Ellen Boughn

Ellen Boughn has been involved in the licensing of photography for over 30 years. She has experience with the three models of image licensing: rights managed, royalty free and microstock. Working for Corbis, Getty (Stone), Dreamstime and others, she gained experience in the business side of licensing photography . She spent two years at Dreamstime as the writer of a blog for the company's photographers. At the end of that time, Ellen was approached by an editor at AmPhoto (A division of Random House) to expand the material in the blog into a book. The resulting title, Microstock Money Shots, condenses the knowledge she has learned over her 35 years in the stock photography industry. She is a consultant to photographers as well as acting as an expert witness and consultant in matters relating to the unauthorized use of copyrighted photographs and illustrations.
