Jeffrey Isaac Greenberg Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 IMO: processing good subject variety good salability above average consider offering b&w in color, too consider offering natural full body & waist up, too, when making head shots of performers in regalia... get total count above (5000) to realize weekly / multi-weekly sales... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve F Posted September 24 Share Posted September 24 Hi Rob, Agree with Jeff's comments above. Image subjects and processing look very good. You need to get more images up, but good start. Your captions are very short and you don't have a lot of keywords. Keywords are more important than your images, the Alamy search engine works off of keywords so it doesn't look at how 'good' your image is. Captions are also searchable by clients. Some advice from Alamy: 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 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you really need to do is add more information, Caption and Location would be a good start. I have boxes of 35mm chromes with no information. They are worthless, in my opinion, without the "Who, What, Where and When." Best, Chuck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BidC Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 (edited) Hi Rob, Thats a nice set of images. The images of shingles pustules is an excellent example. Personally I would add the medical title 'herpes zoster' into the caption. Plus add where on the body this outbreak is. (Apologies can't get rid of this 'quote' box, that simply appeared from nowhere ....) Quote Edited September 25 by BidC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Ashmore Posted September 26 Share Posted September 26 Yes, I agree with what others have said. Great photos... need more keywords. Taking image 2Y45MD4 as an example, I would add: woman, lady, female, person, portrait, headshot, head shot, pretty, beautiful, culture, cultural, tradition, traditional, costume, spain, europe, costa blanca, elaborate, decorative, mask, feathered, wearing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
