Good video. Fortunately, I started back in 2006, so I've been able to keep ahead of the curve purely on volume. I still upload every day and looking forward to another great year.
That is great to hear! I wish I started back in 2006 and have the knowledge I have right now :) Probably I would be a millionaire, hehe :)
Very helpful mate!! Thank you very much!!
Thanks for watching :)
Great job explaining it, Luka!
Thank you very much :)
Thanks for the video. It is amazing
You are welcome!
What a great video. I have been stuck in the valley of death for quite some years now, but my latest people lifestyle looking to pay off. Just need to get more of those shoots under the belt. You are a great inspiration, Luka, and I love your TH-cam videos - keep doing those, you're helping a lot of contributor ....
Thank you! It is really good to hear that my videos are helpful :)
And I wish you all the best with your upcoming shoots!
Great video! Thanks!
You are welcome
Thanks for the video.
You are welcome :)
Great advice!
Thank you!
Thanks for your tips. greetings from Quito Ecuador
Greetings back to you, and like always, you are welcome :)
Luka - great advice thank you - I do stock for fun and if I make some money that is a bonus
Yeah, that is a great way to make some extra money if you like photography and videography!
Great work 👏
Thank you!
@@LukaAzman most welcome 🙌
Thanks for making this video Luka, it is encouraging. I have only made approx £100 from stock in the last year, but I am finally starting to see a noticeable increase in the views and downloads my images are getting so I will keep at it.
Amusingly, my most downloaded image by far is just a bunch of cardboard boxes in a pile.
Thank you! Yes, sometimes the dumbest images get most of the downloads. I have a few shoots where from all the lifestyle photos from that shoot, the most downloaded image is just close up of something, or an empty space :)
perfect explaination.! man .. well curently i am at scale.! so investing some of my earning in gears and stuff required for stock.!
Thanks man! Awesome to hear! I am always happy when I am buying new lenses :)
Hi. Thanks for motivational video.
You are so welcome!
Awesome information, in photography speed light is good or pop flash with pop up diffuser is good ?
Well, I would never use pop up flash, because it will just look fake in my opinion. You want the light to look natural. I use video lights, because I also shoot video, and also those are not so powerful as flash. And I usually bounce it of the wall, or use a softbox. If you use flash, you should also bounce it of the wall, so it spreads the light more (unless you want a specific look), or use a softbox. But depends on which flash you are using, a lot of those flash lights are too powerful, even at lowest setting, so it does not work well together with natural light. If you use better flash, where you can set the output to very low, that can work. But I prefer video lights :)
@@LukaAzman thank you so much 🙏🙏
Thanks!
Welcome!
Oh, thank you so much!) I sell exactly 1 picture per day for about $0.33. I don't understand why there's only one. sometimes different pictures, but 1 a day.. and I assure my husband that this is not an empty exercise, that the drains should pay off over time. 😅 your video is very timely!
Wow, that is interesting. I am not sure why this happens :)
I don't understand something, if they sell my pic. with 7 $, and they give me 15%, i should receive 1.05 $. So i sell 14 pic and i see that i have 7,43 $ in my account, so i miss something here
Well, it depends on the license model. Maybe they bought subscription, maybe they bought a package of credits, where they got more credits for less money, maybe they have some agreement with a big company which is buying 1000s of images, and they will get images cheaper,... It is quite hard to understand. You can download your royalty statement as pdf and check there.
According to you, How many footages in portfolio can make people earn about 500 usd a month? Thank!
That is really hard to say. You can have 20000 crappy photos or videos and still don't get to 500$ a mont, or you can have 1000 photos. It really depends. Also, if you have crappy keywords, but good images, nobody will find them. Also, if you upload 10000 images now, you won't sell much in first few months. So you really can't say how many images or videos should you have to reach that. But I would say with consistency you can reach that in a year or so.
@@LukaAzman I have about 2000 photos and 800 footage on iStock and I earning 14 usd in November 2023. Thank you!
Do you think sony a6400 is good enough for stock photography ?
Yes, of course, it is a great camera, especially for video. My brother used to have a6000 in the past, and it is was totally fine. For my taste, having a bit more megapixels would be great (I have a7iv with 33mp), and also, low light performance is much better if you have full frame camera, but I also started with Nikon d90, which only had 12mp, and low light was terrible. And a6400 is just sooooo much better than that.
Zdrobil si mi vso upanje, ko si razkril, da z stock fotografijo lahko služiš le z modeli. Ne mram ljudi in še manj maram dealti z judmi. Imam zahojeno familijo, noben mi ne bo stal za model, če pa že pa ni šans, da mi bo podpisal model release. Mam lepe fotografije nečakov kako igrajo nogomet itd, ampak ni šans, da dobim model release, ker so vsi ljudje taki, da jih je strah zlorabe fotk itd...saj veš kaj mislim? Nimam prijatlov, dobesedno nimam niti enega prijatla, ker sem rajši sam, zarad tega kakšni so ljudje dan danes po srcu..ogabne pošasti. Sem totalno broke brez službe in po tem takem bom več denarja zaslužil, če vso opremo prodam kot pa z stock fotografijo. In kaj naj zdaj? Če sem iskren mi gre na jok in sem vedno bolj prepričan, da sem bom letos ubil. Vsi govorite kako služite z stock fotografijo, noben pa ne pove resnice, da že v samme štartu rabiš tisoče € za dobro opremo, modele, rekvizite itd....ne zdi se mi fer
Stock photography is doomed by AI generated images.
Well, it will definitely change stock photography, but my opinion is it won't kill stock photography.
AI photography not real, stock photo and video still alive
Sounds like you’ve given up!
AI has in fact increased my earnings in comparison to before the AI boom.
@@WilliamTrostelPhotography interesting!
stock photography is dead
Hi there! I am a new on that! I am an amateur photographer and I am interested in stock photography. Which site do you recommend for selling my photos? I made an account on shutterstock but I learned about some recent changes on the levels and made to rethink it. Is something else that I need to know?
