Hey Maria, some of those shots would sell, I think. So you don’t want to be a stock photographer… But you shoot amazingly well. It’s your choice

The title image on your page is really well shot. It could have easily turned to rubbish, but i think you pulled it off well. You seem to have a lot of cigarettes in your shots. Is that an intentional theme? Is smoking something that you have some strong feelings about?

Its nice to see a person like Maria go so far and keep good intentions about what she do and what she want to reach… all I can say is “Great Job & keep going further, there’s so much to learn about art & photography”.. I’m a designer & illustrator but i’m so exiting and urge to success also at photography soon.. Life is Art & a professional photographer is who brings the best pieces of it.

Do you know who erik almas is? Check out his site at erikalmas.com His nudes are excellent and a prime example of someone who combines thier commercial work with their personal work.

Cate – Simply because I want to dedicate all the time in the world to artistic photography. Now I’ve tried stock, and I found out that I belong somewhere else. Which is why I’m starting up my own business within the next year.

Maria,

I do not see why you can’t sell stock and still be the photo artist you want to be. There are many facets to photography. Give them all a try. You just never know. Especially with talent like yours.

Stay in Focus,
Cate

I´m really glad that I met this talented Person last year in Denmark. And it was really a big honour to do an apprenticeship this year with Yuri Arcurs. Now I know why he´s the best selling stockphotographer in the world: he´s simply best in what he´s doing. It´s stunning to see him work. Efficency meets quality. I learned a lot and I really improved my way of doing stock photography for the future. Thx.
