Phil Robinson Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I don't know how important the category fields in the optional info are in searches - or are likely to become - but I do always try to apply them as best I can. There are some obvious gaps though, and so I find it hard to categorise some of my images. Suggestions: religion politics (I can't bring myself to tag Jacob Rees Mogg as 'entertainment and celebrities') history - not archive/historical (ie old) images, but pics with a historical subject daily / everyday life I know there are more, but I can't think of them at the moment. I'm sure others can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 I would like to see Culture. Using Lifestyle for the Maasai people seems somehow wrong to me. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted August 30, 2017 Author Share Posted August 30, 2017 Yes, I understand 'lifestyle' as quite a narrow, aspirational (expensive to set up and model-released) category - or am I wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted August 30, 2017 Share Posted August 30, 2017 Here's one to help you. It doesn't have to be beer, I suppose.......... Maybe this one will lodge in the grey cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CHP Posted September 1, 2017 Share Posted September 1, 2017 IMHO the categories in AIM should match those shown on the Alamy homepage. There are 56 of them, which is probably too many, but those in AIM should at least match a subset of those. Also, a short description of each category would be useful so that its not left up to the interpretation of each contributor. Clarence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
