Title: Efficient process for preparing and uploading photos
Post by: pdarvell on March 01, 2018, 09:22

I run a photography training company in the UK teaching beginners how to use their camera - I love my job and love being a photographer.

I have looked at using my library of images for stock for a long time. The thing that puts me off is when I have tried it, the process of getting the photographs cleaned up, keyworded, titles etc added and then loaded onto the stock sites seems like a lot of work for not much return.

I think I must be doing something wrong, I would be keen to learn more about streamlining this process. Does anyone have any suggestions of resources I could access?

Thanks
Paul

No, I think you've discovered how microstock works :).

Do that badly and they will be rejected.

Do that badly and they won't be found.

Do that badly and they definitely won't be found.

Hi Paul

I had a go at documenting my approach to managing images and uploads. Hope this helps:
