Greening Microstock
Green living and sustainable design for homes and businesses are a hot topic for blogs, magazines, articles and more. Green plants, green gardens, sustainable living tool and alternative energy sources make outstanding microstock material. Small sizes subjects and edgy compositions can make salable material. Green photography may move some green into your bank account!
Newsletters, tip sheets, and flyers need art. Microstock images can transform into dot to dot activities and symbols for logos and green websites. Small images help a lot. Green websites and green blogs are coming into style and many websites are shopping portals too. The images and enhanced themes will help sell the green wares, green products and promote the sustainability message.
Some of the subject matter for green photography may seem strange. Lackluster image of treatment plants or the rectangular brushed steel of water conduits may bring big dollars. Lots of domainers are looking to cash in on their green domain name investments, at a time when surplus stimulus funding is bringing alternate energy development into focus.
Images that introduce gardens, green home design, sustainable living products, or problems attributed to environmental hazards make arresting visual images. More and more green organizations and green industries are starting up every day. When the websites go up and book jackets get designed, a ready array of cover art choices, logos, pictures and illustrative images can be valuable.
Lots of topics for green writing may require unusual shots of grass, dry spots, soil erosion, seeds, pollution, rust, corrosion, algae, and other weird and not so topical photographic subject matter. Green subject matter for microstock could be simple angle shots of recycling containers or bins for trash. Clean resolution subject matter and focused foregrounds and clean backgrounds should do the trick.
Green websites may feature topical text about landfills, garbage removal, water purification, packaging, or sustainable design. Photos that can work with these text topics will have keywords that match. Interior, re-use, wood, bamboo, and sustainable would be the right ways to keyword index these microstock images for the green image market.
