From Portraits to Travel imagery, license my work on Gallerystock.com
I almost always have a camera on me when doing any sort of activity. This means I end up with a lot of random images that don’t really fit in my portfolio and/or general marketing strategy. I am a portrait photographer. That is my specialty. It does not mean I don’t photograph anything else though.
Just recently I received an email from a fellow photographer who appreciated me showing a “range” of imagery on my site. It was nice to hear but at the same time a little confusing since, in my mind, I focused on showing portraiture pretty heavily over the past years. But it also rang true, I do have range and it stems from always shooting. Especially for editorial assignments I end up photographing all kinds of different topics. From portraits to architecture and travel to food, I have shot it all. I photographed while riding an elephant, dangling on a vertical cliff hundreds of feet of the ground, underwater and comfortably in a studio. But I do consider myself a portrait photographer and that is what I market myself as. So what do I do with the thousands and thousands of images shot on location, vacation and in between? They go into stock.
I have been involved with the stock industry for over a decade and I have watched profit decline, it’s not been pretty. When agencies introduced the Royalty Free model it became a race to the bottom and I have a feeling that agencies are just now trying to repair that damage. Little late guys…
Anyways, you can find a selection of my work on Gallerystock.com. Portraits, documentary, abstract and travel imagery from locations like Japan, Sri Lanka, India, California, Austria and more…
