Can you make money taking pictures of money? I bet you can. How many pictures of money are on the internet? Getty says there are 2,731 Canadian money stock photos. Pixabay says there are 10,000 plus money images and pexels says browse 5,000 plus best money photos. iStock has 3,268,449 money photos. Make money? There are so many of them that say "free for commercial use".
I like the picture of paper bills folded into an airplane. I would guess there are some "weird" money images. What pops up? Pictures of dogs and cats with money. There's weirder stuff: man eating coins from a plate, man with dollar bills in mouth like a tongue hanging out, man vomiting money, man eating bills like a sandwich. Moving on to pretty pictures with money in them - these are cute girls/women set against pastel backgrounds with paper money fanned out in their hands, or putting a coin in a blue or pink piggy bank.
Photographing banknotes is complicated with legal requirements. It has both copyright and counterfeiting issues. You cannot reproduce a banknote at 75% to 150% of actual size and in colour and with both sides showing.
How does one get a hold of all that money for the pile of money pictures? Does one scan in the money, then print it, and then photograph it? Maybe there's a props company who can rent out "piles of money".
There is a pile of money in Breaking Bad, and Quora has entries on what the $ value of the pile of money - $80 million was the estimate. Wiki gives the answer as well. That's a lot of props money. Maybe there are some standard props for all the movies that want to have "piles of money" and they go and rent the piles: The Dark Knight and Joker are just two in the list.
The picture of the day is a result of trying out various photography creative software yesterday. My creative filters from Topaz don't work on the new MAC operating system. I find that what's available in filters/plugins are geared for iPhones and iPads. They are unsophisticated. This one did turn out nicely. Another orchid picture. Corel Draw is what looks like is next, and that's because everything else has been trialed. Wish me luck.
