Adam Taylor of www.adamtaylorphotos.com and www.licenseyourphotos.com has successfully left behind an industry and client base to start over in a new photography market…twice!

He has a degree in graphic design, and for ten years, he worked as an action sport and fitness photographer in Southern California. His clients included global brands like Red Bull, DC Shoes, Monster Energy, and ESPN.

Late last year, he and his family moved to Oahu, Hawaii. He's offering high-end photography to help interior designers, architects, builders, and home product companies build their brand and tell their story through images.

Interestingly, he has built a secondary income stream by relicensing those same commercial images to different businesses, which is the focus of today's interview.

Picture this… Adam is commissioned to photograph a job and seeks out additional commercial clients who might be interested in paying for the very same images he's being paid to create for his initial client. He resells these same images with complete transparency and has been able to generate additional profits through this relicensing approach.

In this interview, learn exactly how he's doing it and how you can licence your photos for maximum profit.
