How can you ensure that your microstock photos get discovered on Shutterstock and other stock photography platforms? It's not always easy to anticipate what will get you downloads. For one, you need to ensure that the photos you upload are unique, not in a category that’s overly saturated, and that they could be of value to someone. In this video I talk about four of my editorial image sets on Shutterstock that were downloaded by the news media in large quantities - and why these photos were so successful at one point or another. Maybe this video will give you some ideas or inspiration!
These four image sets include:
1) Photos of a Massage Envy entrance
2) Photos of The Wharf in Washington, D.C.
3) Photos of a vigil and protest held outside of the NRA building on the fifth anniversary of the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting
4) Photos of overflowing garbage cans on the National Mall
