I gave a presentation on stock and fine art photography to my local Camera club in Austin, Texas, back in May and had great plans to record the audio and then convert the presentation into a video for a wider audience. I had purchased a little lavalier microphone and it was ready to go into my phone to capture the audio cleanly. But in the 10 minutes prior to taking the stage, it wouldn’t work and so all those plans...

I’m writing this post in case readers of these articles come across a similar issue and so can see the steps I have taken to try to resolve it. So far unsuccessfully, I’m afraid. If you have any suggestions, please let me (and other people with this issue) know in the comments. I’ve been running Lightroom Classic for many years on Windows 10 and now 11 and the app is up to date. I have increasingly been seeing an error...
Over $3000 in earnings this month from selling photos and videos online at stock agencies and print on demand sites including my Etsy store
One of my favorite stock photographers is Annie from Milleflore Images in Australia. I’ve known her since the early 2010s and have been constantly impressed by the skill and dedication that she applies to her stock photography and videography, particularly in the area of food photography.

And so, I have many more images to process and upload to the stock sites. The broken wrist did help expand my portfolio though: But back to January and earnings from stock photography and fine art prints. I ended the month with a total...
This article from early 2025 is still relevant to give you some background to keywording for stock photography, although I have finally found a flexible system I am going to stick with. My full review of ArtushVision AI keywording solution is here. I’ve decided to write about keywording this morning. For some time, I’ve used the IMS Keyworder website application which allows you to insert a few keywords into their web page and then choose which images match your particular...
Another year goes by and another report of mine is late! My excuse – totaling these large numbers takes time! And one more diversion before we get into the meat of the report. Alex from Brutally Honest Stock has written a novel for his December/end of 2024 report. Definitely worth reading and an excellent summary of the state of the industry. December turned out to be pretty successful overall, but not because of stock earnings. I could see from Microstockr...
