Low Cost Interiors
Low cost microstock images deliver experience which heightens the effect of color, drama, and architecture. Interior Design maximizes the impact of any collection of furnishings and object, to yield a unique experience. Unlike the flat-pack emporiums of today, interior design used to be finishing keynote of a woman’s statement about her household.
Now the interior of a home can be a consumer statement, a museum piece, a review of the homeowner’s balance sheet, or a lucky pick and mix of color, texture, dimension, and arrangement. Capturing these arrangements can reap low cost legal image rewards.
 Think about that curious carving at your aunt’s house or that weird piece of wallpaper at Grandma”s. Why do kids remember that stuff forever? Because it stamps a place, an environment, an experience on the mind forever. One funny print on the wall, the steep vaults of an old church, the musty stairs in a creaky old home all build an effect.
But the game has changed on what the focus within the “camera” is now. Entire rigid standards of what photography is have become more flexible, allowing cultural trends, pop icons, media crossover hybrids, and video to rework the photography landscape.
Today’s contemporary photo essays have another layer embroidered over the whole. The encroaching trend toward sustainable building makes some types of architecture and building styles obsolete. That is to say, once what’s out there is gone, they aren’t making it again. So capturing rare sites is the micro photography challenge, and also to find unique perspectives which will stimulate viewers even in memory.
Some of the best architectural and geographically significant landmarks have been torn dow n in feats of modernist assumptions of architectural irrelevance. If you think this estimate is off, remember some place you’ve been to and something remarkable in the interior. Then go to Google and try to get a picture of the thing you remembered.
Although modern technology would assure us no tableau will miss being recorded for posterity and the future, archives and records get lost or destroyed all the time. Many archivists of curators know well the reality of basements filled with water, inked paper lost forever. Many online server farms and co-location facility short out and through errors are never recaptured.
Back to your search. If you need to scan more than 24 pages of Google results (images) and still don’t find it, think about that. If you don’t take that picture, who will? At some point, cataloguing these images will pay off. Images are files, fallible bits of data as insecure as the physical security of a server (or plastic box of flash drives). Build value while you can, where you can, and let the market follow you into prosperity.
Just last year the Northern California fires burnt a photographer’s home and boxes of archives never recorded online. These could be some of the images that competitive microstock photographers look tor ecord anew and sell in low cost legal vending channels online.
