PhotoDune: What to upload? – Will it Sell?
Amidst tens of thousands of competitors, distinguishing images as being commercially valuable might seem daunting. The best place to start is, without a doubt, the existing PhotoDune library. Familiarise yourself with the images, and see the type of images that have been selected.
Think about the reasons they are accepted:
- Does it say something?
- Does it have a message to tell?
- What different elements make the image special?
What makes an image commercially useful? A photograph can be technically skilled and aesthetically pleasing but still not sellable. What makes an image versatile is its ability to communicate a message, and if that message is only coherent and powerful to you, it won’t sell.
There are always niches to fill. As the PhotoDune library expands we’ll tip you off as to which categories need a little extra attention, and which are done to death.
