Designers are always looking for the right "look" for their project and your model might just be it. The problem that I see is getting those images seen amongst the vast sea of already-uploaded people.

I think that's the challenge for all of us at this point.  There are still original ways to shoot things but how to avoid their getting lost among all the similars?

Especially when new images are buried under tons of old good sellers.

Funny you should mention that, because when agencies use a best match churn to bring new photos to the front, some people complain that their "best sellers" and images with good ratings are showing at the end of searches and new images are getting moved to the front.

I guess there's no winning.

If they have the old, best sellers first, people complain about new and creative being pushed to the back. If agencies present diversity, and allow new images to get views, people will complain that old best sellers are getting pushed to the back?  ???

I like the diversity and varied display that gives buyers a different selection. Old timers with good sellers, will want their images first just because they are older and more popular.
