I took a photo that I think is amazing, and others I've shown it to****************************************************************************
agree. It is a photo of a large black bear.
I would like to offer prints of this photo for sale. I will never
sell the original or post the photo online for obvious reasons. How
can I market this photo, without compromising it?

If you think the photo is really special, I suggest you put it with several
other photos and get it copyrighted. You can copyright several for the same
price as one. Contact the US copyright office at their website and you can
download their information and form. I assume you are in the US. I suppose
you can copyright it in the US even if you are not a US citizen, or do it in
your country and it will probably be recognized. You can also just sell
them with a copyright notice but that might not protect you. You must put
the first date of publication or sale on it and your name, such as Copyright
2006 Abe Lincoln. You would put that date on it even if you sell it in
2020. If you want to sell it to magazines or book publishers, that is stock
photography and the best place to start with that is www.photosource.com .
Whatever you do, the picture can be copied by others but if you have it
copyrighted, you can really sock it to them. Hope that helps. Ric in
Wisconsin.
