My portfolio Lukefotografo

I kindly ask for an analysis of my portfolio, upload many photos but very low sales. What is the problem? Can you help me?

To help the people more expert than I, you may have to clarify your definition of 'very low sales'

For a well- mixed collection of 8000,  80/year isn't bad. But it takes a few years to get to that rate and you have a lot of similars. So maybe half that as a target.

Your fashion collection seems decent though- maybe ensure it's well tagged?

I can't sell any fashion photos, despite having a large collection and paying attention to captions

Luke, if you were to exclude fashion how big would you say your portfolio was?

I think less than half, because I chose this genre which is in great demand but not here

Studio shots of models on seamless.

Blue background looks horrible. Generally colored and darker backgrounds were popular 20-30 years ago.

Do the same but high key. That is, contemporary style is using a background that light, almost white, maybe even overblown highlights, but, importantly, somewhat graduated (non-uniform). Better yet, more in-demand style is some high-key, out-of-focus background that gives a hint of a location (ex, home, office, beach, cafe, park, city, etc) for context. In the studio you could use some out-of-focus props to achieve that "location" feel.

Even taking into account that this was a strange year, I think it's fair to say there's not much of a market here.
