Which could be good topical pictures to take and publish to Adobe Stock?

[archiexis]

Hello there, community! My name is Arch and I'm a Venezuelan photographer living in Bogota, Colombia. I recently registered to Adobe Stock to see if I could earn some extra money by having my pictures sold, and I was wondering if anyone out here could give me a few tips and suggestions on what kind of images to look for when thinking about pictures to post in Stock.

I hope it's not too much too ask. I've been working as a freelance photographer for the past 4 years and it hasn't been the best, but I'm still quite grateful that I get to do something that I love as a job.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi @archiexis , here are a couple of links to help you get started:

• Research insights:  https://pages.adobe.com/stock/en/artisthub/learn/research-insights
• Calls for content:  https://pages.adobe.com/stock/en/artisthub/learn/calls-for-content

What I would also tell you is to do searches for the types of content you would like to photograph to see how saturated the field already is.  For example, there are millions of flower, sunset, and pet pictures already so I wouldn't bother with those topics as they won't be big sellers unless you have something very unique and special to offer.

Photos with people (and signed model releases) are better sellers than images without people.  Photos that clearly represent a concept will usually do well also.

As you are new to stock photography, here are a few other links for you to review that may be of help to you.

Best of luck to you with your submissions.
