I would greatly appreciate any help in finding images and vectors that meet these requests. I have been speaking with mostly publishers, advertisers and graphic designers and this is information that I have picked up that I hope will help you know what to shoot in the future when you are planning and upload to Cutcaster if you choose to work with us.
One of the biggest requests that I am hearing (and I am sure most of you have heard this before but it is more true than ever) is that buyers want non-posed, non stockish type shots of "everyday" or "ethnic/minority" looking people doing everyday things i.e. shopping, at home, at school, walking etc. This is coming especially from publishers and advertisers. You are going to need model releases for these shots as well in most cases. We are really making a push at Cutcaster for ethnic and minority related people shots so if you have any please upload them.
Thanks again and let me know if you have any questions.

John, based on the same request but from a different thread of yours, I've uploaded photos of Hispanic kids (none posed), at the playground, at a school ball game, teens on cell phones, teens text messaging, kids portraits, kids playing instruments, and so on, they have being selling on just about every site I have uploaded them too, except at Cutcaster...are there specifics to these photos requested by all of these clients you're talking about?...look as I have mention before on this forum, up to this moment I'm still uploading to Cutcaster, I find the site very easy to work with and I find you to be an excellent administrator, but up to now I have not seeing a single sale regardless of what I upload...is this trend going to change soon?...don't take me wrong, I know you're doing the best that you can to produce business, but with no sales is going to be very hard to stay uploading to the site, specially when I'm uploading the topics you're asking for.
Best regards.

these are great images to upload "Hispanic kids (none posed), at the playground, at a school ball game, teens on cell phones, teens text messaging, kids portraits, kids playing instruments," so thank you. Those ones might not have hit at the time but they will over time if you are selling them on other sites. We are definitely making sales of these types of images and people are asking for them so that is why i am asking for more. I understand your criticism and take it very seriously but hang in there. I'm not going anywhere but my desk to make sales calls for you.

Thanks for the reply John, I look forward getting some sales at Cutcaster, which will inspire me to upload lots more of the type of pictures you're requesting.
Best regards.
