I'm still new to the game and one of the most exciting parts was actually seeing my picture in an article. That's happened twice now and is quite an ego boost.
Congratulations on your 500🎉 just subscribed and i liked what you shared. Do you have any recommendations for who to use for stock photography for a beginner? And when I say beginner I mean I am 50 and just got my first camera back in November after a lifetime of dreaming to take photos as a hobby. Your advise would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time and keep up the good work.
@@Corona10ring Hey!! Thanks for the question. I love that you’re jumping into the photography world. It doesn’t matter when, it just matters that you’re here! One of the great things about photography! :) As far as which platform to use for beginners, they are all pretty similar but I’d probably go with Shutterstock. Their interface is pretty straight forward and easy to use.
Hey I have a question. I uploaded some videos of a chef making some food at a restaurant where they make food in front of you. The video got approved and is posted. I never got a signed agreement from the chef who is in the video. Can I be sued by the Chef or by the restaurant (their name isn't visible) if they happen to see the video online? On the other hand, they do know that when you prepare food in front of the diners, everybody is recording. Thanks in advance.
@@saadsalman1650 Great question! I’m not a lawyer but in my experience, if you film in a public place, there generally isn’t an expectation of privacy. If you’re in a restaurant and it’s commonplace to film the chef preparing the food, I imagine an argument can be made that, again, there isn’t an expectation of privacy. Now, can someone sue? Sure, you can sue someone for virtually anything but the chances of an individual willingly incurring thousands of dollars in legal bills over a video of them cooking are pretty slim. If anything, they’d send you a “Cease and desist” letter asking you to take it down. I received one of those before for a stock photo I posted of a resort. I just took it down and that was that. Edit: submitting as “editorial” also helps avoid this. That’s usually how I submit photos that contain recognizable people, brands, etc.
Do you have any videos on how to tag or describe or title your images for maximum visibility? Is there a strategy there, or just throw everything you can think of at it? Thanks!
@@zenofthemoment Great question!! I have definitely noticed a difference in sales on photos where I maxed out the number of tags vs only used a few. That’s probably the most tedious part of the process. Use as many relevant terms as possible. Look at your photo and then put yourself in the shoes of someone looking for that photo. What would you search to find that photo?
Hi. Do you recommend this K&F Concept 64 inch/163cm Camera Tripod? What backpack can you recommend on Amazon that doesn't exceed the airline's size limit for taking on the plane? Thanks
@@bananaukra3235 Hey!! The K&F concept tripods are great. I actually have several K&F’s that I use for various things. For backpacks, I’ve been very pleased with the Peter McKinnon bag. It’s pricey but very durable and even the biggest size is no problem when traveling. I’ve taken it all over the world! Thanks for the questions!!
@@AllAspectsAllAngles Thanks. I have a Neewer Waterproof Camera Case Sling Backpack but as I always carry my 10-18, 18-55 and 55-250mm lenses and my Canon 550D sometimes the camera has little space. Thanks
Well said. I subbed before even before liking or commenting. I just decided to get into stock, so yes this video was really helpful. Thanks.
@@robertbarnes2598 Thank you!!! Welcome to the club!
what an underrated channel!
@tonyfromcz1587 🙏 thank you!! I appreciate that!
I came here to learn about stock photography, and I left thinking this dude has a soothing voice. Should read out audio books.
Hahaha well thank you!!! I’ll add that to the project list!! 🤣 Thanks for checking out the video!

@@jimpchip Congrats!!! Isn’t it fun??? That’s a great feeling. It definitely helps boost the confidence! Cheers to many many more!

hahahaha!
Honestly I do dig doing stock photography. Sometimes waiting on a site to approve photos can be ridiculous
I hear ya! I've had some get approved in a day, some in 2 weeks. No rhyme or reason.
Thank you for 500 subs!! I can't wait to post more videos. Looking forward to your thoughts on stock photography!

Please recommend any beginners camera and lens to start with.
I just subbed ...

It should only be submitted + used as editorial
@@AllAspectsAllAngles that makes sense to me. Thank you for such quick and detailed response!
