It’s “Portfolio Update” day here on the blog, and today I’m featuring two new (short) series that are available exclusively at Stocksy United. One features some adorable baby chicks to help herald in Spring, and the other series is for the Jewish holiday of Passover, which, by the way, begins the evening of April 14, 2014.
As you may have gleaned from my recent posts, I’ve been trying to get more “real” and “authentic” images into my stock image portfolio at Stocksy United. One theme I’ve been trying to hit hard is the idea of “local businesses” or “craftspeople”. Recently, I had the opportunity to team up with a local glass art creation facility, and I think this is some of my best work yet.
For this week’s portfolio update, I’m featuring a brand new series and a series from a few years back, both on Stocksy United, and both celebrating the Spring holiday of Easter. It’s actually great timing, because one of the images was featured in today’s Stocksy United email promoting their Easter gallery.
Crazy winter! I meant to get this portfolio update online yesterday, but with the 1/2 inch of snow we got (LOL), our district called a snow day, so I played with the kids instead. Our forecasters are the worst! So, today, I’m highlighting a relatively new series that can be found on Stocksy United – “Home Construction“.
Royalty free stock image agency Stocksy United rolled out a change to the artist profile/landing pages on the site, and boy, I think buyers are really going to dig this. It really adds a new way to organically move around the site, brainstorming and discovering content you didn’t know you were looking for.
As you may know, I’m a photographer who licenses stock imagery. This license that someone buys, allows them to use a certain image in a certain way. However, there is a large group out there on internet who may be using my and others’ images illegally, so I wanted to discuss image usage on blogs today.
Yesterday on my Facebook page, I mentioned I was time traveling, going back to 2007 to re-process and keyword some early images to go into my non-Stocksy portfolio of stock images. Today, I thought I would post a couple of samples to illustrate what I was talking about.
Last week, I highlighted a new Valentine’s Day stock image series that is now up at Stocksy United. This week, however, I wanted to showcase some of my Valentine’s Day content that is now up at Shutterstock (and my other stock image distributors). Let’s take a look.
Last week, I showcased a new image series for Valentine’s Day that is hosted at Stocksy United. Well, continuing on my holiday kick from the last few months, I’ve got another brand new series up for Valentine’s Day, this one featuring a group of cute little girls making crafts.
