Photo Critique / Re: Disappointed after three months microstock - need advice on whether to keep goin
« on: March 10, 2017, 03:25 »
Thank you very much for your replies, I appreciate your input.
As I read from the other comments therewould be two main directions to go - 1) focus on and improve my landscapes and/or 2) get myself/my girlfriend more into the images (like the profile of mirvalda).
1) would take careful planning, researching significant landmarks and always being there at the right time. As pointed out above:
I avoided no. 2 (photographing with people) until now to avoid the hassle of using releases. Maybe I will give this a try.
Once again, thank you very much for your help, I guess after all i gave it a try but with my current ambitions and content I do not see much potential in continuing.

To make returns you have to treat Mstock as a serious business and shoot with that in mind.That's myour take-away after three months as well.

in my opinion if you want to be a travel photographer you must only do this traveling, not having just fun and take some photos. travel photography means 16 hours work day, scouting location, shooting at best light.That's is not compatible with our travel plans and after all MS is not important enough to do so.

If you want to succeed in this business, consider uploading something other than travel and everyday photos.the photos from my travels is the main content I have - considering it a business is not what I want to do - after all I have a day-to-day job.

...by the way, your Instagram pictures are 1,000 times better and many of them could actually sell pretty well.Thank you, I will try uploading a few of those! :-)
