posted in Is Your Photography Art? good article, congrats Ellen.
stock photography is certainly different from art . quite frankly,
my idols (ansel adams, karsh,cartier-bresson) would no doubt never have had sold anything in stock photography .
having been an artistic photographer for ages, and worked freelance to travel all across canada after i graduated from NYI in the 80's, i discovered this almost immediately when i joined this field last month.
my first site rejected 100% of my "artistic photography" and called them "snapshots" lmao . my ego was immensely deflated for 24 hours, lol.
when the "destroyed ego" dust settled (LOL) , i realise the need to separate these two distinctive fields of photography.
so today, i wear two hats... i shoot for stock one day, and the rest of the time, i shoot for myself (artistic).
it's a reality any working photographer must accept.
multimec . cheers Dreamstime team :-)
