Member Photos: How To Shoot The Right Themes For Stock Photography Sites

What are stock photo buyers really looking for?
Our Breakfast Stock Club Premium Members know. I’ll share some of the photos they’ve had accepted into stock sites, in a moment…
How do they know what photos to sell as stock?
Simple. I send them an email every month telling them about a stock photo theme that sells well right now, and how to shoot it.  I tell them how to set up lights (if that’s necessary)… how to compose their shots based on other photos currently on the market… how to process their best photos… and then where to upload them.
They get to be as creative as they want with what they submit.  And when they’re done, before they upload them for review by one of the listed online stock photo agencies, I get one of the pros we often feature in this newsletter to review them.
Each of these member photos came from one of the monthly themes, and each one is now up for sale on a stock site:
