As a photographer I have taken pics of many different things. Like empty drinking glasses, champagne bottles, Western style boots, automobiles new and vintage, eyeglasses, coins, animals of various sorts, plants, furniture etc. Because they all make good subjects for photos. Also stock photo agencies need photos on everything or anything. I think a varied portfolio of pics on different subjects should be a good thing to have. You may be able to appeal to a more diverse crowd that way. That's my opinion about this.

I wasn’t talking about good editorial content. These images can be creative and useful especially since most editorial outlets fired all their content creators. Thanks for watching.

I found this video very interesting. Vladimir makes a cogent argument. There is so much wonderful, creative photography out there; and there is an enormous amount of mindless, lack lustre photography to boot. And, of course, there is much in-between worthy of comment. Nicole Glass is right to assert the merits of being a go-getter, seizing on the opportunities when they latter present themselves. However, Vladimir, in my view, did not criticize this approach to honing one's skills. I think he was just pointing out the fact that there is room for all in Stock Photography; but only a few are able to make a living from it. Moreover, longevity will most likely reside with those who have the talent, determination, and the willingness to critique their own approaches to what makes photography a valid pursuit. My own view is that Nicole Glass takes issue with Vladimir's video when really she is only reasserting what she knows to be good advice.

Thanks Michael, yes it is brutal now. 20 years ago I was getting average stock sale around $200 in current money, it will be like $600. I checked my sales for last year and my average sale is $32. Obviously you can’t live on that income. Everything changed for photography, we are not magicians anymore. Welcome to my channel. I invite you to subscribe. Be well.

Thank you! Welcome to my channel.

It is indeed. Stock gives great practice for skills in different kinds of commercial photography without getting and dealing with clients. As a money source it is a secondary at best. I just feel it is important to tell the reality of this business to photographers. Too many talking heads on KZfaq promising unrealistic financial rewards. i invite you to browse subscribe.

@@Vladimiradventurephotography :) already did, couple of days before.

Thank you! Welcome to my channel.

Thank you. Welcome to my channel.

Welcome to my channel. There are many stock photo agencies around, web search will give you a bunch. I use Alamy and Shutterstock. Good luck.

Thanks Giovanni, you live in a beautiful country. Definitely my favorite. What you already doing will be a good start. People portraits and street photography you already know, just expand a little. Do portraits but in a work place or lifestyle situation always big demand, add different demographics and race and you good to go. I discussed street photography in my previous video. I invite you to subscribe. Keep in touch. Ciao.

@@Vladimiradventurephotography the thing is I would be happier if I can skip as of now the "papers" part so maybe some inanimate or something else? I asked to some friends but I didn't find anyone willing to portrait for stock images yet, anyway I'll definitely watch your street photography video, let me know if you have any other subject to suggest me that I can "play with" for stock with my equipment! I am subscribed since some time already, bell is on. I'll be in touch! Ciao!

Hello, welcome to my channel. It's hard for me to say what to upload for sales for better sales. I recommend to review your agencies top pics for ideas of what sells. Good luck.

Depends on what I shoot. Different equipment for different jobs. Please be more specific. What kind of stock photography you are asking about?

@@Vladimiradventurephotography let's say travel photography firstly then lifestyle outside women or young people photography.

For travel I will use whole range zooms from 16mm to 200 mm because it includes so many things. For lifestyle I will use from normal 50mm to 200, zooms. All lenses for full frame. Cameras can be APS-C or full frame, DSLR or mirrorless doesn’t matter.

Please watch my video “what’s in my camera bag”, I give more details
