But I get it. It's the emotional attachment we in our culture (Who are "we" anyway?) to dogs. Another view would be if the cat vs. dog sales hold up over different countries. So if all of you are going to switch to dog photos because of this... it's time for me to switch to cats to cover the "long tail" of the market <heh>.

While I would have expected the 1x1 sales to be lower or lowest, I did not expect to see the horizontal (landscape) so far out in front of the vertical (portrait). The explanation of web vs. print helped resolve that in my mind; thanks. I doubt many agencies would accept a 1x1 version of the same image being submitted in other aspect ratios. So is NOT shooting in multiple orientations on Ellen's list of what we do wrong? ;-) Thu, 20 May 2010 18:14:52 +0000 http://blog.lookstat.com/2009/10/25/microstock-rpi-image-formats-and-why-its-not-as-cool-as-you-might-think-to-be-square/#IDComment76404629 http://blog.lookstat.com/2010/05/05/microstock-photography-trends-active-seniors-what-theyre-doing-in-the-photos/#IDComment73020603 Whoa! What an eye-opener. There's a lot of good data here, and it creates some suggestions about how I should be researching markets. (and this post is NICE AND SHORT).

I support the conclusion; shoot both. And maybe the additional directive is that a "looking away" version leaves room for ad copy. You're doing that anyway, right? ;-) Thu, 22 Apr 2010 21:54:38 +0000 http://blog.lookstat.com/2010/04/22/looking-at-or-away-from-the-camera-microstock-stats-from-active-seniors-analysis/#IDComment69823030
