Tuesday Tips #265 – Moving Into Microstock

While looking into your archives can help you successfully put together a collection to submit to stock photography sites, to remain successful and customize your offerings to current demands you will need to shoot strictly for your stock collection. To keep a steady supply coming even while you’re shooting clients or personal work, always take a few more extra shots that could be more suited for your stock clients. Current popular stock photos generally have a lot of breathing room around the subject to allow for text or titles that may be added in post. If this consideration is new for you, magazines can be a great resource! Thumb through a few issues and dogear the pages that best demonstrate this technique specifically for your eyes.
