wiskerke Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 3 hours ago, Jay D said: Thank you for that explanation, although i contribute and have always loved art and photography my background is very different so not entirely sure of the workings of publishing etc. So just trying to understand it further. I can see how it can become a very tangled web, not knowing what's been used and where and by whom, tracebility etc. It's a lovely feature that i enjoy skirting through almost daily and enjoy seeing others getting sales. The commission comment was tongue in cheek There is something else to contributing here as well. You are in a sense looking at images as a client. After a while you may be able to understand what keywords clients use and what the competition looks like. And which images clients prefer and sometimes why. While it is easiest to do a reverse lookup, it's more revealing to try and guess the way an picture editor/image researcher works. Hint: for newspapers it's often just one keyword or a phrase copy/pasted from the article as they have very little time. If you have ever seen a picture editor at work, you'll know that the decision what to use or what to put on a shortlist is made in a split-second - seldom in seconds, let alone minutes. wim 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fascinating world this is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
