Yeah. First post here.

awesome, thanks

This is just to get me started!

Hello from France:

Hello!

I am Nuno from Portugal and I started in microstock more than 10 years ago.

This is my first post here and I will create a thread to present a work in progress project based on microstock, to help an organization who cares of impaired and disable people, near the place where I live.

Thanks!

I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Kind regards,
Nuno

Hi everyone,
new on the forum as a member, but I have been a longtime reader. I am a self taught photographer, working for several sites like SS, iStock, Getty and the likes. After a long absence due to sickness, I'm trying to get back to work as good as I can. But finding myself on a crossroad, should I continue micro stock or change my path to fine arts photography.
I got so much helpful info from this forum already, when I started out as a photographer. Maybe the answer to finding my new path can be found here

Thanks for the info!

 Hello,

I have a problem with deep meta, when I uploaded my vectors I see them as pixel image in website when I stock accepted them, probably the name files were different,

but deep meta should warn me. My question is how can I understand my vector file added in deep meta properly? I am new here I couldn't find a way to open a new post excuse me.

I would be glad if you can answer my problem. Thanks

First post. Hello to all from !

It makes sense

Thank you for clarifying the rule.
It could be a good idea to update the help section regarding what is really required for posting.

You won't enjoy being here if you're looking for free images to put on items to sell.
This is a discussion group for people who are selling images.

i'm already selling my stock images but for i'm working on some new artistic prints and i need licensed images i can't shoot where i live now and because of Covid-19 limitations it's still not easy to move abroad so the cheapest option is buying EL stock images, simple as that.

That's what i was trying to discuss here but i can't even open a new topic.

I'm doing a set of collages each made of minimum 5-6 different objects and a maximum of 40-50, all cutout from my own images, but in many cases i need other stuff (an iconic monument, the face of a specific ethnicity with their local dress and in a specific lighting, rare objects that i can't find here) that i don't have in my archive so the only option is buying them with EL licence but it's overkill to pay 30-40$ each considering i need many of them and in the final composite they will just take a small space, i cannot post an example but basically the central subjects of my composites are the faces of girls i shot here surrounded by several other objects, most of them are also blurred or faded and barely visible so the price/performance ratio is definetely not worth it in my opinion, the only solution i see is buying the cheapest EL Subscription for 70-80 images/month but i'm open to other legal options if you know any.

As I newbie on the forums and not a bot, my first post is signing this thread as read 😅

Thanks for the info how to Start New Topic

thank you very much for the info - glad to be part of the team
