We envision it as a stock photography venture that specializes in images of place. We think that publishers and corporations are often interested in iconic shots and/or detail shots of particular places for use on book covers, brochures, web sites, etc. So, we combine that purview with our interest in travel and photography, and voilà a side business.

We’ve started modestly by having a blog front-end to the site to which we intend to add images and narratives regularly. Behind-the-scenes, we’re using Photoshelter to house our archive and galleries. My opinion of Photoshelter is currently mixed (they are pricy), but as I use it, I like it more, particularly for the right management features that Zenfolio simply doesn’t have (yet!). More on this later.

So, check out Regional Imagery, LLC. Leave a comment. Watch us grow. And, if you are a photographer who might have some images to contribute (we share any money made), let us know. Oh, and follow us on Twitter.
