Help me to learn product photography

mariah 16.12.19, 15:00
I want to learn about product photography. I mean, who doesn't. It's a pretty big field and there are lots of sub-fields, but I'm interested in learning about how to create great product photography based on my own experience working as a photographer. I've been working on it for the last 2 days and I'm still not sure what is wrong with the photos. I hope you can help me to learn product photography.

Photo-related question

volkmank61 08.04.22, 11:40
I've taken a break from photography. Canon's Utility was never really a draw for me. What are your recommendations for picture processing alternatives? Thanks in advance.

How do I make Photoshop run faster?

Anila Jain 28.06.16, 11:14
Shut down all programs that you don't use. Programs such as Antivir and other virus programs consume a lot of your Ram and you'll be amazed at how much faster everything works in the absence of these programs. Close them or uninstall them within the task manager for the duration of time, this helps tremendously. I would also suggest you to use windows 11 which is the latest OS of Microsoft and it is very fast download here -

Beginner tips for selling your photos

Audrius Mer 11.08.18, 14:39
Hi,

I want to share some info on how to make it in stock photography even if you're a beginner!

I have been in stock photography for about 4 years. I am a contributor of 6 stock agencies:

Shutterstock:
http://submit.shutterstock.com/?ref=1865198

Fotolia:
http://www.fotolia.com/partner/204297204

123RF:
http://www.123rf.com/#audriusmerfeldas

Deposit photos:
http://depositphotos.com?ref=1756291

Dreamstime:
http://www.dreamstime.com/register#res6959677

But actually I have found that Shutterstock works best for me and generates stable income. There are a few difficulties that you may face during registration process:

For when Shutterstock exams your first uploaded batch of photos:

don't worry if you don't pass on the first try, it happens very often. Carefully read the information they provide about examining the photos and try again. If you don't pass, you may need to wait for a while before trying again. Also, for your first photo batch, try to upload various photos with different subjects. Many people struggle with this because of a few reasons:

*Check there are no people in the photo if you don't have model release (document that the person in photo allows you to sell photos of them).

*Check there is no advertising or trademarks that might be subject to copyright (even manufacturer name on a kitchen knife is subject to copyright for example, so be carefull and photoshop it out)

*Check the exposure: your photo should be not overexposed or underexposed, even if you think that it gives mood to the photo. Such photo will probably not be accepted.

*Check that there is no vissible grain or noise. Inspect the photo at 100% size. That's how Shutterstock checks them.

For me, Shutterstock is no. 1 in stock photography. I like 123RF too because they don't delete rejected photos, so you have all the keywords archived. For me, 123RF earns low but stable income, and they also usually accept more photos than other stock agencies.

Hope this helped, good luck in stock photography!

19 ways to become a hated photographer

Anila Jain 13.08.14, 10:45
Human beings seem to think that we are gonna take their photograph, positioned it in an ad, and make a gazillion greenbacks off of it, and they won't get a say inside the count, an awful lot much less a reduction of the $. Oh, if only that were proper. This isn't always certainly paranoia, as photogs and editors used to be plenty much less careful about releases. Nowadays no editor worth the pay will receive a photograph without a replica of the discharge, no matter what the use (besides news.) information is specifically exempted with the aid of case law within us - any individual sued and lost, but in Canada, a launch is required for the newspaper. I do not know about European law. Well-known human beings are exempt from the release regulation, however, regular people are not.

I have posted another six [6] images this morning "Langa Cape Town". All six have got little padlocks on with "the photo is currently not in the public discussion". Must I change anything when I post images?
