Should the stock sites provide counseling! I guess you like me check your figures on a 15 min basis to see whats selling and whats not. We all get days when the figures hardly drag themselves up to what you would expect on Christmas day and other when sudenly they take off for no reason but how do you pick yourself up and where do you get your inspiration from to mount the next assault on the stock photography world?
I personally either head to my top sellers and try and pick apart why they have sold and try to take it in a new direction or kick back in front of the TV and see what is going on in the advertising world and see if I can get some hint and tips from there. Failing that I will pack away the computer and sleep on it and then hopefully in the morning I will be eager to go again.
If you could shoot any event, person or thing...what would it be?
I will start it off and I would have to say I wish I had taken more pictures of my daughter when she was a baby....and myleene Klass running down a beach!
How do you decide what size document to start with? I tend to go for A3 (297x420mm) plus 3mm bleed all round (303x426mm) for most of my illustrations or 350x350mm for square illustrations.
The reason I have chosen this size is because it gives a file size just over 48m uncompressed which is what Alamy require.
I have just been introduced to the wonderful world of fractals, I am using Quadrium 2 on a mac but my head is starting to spin with all of the different possibilities and setting. Any help would be greatfully received.
I have been working on some Illustrator tutorials and they are up and ready on my website. Any feed back or ideas or even things that you would like me to cover would be welcome.
