categories and tagging

[Flick Merauld]

How important are categories? I find the Alamy ones really difficult as many of them seem to be dual, but not to fit my content exactly. For example, is an old building archive and historical (that kind of suggests maps and documents to me) or architecture and interiors, or something else? Also, I've just spent a day tagging 44 images: please tell me there's an easier way! Any advice much appreciated

Has Alamy closed this post? Yesterday, they closed another one I was on and I have no idea why.

Nope still open.

 

Here's a picture of Oxford from 2014. Everybody does the grand views of honey stoned buildings in the magic hour, so that day I did a few monochrome detail shots.

Why copy the competitors all the time.

I think they would have closed that one,  Help getting better exposure, because it had fairly quickly become a redirect to another thread that answered the same question. One of many dealing with that issue of course.

@Flick Merauld Welcome to Alamy (I'm a tad late, I know).

 

I love the artsy style of your images.
