Today is another showcase of the latest image series I’ve put up onto my personal Photoshelter royalty free image licensing site, as well as my other distribution sites, which you can find on my “stock photography” page. Due to my trust in my previous distributor, I did all of keywording and other meta-data entry directly into their system. Now, I’m going back to all my images and entering the information into the images with Adobe Bridge, so I can easily […]
Yesterday I discussed that I am now licensing my work on my own personal site at Photoshelter, as well as other locations, which are listed on my Stock Photography page here. Today, I’ve discovered they have a WordPress pluging that makes it easy to showcase content in a blog. So, I’m going to try it out by highlighting some more of my work that can be found there.
Several months ago, I had done some work on creating a site to showcase my work, which was based on an off-the-shelf stock agency software package. I did this to offer buyers an additional way to search my stock content, and to get some valuable SEO that might head over to my image distributor (at the time). I also thought building it on an platform like that would be good, because I could easily turn it into a selling platform […]
Mother’s Day is coming up! Sunday, May 12th marks the day for breakfast in bed, handmade cards, flowers and lots of love for Mothers everywhere. Over on the new royalty free stock photo site, Stocksy, I’ve got a set of new Mother’s Day images that should prove useful for any advertising campaign or editorial article.
I had someone ask about the lighting setup in my recent Barbeque Restaurant stock photo shoot. So I thought today would be a good day for a few behind the scenes images which can better illustrate, than me talking about it.
Let’s start off the week right, with a look at a new royalty free stock series, available exclusively ( sorry iStockphoto/Getty ! 😛 ) at Stocksy, the new photographer co-operative stock photo agency. You know I’m from St. Louis, and here in STL, we love our barbeque. This is probably due to our proximity to the Kansas City stockyards. Maybe it’s to do with us being “Gateway to the West“, and all the travelers bringing their favorite “Q” to town. […]
At it’s base, licensing stock photography would seem to be simple, at least from the photographer’s point of view. You shoot, you upload to an agency (or your own site), and an end-user licenses the work. Unfortunately, as we have seen lately, industry behemoth, Getty Images, keeps coming up with new “initiatives” to try and squeeze every cent they can from their contributor’s work, even when the contributor clearly doesn’t want to be a part of such schemes.
Yesterday, I visited some of my popular stock image subjects and themes that buyers have emailed me asking for, since my recent change in distribution. Today, I’ll point out a few more popular series with links to the new location on Stocksy (the entire “shoot”, which is a nice feature!).
Over the last few weeks, I’ve had a lot of contact from buyers looking for a certain image or series that they had previously been interested in licensing, but that was now not available at that original location. Today, I just wanted to highlight some of my favorite themes and subject series from past shoots that you can now find on Stocksy, the new photographer friendly co-operative stock licensing site.
