Photo Media Stock Preparation

Preparation is key to results and success; in this sense I have prepared for tonight’s important Ycademy Seminar Precall as laid out HERE.

If you click on the picture here – or on GALLERY HERE – you will see a slideshow consisting of a few pictures I selected under different testing aspects.

Photo Media Stock Preparation

As requested for calibration purposes of our Lightroom Pro we have to determine the weaknesses of our individual cameras… be it in the color, tone, contrast, sharpness for example …

I added a couple of pictures as follows:

~ Daylight inside, no flash

~ Daylight outside

~ Daylight outside in the shadow

~ Low light – before sunrise, at sunset, after sunset

~ Stills where I used a Flash inside.

I am looking forward to finding those little common denominators that would improve the quality of each picture automatically as we pull them into Lightroom.

Stock Photography

For Photo Media Stock we need sharp, well focused and attractive photos that buyers then turn into works of art or integrate parts of them according to their priorities, for instance in Advertising. That’s what they pay for.

It’s really important to differentiate clearly between these two caps: am I the seller or the buyer?

I am aware that as creative people and web designers we have to switch between both. This, however, is only possible if we understand and master the basic techniques – and that’s why tonight’s Training Call and the upcoming Ycademy Seminar are so critically important for all those with a passion for Digital Photography and a willingness to enter the competitive field of Stock Photography – even without being professional photographers.
