 Shooting a Waterfall for a Stock Photo, or NotYesterday I decided to find and shoot a waterfall for an image I want to create. The image I have in mind is a concept stock photo of a man going over a waterfall in a barrel. I photographed the man in the barrel, in my studio, a couple of months ago. However, I don’t have a suitable waterfall image. The Poodle Is Truly a Wonderful Dog BreedTaking pictures of many types of dog breeds in my work as a stock photographer has provided me an opportunity to work with both large and small dog breeds and a number of poodle breeds. iStock, Logos, And Deja Vu All Over AgainiStockphoto has announced their intention to sell logos and it is causing quite a stir in the design community. I guess a lot of designers think that the low price of logos on iStock demeans their profession and threatens their livelihood. The One Man Band and a Network of ThousandsHaving the right employees can make your business more efficient and profitable, and having the wrong employees can really drag you down. One question you need to answer before you grow your business staff is whether it will suit the life you want to lead. Wrestling With a Stock Photo StrategyA good example of the approach I am currently taking to my stock photography can be seen in a recent shoot based around a Sumo wrestler. The idea originated from a shoot I did a few years ago. I had photographed flying trapeze artists to illustrate concepts such as teamwork, risk and skill. Stock Photography and the Timeless ImageI came up with what I thought was a great idea for a stock photo, a kind of positive spin on the old half-full, half empty glass theme. A timeless concept stock photo illustrating success, optimism, positive thinking, and the way forward. Funny Cat Photos and Free Jpeg Images (Gasp)I am now offering free jpeg images of funny cat photos on my web site. I never thought I would be saying that! These are not images well suited to advertising, though I imagine I can make a least some advertising sales. They are really best for exactly what they were designed for, greeting cards. The Continuing Challenge: RM, RF or Micro?I am not cut out for producing large quantities of images. My love is for producing highly Photoshop-manipulated concept stock photos. I am guessing that eliminates me from Micro stock…so if anyone reading this has experience that would suggest otherwise, I’d love to hear from you! Getting Into Motion Stock PhotographyA professional stock photographer discusses the future of stock video and how he is dipping his toe into the world of motion stock photography. Opinon within the stock industry is sharply divided. Lifestyle Stock and Minutes You'll Never Get BackEven at, say 49, life looked different to me. Increasingly, every minute is important. More and more I look at my stock photo career and ask myself how I can use it to not just make money, but to enjoy my life.
