The keywording tool on this website is now fixed.

A few problems arrived that made it harder for us to extract keywords from the popular sites. While we are fixing this we hope to find the time to adjust and develop the site even further. I use the tool myself, so we want it fixed as much as you do.

Please don’t write to me about this. We are working on it right now.

Best Yuri

Things I Recommend you Don’t Buy

1. Don’t buy at Canon 1Ds Mark lll

Don’t buy a Canon 1Ds Mark lll. Buy the new 5D instead and wait for whatever is around the corner coming from Nikon. It just so happens that I have bought my staff three of these cameras, so I guess I kind of regret that…Doh! Canon is for sure going to launch a bigger sensor camera that will top the mark III and my guess is that they will do so within the next six months. It will probably also have a slightly bigger sensor than the full-frame.

This is a street interview where I speak with Lee Torrens of Microstock Diaries about the changes in the stock photo industry and the gradual acceptance of Microstock. Warning: the quality is not so good.

This an instructional video about how to work with models on the set. The video goes through:

1. Two basic smiles: Full smile and Laughing Smile.

2. Instruct the model to freeze between shots to get sharp images.

3. Working with a second shooter.
