The Year 2013

2013 was certainly an interesting year for my stock photography business.  A short recap, and then a favorite image from each month!

Portfolio Update: Happy Holidays Backgrounds

Time really flies this time of year.  I’ve been really busy working on new holiday stock imagery that I’ve neglected my blog posting here a bit.  I’ll remedy that slightly today, with an update on the new series that I’ve put up on Stocksy – “Holiday Backgrounds” for Christmas, Hanukkah and just generic “Happy Holidays”.

Portfolio Update: New Thanksgiving Photos

While I do enjoy Halloween, and I immensely love watching the leaves change during Autumn (they’ve been amazing this year, here),  Thanksgiving is my highlight of the Fall months.  I look forward to getting my cooking magazines with the brined and browned bird on the cover in September, the Charlie Brown Thanksgiving special (my favorite of the big three) and the Macy’s parade.  I realized this year, that I don’t have a series dedicated to the headliner, the roast turkey, […]

One Of The Millions

As a self-employed business person, I am responsible for purchasing health insurance for my family.  This makes me one of the 14 million people in the United States who purchase their policies individually.  The recent news has been awash with stories about how a majority of these people are having their policies cancelled, due to the “Affordable Care Act” or “Obamacare”.   In September, I discovered that I am one of these people, and today, I’ll detail some facts about my […]

Portfolio Update: At the Market

Today’s portfolio update features a shoot that, once again, was a client request to the Stocksy United contributors.  I love when buyers let us know they are looking for something specific, as it really helps us to hit the mark.  Of course, it’s best when the topic has a wide appeal as well – you don’t want to head out and do a shoot that is too “niche” – it won’t pay off.  However, the theme of “Grocery Shopping” always […]

Steering the Ship

It’s an exciting time for contributing photographers at Stocksy United, the new co-op stock image agency.  Lots of positive news coming from the press, like the announcement that Stocksy projects to be profitable in Mid-November.  An amazing feat, considering it just opened in March!  Also all the articles about why the agency was founded and it’s paradigm.  Reasons like disappointment in how other businesses were operating, and a challenge to bring a positive vibe back to stock photography.  However, behind […]
