cheers iofoto,
it's so refreshing to see someone so willing to share some trade secrets.
as an old mentor once told me, "in art, like life, there is really no fear of competition; the sea is wide enough for all who wants to fish !".
good karma speaks for itself.

Not sure about the number 10 tip--play with the props afterwards.I just store them back in the garage and i think i may need a bigger garage shortly !

Thankyou for sharing this!
As for tip number 10: I (and others) always have fun with the props afterwards - I shoot lots and lots of food!

I got a giggle from the idea of shooting a series of photos. Not sure of anyone else, but everytime I try to submit these I get "too many of the same subject" rejections.
-
Thanks for the ideas.
I always appreciate when big photographers share their knowledge with others.
I like the idea of shooting vertical and horizontal... But too many bored and idiot reviewers reject them as similar.
-
Hey Icefront,
Just an idea but maybe just change up the angle a bit or the focal length and throw in a different prop or pose. Bada-Bing Bada-Bang different shot that will pass the madness known as reviewing.
Best of Luck,
AVAVA

8 of 10 advices are for model shots so it seems I am in wrong department with my photos :-)

Great article! :)

Nothing that I already didn't know (although sometimes I forget something in the heat of the sessions). I don't say that to sound arrogant, but to show how much can be learned in a handful of years of microstock, coming from almost zero in what concerns to stock photography. I would add something:
"Reading professional advice is good and helps, but what you won't never forget is what you learn by trial an error".
