Motivational Microstock

Here's how to use microstock to help you in your everyday photographic life. Use microstock to force you to shoot. Use it for more than it's worth!

Create microstock assignments - complete from beginning to end and follow through your creative process! If you are a struggling student, and have no real income and no digital camera, you can forget all about this. (Digital is after all the fuel that fires the explosion of imaging in this century and specifically microstock photography.)

This is what the organizational flow chart looks like and taken from the new book "How to Grow as a Photographer - Reinventing Your Career", by Tony Luna.

It is becoming apparent quite quickly that Specialists - that is photographers who specialize in a "look", or subject or have their own distinct style - will go much further than a generalist who attempts to be all things to all people. If they know WHAT "you" look like, then they will know WHEN they want to look you up for something in particular - be it a subject or a style.
