Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary Taking 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. I've worked with teacup poodles, miniature poodles, standard poodles, etc. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary iStockphoto 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. There are warnings of infringement issues, calls for a boycott of iStockphoto and dire predictions of the demise of the design profession. While many iStock contributors are excited about the prospect, others are citing the necessity of the design community to band together to stop offering their work so cheaply, and of educating the young designers on the necessity of stopping the race to the bottom. Expert Author: Travis Olague | Summary Canvassing your photos allows you to keep the most cherished memoirs close to our heart. Having read the article you will get visual evidences why usual photos bear no comparison with canvas printing ones. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary A 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. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary I came up with what I thought was a great idea, a kind of positive spin on the old half-full, half empty glass theme. My idea was for a photograph of a hand holding up a glass with a rainbow in the background creating the illusion that the rainbow was pouring into the glass. A timeless concept stock photo illustrating success, optimism, positive thinking, and the way forward. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary 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. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary 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! Expert Author: Travis Olague | Summary If we start scoping all spheres where canvas printing is used, the most unexpected areas will open up before us. This marvellous technology makes it possible to use canvas print everywhere where the image has to occur. This is because canvas prints are absolutely rich-looking, highly durable and they are eye-catching. Thanks to these main advantages canvas printing is gaining new strength. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary A 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. Expert Author: Travis Olague | Summary With walls hung with paintings and canvases is a big part of what makes your home attractive and a super place to live in. These hanging prints can when carefully selected become an excellent collection of their own, and therefore it can be with great pride that you show off your accommodation. As a connoisseur of art you might be wondering what the difference is between art prints and oil painting reproductions. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary I had lunch yesterday with an old friend of mine who remarked that "Things change when you can see the end". He was referring to the fact that he wants to work less and enjoy his life more. He, like me, is 57 years old. It is true. Even 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. A good example can be seen in a stock shoot I did in Buenos Aires. Expert Author: Alex Swenson | Summary Are you ready to shoot your actor headshots? If you've already picked a headshot photographer and have your wardrobe, hair and makeup all figured out, here are five tips to help you get the most out of your headshot photo session. Expert Author: Travis Olague | Summary It is quite possible that you have already heard much about canvas prints. It is a perfect way to decorate your home or workplace. You probably also like the idea of transforming your photo into a modern pop art portrait. But why should you prefer canvas prints to photos? For the last several years, the photography industry has been in a very steady decline. There are many different factors that have caused this, but the bottom line is the same; thousands of businesses have gone under. The very idea of starting a photography studio that does weddings and senior pictures is a little crazy right now. The market works in cycles and eventually there will be a demand for these services again, but when? Until then, most people who want their wedding photographed by a professional have two choices; have Uncle Fred do it or pay thousands of dollars for someone who fancies themselves an artist. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary This article is an interview with world class stock photographer Inti St. Clair. The interview delves into how she came about being a stock photographer and many current stock photo topics like marketing, shooting stock, and the future of the industry. Expert Author: Alistair Summers | Summary Modern digital photography allows photo repair specialists to apply photo restoration techniques that can bring your pictures back to nearly their original condition. In some cases it is even possible to exceed the quality of the original photograph. Expert Author: Daniel Owen | Summary Aerial photography is the art of taking photographs an in elevated position from the ground. Aerial Photography is usually the term that is referred to when the images taken from the camera are not supported by any type of ground based structure. You may be intrigued by how the marine iguana looks like as compared with the rest of the land-based iguanas. It is only proper for you to know the distinction between them. The land-based iguanas are also tree-dwellers. Meaning, they do love to stay above the trees that you may often mistake them for ordinary lizards only that they are larger. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary The number of stock photos, free and otherwise, is burgeoning and is only going to increase. Flicker has, for example, at the time of this writing, over 2 billion images. Stock photographers need to think carefully about how best to market their images. Expert Author: John M. Lund | Summary Just thought I would share the production details about how I created a new ‘concept’ stock photo. As with so many of my images it has taken two years from the inception of my idea to the final execution. Why so long? I wish I knew! I think I have this belief that an idea is going to be really difficult to create and so I procrastinate. As it turns out, this image was easy to do.
