3 Good Photos and an Easy Income Secret
Below are three photos we bought from freelance photographers (who happen to be IL readers) to publish in International Living magazine.
After each picture you'll find a note from the photographer with some more details about the image.
Apart from these simply being good, enjoyable-to-look-at photos, I'm sending these to you today because taking photos like this (and getting paid for doing it) is a skill you may already have.
You don't need to be a prize-winning, professional photographer to get in on this. Thanks to stock and micro stock photography, anyone can put their amateur snaps online to start getting a regular income. (If you're new to these terms, everything is explained here.)
We'll have more on this during the week, including some insider tips from people who are successfully doing it.
For now, enjoy the photos below...and figure out if you could take photos like them from your new home overseas.

Sarita Simmons says: From tiny tea shops found in the ancient Hutong neighborhoods of Beijing to the elaborate tea houses of Shanghai, tea plays a major cultural role in the rhythm of daily life in China. Indeed there is such a passion and art to the drinking and serving of tea you can't help but be drawn under its spell.
While on an AWAI photography trip to China, I took this photo in one of Shanghai's tea houses. The hostess wanted us to experience the taste and smell of the tea, and how each one compared to the others… much like in wine tasting.

Florence Yee Devermann says: This woman had such a serene composure. I wanted to capture the calm and quiet atmosphere she created while she spun. So I got on my knees, keeping the shuttle in the foreground. One of the things I remember most fondly about being in Ecuador's Andes is the friendliness of the people. They had a certain innocence about them. It was like stepping back in time.

Caroline Maryan says: My husband and I live six months of each year in Seoul, South Korea. Our home is actually in Williamsburg, Virginia, but we spend much of the rest of the year traveling. Because we spent four years living in Indonesia, when our children were young, we have always wanted to return to Asia.
And when my husband retired we saw the chance to live our dream. Since then, apart from South Korea, we've lived in South Africa, and spent a lot of time in England as well. This is a photo of some Korean boys dressed up for the celebration of the Buddha's Birthday at the Jogyesa Temple, in Seoul.
