Steve F Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Hi Rob. Reading your title, are you sure you want a full critique? Critique is given in good faith and meant to help, but some people receiving it can take it very personally. I would add that many of us have progressed as photographers since we started doing this. I'm certainly better now than when I started, thanks in large part to help from the Alamy Forum as well as experience and reading a lot about photography.

John Morrison Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Inside and out, a lot of pix are too gloomy: grey skies, unrevealing light (for example, your Venice pix will be competing with zillions of other images which are colourful, vibrant, tightly cropped and full of life). Some odd compositions, where the subject isn’t obvious. Skewed horizons. Out of your 136 pix I would have uploaded no more than 10 or 20… which need to be given better captions and more descriptive tags (keywords). Just my opinion (and worth as much as you paid for it!). In terms of confidence, be reassured that with tighter editing of pix, and raising the quality bar, you too can share in the financial bonanza that is stock photography in 2023... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed Rooney Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 There are 4 values to consider when you choose to snap a subject: lighting, composition, color or tone, and what if anything is happening. Ask yourself these questions about your images, Rob. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanDavidson Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 (edited) 6 hours ago, Steve F said: are you sure you want a full critique Rob, Steve asks a good question. Some photographers ask for a critique on here thinking that everyone will say "great photos" etc. Because that is what they are used to getting from friends etc about their pictures; the vast majority of cases they don't get that. The comments on here are incredibly helpful, and made, mainly, by contributors who have a lot of experience in Alamy stock photography and critique to a professional level. I am a good(ish) news photographer but an average technical picture maker. and I would not want to put my pictures up here. (I am in a professional one to one mentoring program and that is hard enough). What sometimes happens that a contributor asks for feedback gets it does not like it and gets into an argument with those who made the critique. So, be sure you know what you are getting into. Look at the portfolios of others who have asked for critiques and the comments made. That will give you a good idea what could be heading in your direction.

Michael Ventura Posted August 10, 2023 Share Posted August 10, 2023 Overall, I think many are flat and muddy in tone and with no regard to the horizon lines, looking like they were taken in a hurry and had no post processing at all.

OK thats enough of the negative and reality. The thing with ALAMY is you just do not know what will sell, just what may not. Somewhere, some day, somone may want picture of a faded Yellow Hungarian Tram with grass under the wheels; and there it is, they just have to be able to find it.

The main market is probably the UK, but a big chunk of the rest of the world speaks/writes US English, also thanks to the various spell checkers. Not many searches for Tram Linz, but not many images on Alamy either. How do we know? All of Alamy or AoA for short. (You have to be logged in. There's also a link on your dashboard.) Try Linz and %Linz% (and some of your other subjects). Set the date as far back as possible; at the moment: Aug 01 2022. The %% are a database thing.

Steve F Posted August 11, 2023 Share Posted August 11, 2023 (edited) Hi Rob, good to know. You've got a lot to go through; if I was you I'd take stock (pun totally intended) and try to take it all in before continuing to upload. On the upside, you don't have hundreds or thousands of images to edit or re-keyword so you can make the necessary changes early. 1. re. editing, the majority of contributors will edit raw files, although some do submit JPEGs directly from the camera. Editing will generally be minimal (and large edits are not wanted) for images submitted for Live News, but otherwise edits will generally consist of something like: Lens corrections Level horizons, get rid of converging verticals Potential cropping to improve the composition/get rid of distracting elements Correct the white balance and temperature Correct the exposure Get rid of any dust spots or distracting elements Carry out local saturation/exposure edits etc. Adjust the saturation/luminance etc. overall and on individual colours if needed. Adjust the white and black points. Adjust shadows You should really be editing to help increase the saleability of your images and in order to avoid failing Alamy's QC and getting sin binned for a period where you can't upload. Common QC failure reasons here: https://www.alamy.com/contributors/alamy-qc-failure-reasons.pdf 2. Captions are searchable by clients. Your captions are far too short. Aside from that, clients will be reading captions on search pages by hovering over an image. If they're looking for e.g. a certain place and neither the place nor the country is mentioned in the caption, they will probably move swiftly on to one of the hundreds of other images available. Include the Latin as well as the common name of plants, insects and the location (including the country). Some helpful links: https://www.alamy.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/Captions-and-Tags-checklist.pdf https://www.alamy.com/blog/tips-for-your-captions-from-the-sales-team https://www.alamy.com/blog/captions-and-tags Try to make use of all 150 letters available to you in the caption. Include British and American spellings, e.g. color and colour. You should include what you can see in the image and any extra wording to try to make an image more saleable, e.g.: https://discussion.alamy.com/topic/16942-images-sold-in-august-2023/?do=findComment&comment=344625 3. You should be aware of CTR (click through rate). Your pictures will appear at a certain level (e.g. first page, 10th page... etc.) in searches by clients, depending on various factors. CTR and Sales are the only factors we know about for sure in the secret formula Alamy uses to set our search ranking. Your CTR rank (on your Dashboard) is a function of the number of times a client zooms (clicks on) one of your images versus the number of times your images appear in a client search, but are not zoomed. CTR=Zooms/Views * 100 This is basically a long way of me saying, don't spam keywords. E.g. don't put sky, blue, clouds for every single outdoors picture you shoot. There is a tendency to try to put lots of keywords for your images to try to get them seen by clients. So they may well appear in searches, but if they're not zoomed by a client, your CTR rank will drop. Which means your images won't show as high up in client searches. You don't want your images to get buried in the 350 million images on Alamy. By all means, put a lot of keywords in for certain pictures if they're relevant. Captions and keywords are almost more important than the image itself because you can have the most amazing images ever, but if they're keyworded wrong, no one will ever see them. Also include singular and plurals of words if appropriate. Don't worry about moving the line to optimised (green) - we have collectively decided that this is not a good idea unless you really need that many keywords. Additionally, the technical quality of your images will affect your CTR as they are highly unlikely to be zoomed if the thumbnail looks bad - I agree with comments above from others on composition, lighting, subject matter etc. You may want to remove some images from your portfolio - the underexposed shots with skewed horizons are highly unlikely to sell. 4. Try to be more commercial about what you shoot. Try to imagine what a client would/could use your image for. Keep a look out for published stock photos (you can see in the photo credits) - these are the 'winners'. How do yours compare in terms of subject, composition, lighting...? Not saying you need to be completely formulaic, but you also need to produce saleable images. From a personal side, I've been doing this since summer 2015 and I'm at about 5000 images. I've got lots of hobbies, but I've dedicated a lot of time to this and I've still only got 5000 images - take a look at the portfolio size of Jeffrey and other contributors above! These days I try to be more commercial about what I shoot, primarily because it's a lot of work to take, edit and keyword thousands of images. So whilst you never know what will sell, you should be asking yourself questions like: Is anyone actually ever going to want to license this image? Is the lighting good enough? Unless you're taking an image of something that's really rare, chances are there already at least tens or hundreds of your subject online for sale already. If you have terrible lighting, don't even bother taking the image - e.g. a totally overcast sky with really flat shadows in the scene. Or a building that is backlit by the sun from behind. Is my subject large enough in frame? e.g. it's too far away and you don't have a large enough zoom. Are there areas of my image that are too boring, too much empty space? E.g. a street scene, can I wait for some people to enter that space so then I take the shot? (re. people, people in images and people doing things, sell. Get out of the habit of waiting for a scene to be empty of people before you take the image, unless you're trying to do a beautiful nature shot. And you might find that taking a picture of all the tourists taking pictures at a beautiful site is the one that sells!) Be aware that as westerners that read from left to right, images tend to look better to westerners if people are walking from left to right in an image. Ditto to have the tallest person on the left if you're doing a photo of a couple for example. And if you have a negative answer to these, then it's not worth taking the time and effort to take, edit and keyword/caption the photo. 5. Have a look at other contributor's portfolio reviews. Lots of useful information there. 6. Some comments on some images (same as mentioned by others above): Overall, many are too underexposed. Brighter images will look better on thumbnails and you don't often see noticeably underexposed images published. The wonky horizons don't look artistic, they just make the images look like hurried snapshots - needs to be sorted out with post editing. I'm not mentioning the captions or keywords, see 2 above and other's comments. This could work if the window distortion was sorted out. But the elements at the front are very distracting - are the people supposed to be part of the image or were they accidentally included because they got in the way? They're half in and half out. Looks like a very hurried snapshot, and I expect picture buyers would think the same. Watch out for scenes with very different exposure values, like here where the image is exposed for the sky and very underexposed for the foreground. You can use a very dark foreground if it creates an interesting silhouette against the sky, but otherwise it's a big no no. Also, the horizon is noticeable skewed and the building on the left is leaning to the left - both can easily be corrected with software. Also, it's very unclear what the subject is here, my eye goes around the image and doesn't settle on anything. The foreground is also very boring - it's too dark, boring texture, nothing of interest. Horizon. Scene is too boring, buildings are generic, lighting is too bland, large area of empty boring foreground. Main subject is far too small. Tree on the left is very distracting, takes up too much space and is essentially black without an interesting shape, so too boring. Trees can be a good mechanism for framing an image, but it doesn't work here. Horizon skewed again. As other have said, there will be many many images of famous landmarks with good lighting and skies etc. that you're in competition with. Here, you've chopped off the top of the basilica, horizon skewed again, underexposed image (probably at least one stop) and very bland lighting creating a flat image and very dull colours. Bland lighting again and no gondolas in image so a very boring foreground - you might need to wait a few minutes for one to come into view... Some images take preparation. Horizon not straight again. Underexposed. I mainly picked this image because of the caption 'Bridge over Canal in Venice'. Many image purchasers will be looking for specific areas in Venice, so you should be naming the canal and the bridge as well as mentioning Venice and Italy in the caption. Google is your friend! I hope this helps, best of luck. Steve Edited August 13, 2023 by Steve F 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These will have great advice on composition, lighting, colour, how to edit images etc. I would also suggest doing this if you have the time (if you haven't already done so, but I'm guessing not from your posts above. You can also get these tips for free on YouTube, but I'm still a fan of the magazines, old school!)

How do yours compare in terms of subject, composition, lighting...? Not saying you need to be completely formulaic, but you also need to produce saleable images. This is excellent advice. In the world of sales, understanding your audience and offering what they desire to purchase is key. It's a principle that sounds simple but can be surprisingly challenging to put into practice. In my career as a news photographer, this idea has become a constant pursuit. My daily routine is filled with a delicate balance of researching and shooting. Scouring newspapers for breaking stories and accompanying photographs is only the tip of the iceberg. Every three months, I create a mind map to identify potential news trends and scan social media for the latest news and events. Local happenings, breaking trends, seasonal shifts—all these factors shape my approach, whether I'm focusing on news or stock photography. For instance, as autumn approaches, my thoughts turn to capturing the unique essence of the season. When taking news photographs, I always consider the possibility of them being used as stock in the future. This foresight doesn't mean mimicking what's popular but rather understanding the appeal and crafting my unique perspective. The process starts even before the shutter clicks. Thinking like an image buyer, I ponder the potential uses of each photograph, imagining how it can best serve the viewer. My strategy isn't without its challenges. I often grapple with a decision-making algorithm I refer to as “Exploit or Explore.” Do I capitalize on proven sellers, or venture into uncharted territory to discover something new? My frequent assignments in Downing Street, London—home to the U.K.'s top political offices—offer a dependable market, but I often wonder if I should expand my horizons. Balancing this exploration with daily necessities, like hitting my 10,000-step goal set by my personal trainer, my camera never leaves my side. I abide by a simple philosophy: better to have your camera and not need it than to need it and not have it. Stock photography is more than capturing a beautiful image; it's about understanding trends and needs, crafting captivating captions that answer the fundamental questions of who, what, when, where, and why, and employing skillful keywording. Even the inclusion of Latin names for flora and fauna can elevate a photograph's value. Attention to these details, paired with technical proficiency, crafts the full picture of success in this ever-evolving field Everyone has their own strategy, this is mine…. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
