"I do fashion and editorial work"
I checked out your site. Some nice shots . However if your models looked in as poor condition as your flowers you would sell no shots of them. Despite the fact that you may think this is sort of below you the standard is very high. The aim is to get shots that get you in first and sell when they are up.


If I thought this was below me, I wouldnt have come to the forum to find tips and critiques in the first place. I know I HAVE NO CLUE as to how to shoot anything other than people, and that the few pics Ive taken of objects so far would not get picked. I am looking to get started on it, and I know I have what it takes to make a good picture, I just need to read, share, investigate, shoot and learn how to photographed inanimated subjects.

Just a thought....
Why not go with what you are good at? People can make good Stock subjects too or enhance Stock photos.
Both Jeff and Laurin posted above shots that include people.

Ok. So you do fashion work and have some very nice work. Why shoot flowers? People shots do well. Flowers are generally a no go for the first ten anyway. Put some people shots up and some recent work and I am sure you will go ok. Stock is about selling product or using it to display in articles/ web pages etc. Generally images must be in high technical quality and flowers/produce etc in prime condition.


I will shoot people and get release forms, but I want to try out something different, not only just flowers, but other stuff, even food. So i'll be posting new work here to get critiques see how Im doing. This is all helpful, thank you!

OK, try something different perhaps like this?




Or wildlife like this




Or landscape





Or food







Sports & people











Hope this gives you a few ideas :-)
