  4. Purchase the book “Artist and Graphic Illustrator’s Market Guide 2007″ ($26.00) and you’ll find that it’s full of companies seeking art and photos from independent artists. It also contains success stories of struggling artists that made it. It’s very inspiring and informative. It explains how to write for submittable guidelines, art work guidelines, etc. Each listing in the book has a contact person and address.
    I know it works because my daughter gets a check every time one of her photos are used.
    Another viable avenue is posters. Visit different sites and look for their submission pages. Those poster photographs have to come from somewhere! It might as well be you supplying them with beautiful sunflower photos or early morning, misty farm scenes.
    Good luck.
