Finally, the 1000 images milestone

Finally, after a long journey, I managed to reach 1000 submitted images on most of my online portfolios including Dreamstime and a few other microstock sites that I regularly submit to. It has been quite a journey ever since I joined microstock. Microstock has also provided me with many opportunities to learn from my mistakes and to improve on various aspects of my photography, as you will be able to see the response of the market from your downloaded, or “undownloaded” images.
The next milestone that I have set for myself shall be 2000 submitted images.
Microstock is a numbers game so it generally means that the more images you submit, the better results you will get. But of course, I can’t possibly compare myself to the king of microstock, who has more than 25,000 images online at Dreamstime at the point of writing this blog post. Although microstock earns you “micro” earnings for each image as compared to traditional stock images, it is merely a different business model and aims to make up for the lower profit per image through selling a higher volume of images.
However, uploading a large number of mediocre images will get you nowhere either in the long run. For a start, the composition of images might not play a big part but ultimately, it is the difference between a sale and getting nothing. At the beginning of your microstock venture, you might be too preoccupied with the technical requirements of microstock such as image noise and shadows, but as you go further, pay more attention to creating images with better quality and composition. It will definitely help in the long run.

>My passion lies in landscape and nature photography, and I focus mainly on the Asiatic region. However, the main theme in my Dreamstime portfolio centres around Asian food and exotic gourmet.
My photography goal is to capture timeless landscape images that will bring inspiration to myself and people around me. Photography is an endless learning journey and I hope every click of the shutter brings me to a higher level.
