Title: How to go from 20% Accpetance to over 90% Acceptance on Fotolia
Post by: tab62 on August 15, 2013, 15:19

Simple bring your camera indoors (with studio lighting) and your acceptance rate jumps up over 70%   :)

Yeah but it may require house training for wild animals.   :P

I agree - bringing your lights outside works too.

I know you are going to get upset, but you need to get into the basics of photography first. You still have crooked horizons, cropped of subjects, and bad compositions and bad lighting/shadows. I know this, I have seen your portfolio on several agencies. You really need to study the rule of thirds first. Believe me. Just take it as advice. You sill see your sales increase.

I work indoor with daylight (sun light) and some little reflectors and I have 90% of acceptance.

No, the best way is to take photos on white (isolated) background, preferably red tomatoes  [!!] …

Nah it is best to just jump ship as many have from FT because of their license.
