Why bother?
When one agency rejects a photo that I have already spent time on editing, do I bother to edit the image again according to how they want it? I often don’t bother. For the photo below though, I did and it was accepted by Dreamstime the second time round. Since it was accepted it has been downloaded 6 times on DT, netting me $20.46.

This Microstock Site is a “Joke”
Sometimes I hear the words ‘microstock has revolutionised the stock industry’. It’s not microstock, it’s the advent of the digital camera..

The Importance of Keywording in Earnest
One of the most useful resources offered by a microstock agency is Dreamstime’s “Buyer searched after” keyword information. It’s great to have good, marketable images, it’s even better if they are found…

Well, at least the weather was nice!
Summer is a wonderful season, good weather always helps to put a smile on peoples faces. However, summer doesn’t tend to do wonders for microstock sales. And this summer, in my opinion, there was extra negativity going around due to the dictate of fairly new circumstances. Shutterstock is predominantly a subscription based microstock site, for [...]

April Showers
April is known for having frequent showers in the UK. However, I don’t think even 30 days of rain could get me down this month, as I had a lot of good news. As you know from the last post, I had 4 images accepted for the “In the News” page on Dreamstime. I think [...]

In the News
© Photographer: Komar | Agency: Dreamstime.com Another editorial post, but the last one for a while. There has been a lot happening here recently and I’ve enjoyed getting out on the streets and taking spontaneous shots, and not having to worry about model releases. I’m sure a lot of photographers have goals they wish to [...]

It’s Ok, Just Kiss
© Photographer: Komar | Agency: Dreamstime.com Last year a friend asked me if I was going to see the kissing festival. I just gave a smile as if to say, you have to be smarter than that if you think you’re going to fool me. I honestly thought she was pulling my leg and gave [...]

Hurry! Snap Up My Snapshots.
I generally wish that the agencies would offer a little more accurate information when sending rejection reasons. Instead of, your pic. was rejected because of this or possibly this. What? Does the reviewer not know the reason?

Sheep or Sheeps?
Huh! Ok lets try that again. Cat or cats? Back to our favourite subject of keywording. If you have a photo of a cat, ie. one solitary feline friend. Do you just enter the singular of the word or the plural also? Or are you reading this thinking, whatever, i’m a superstar and my cat [...]

What? Keywording? I thought I was a photographer!
So you’ve done your shoot and if like me, you’ve toiled with Photoshop. Right, lets send those amazing pics to the world. Wait, you can’t. You have to keyword your images, using words that you think a potential buyer will use in their search. What if I spent my youth bunking off school and my spelling is terribul?

It’s official – Dreamstime is the BEST agency!
Ok this might not be entirely accurate. As the officialness is derived from a poll, which a grand total of 109 people took part in, including myself and I chose the winner. Woohoo! Wish I had more luck choosing horses. These are the results of the poll which was taken in the Microstock group. Poll [...]

They said, “turn photos sitting on your hard drive into cash!”
Having teething problems, but staying resilient none the less. I’m new to all this and a little surprised, at how difficult it is to get images accepted on these sites. Wasn’t the Microstock industry a way of turning photos, sitting on your hard drive into cash? It’s not as easy as they make it sound. [...]

No, not my age, but my uploads on Dreamstime :] Although 50 years of age is not that far away too, if I think about it. Ok 50 uploads, big deal! Before you say it, why am I writing a post to say I have 50 uploads on a website that has millions. Well hopefully [...]
