CandyAppleRed Images Posted September 30, 2013 Share Posted September 30, 2013 Judging by what I see in UK newspapers and their websites, I'd say they have a decent chance of sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirco Vacca Posted September 30, 2013 Author Share Posted September 30, 2013 Thanks. I ask also because i am shooting in Poland and i was wondering if it is maybe better to have a general caption instead of putting where it is taken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstw Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 Looking at the pics Mirco I couldn't tell you if they were taken in Poland or Glasgow. A more generalised keywording might work in your favour. If you can get model releases then even better. I know a girl who went out in Glasgow one day. Paid an assistant to get model releases signed from people and it worked well for her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirco Vacca Posted October 3, 2013 Author Share Posted October 3, 2013 Thanks for you answer Paul. Releases will not work for me. I prefer to shoot people like they are and not having to get releases loosing some time even knowing that releases can help selling for commercial use. I decided to shoot only for editorial as far it goes to people. When you think about it you will have big circle of clients also without releases. Editorial includes magazins, newspapers, educational books etc. Only this is already a big source. Next to that I love this kind of photography. I like to go to the city and shoot something from scenes. I am don’t like much the indoor posing shots. I did at the beginning of my microstock time many model shots indoor and outdoor and realized that I don’t have fun with that. My joy is to take authentic images from life … then I am free to look around an take whatever I want. This weekend I will be at the Polish mountains in Karpacz. Can not wait to take images from the mountain towns and the nature around it J. I have one day time for that. They will be in maximum 2 weeks on Alamy I guess. To be short Editorial is my direction. That’s why I jumped from Microstock to here. Mirco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jill Morgan Posted October 3, 2013 Share Posted October 3, 2013 I too like to take people as they are. It seems as soon as they know you are taking their picture, they can't help but pose and be aware of the camera. Life as it happens is the fun way to go!
