Microstock Photography

Getting the whole shot in to the camera is half the fun, but a shot densely packed with objects just isn’t fun or interesting to some people. Concentrate on a certain element or tableaus within the shot. Crop to make this the entire subject of the shot. Sharpen and edge in a contrasting color, fuzzing the background or bringing up the color as needed.

Review the above image of Autumn seasonal objects arrayed on a kitchen counter. It should be evidently immediately that the objects all work from the warm Autumn palette of browns, oranges, rich dark reds and browns. Look at the background. These objects have been purposely organized against a cook texture of smooth tile and cool pink and glass inserts.
