nice. But we have taken that idea one step further by allowing our photographers to update their Travel Plans to show any number of locations into the future.
Finding clients is one of the biggest challenges commercial photographers face. At Wonderful Machine, we’ve been cultivating relationships with publications, agencies, and brands for over 15 years.
Even with dozens of stock photo agencies offering up millions of images, clients still sometimes struggle to find the right image to meet their needs. Our unique Stock Request service provides clients with access to our extensive network of photographers — each with many images that won’t be found in any stock photo library.
Wonderful Machine celebrates its 10th anniversary in 2018 and celebrates with a thank you to all the photographers that have worked with us along the way.
