Whether you are selling them on your own and have your a search option within your site or you are partnering with a larger stock photo site, select keywords for your photos that are descriptive and concrete so clients can match your photos easily to their needs. It can be difficult to separate yourself and describe your own work so partner with a friend or colleague with fresh eyes to ask what they see when scanning your stock photographs.
