Are you asking for advice on how to sell more? If so, I think the main issue is that you have images that are for the most part very specific to where they were taken and that isn't the biggest part of the microstock market - North America and Europe are for most agencies.

Your photography looks more like snapshots rather than stock photos. Go back and check out your favorite photographers. Try to copy how they approach stock photography. That's how you will improve.

don't agree, I do like a lot some of your pictures, they might not be pure stock but they aren't snapshoots for sure, you know how to compose and making the picture interesting, I would say browse pictures in agencies and see what sells more, if you don't wanna shoot the regular stuff keep doing what you are doing, you will understand what will sell more or less in the future, best of luck

Since you dropped the other agencies why aren't you exclusive there? Not that I think it's wise to be just with dreamstime but if that's your decision you should be exclusive.

I really like your Portrait ID: 20723930, Excellent photo but you might clone out the shoulder in the bottom left corner to improve it. If you are able to get more lifestyle pictures like this one along with model releases they would probably sell pretty good.

thanks traveler1116, yes i wanted to become exclusive there but the problem is that i can't sell anywhere even my that pictures which are not on DT and this time am waiting for getty invitation and wanted to sell there :)
thanks reckless, thanks for liking my picture, about that left shoulder i didn't notice thanks for noticing me.. and my most of portrait pictures are street life and to get the sign of these people are almost impossible here because most of them are uneducated and they will not allow me to sign.. but they happy when i shoot there pictures and show them
