HOW TO CREATE SHUTTERSTOCK SHOPPING PHOTO IDEAS

 Shoot for Shutterstock 

Hello Sweethearts, how are you all doing today?

Well, I am all about modeling and photoshoots. This particular shoot was very sudden and I wasn’t prepared but for me, anything that involves photoshoot, you can always count me in. The photographer wrote me and said “Tessy!, I will like you to be my model for Shutterstock shoot” and I was like, “Wow, I am actually busy at the moment but what’s the theme of the shoot? and he told me it was shopping. That alone got me excited and I decided to go on with the shoot

This was actually my first time of shooting in a supermarket. Everyone kept staring at me and I felt a little nervous but that stopped after a few shots. When you enjoy photography, modeling and very open minded, those carrying out activities publicly wouldn’t be an issue. I got lots of amazing shots which most of them cannot be posted here.

Tips for shopping shoot theme:

• Shopping bags 
• Location 
• Interact with people around you
• Go with friends if possible 
• Shoot with unlabelled items
• Create happy environment 
• Try different props
• Be prepared to meet crowd and public shooting 

You all may be wondering why I’m putting on mask. I had lots of shoots during pandemic and mask was very essential. Almost all Shutterstock photographers request for mask and it’s was a must have then. The photographers choose themes and props based on current situations and the photo themes most likely to trend and sold fast. Each seasons also have their own perfect them and Shutterstock photographers take advantage of that which is very smart.

For anyone who’s trying new ways of earning money and you’re a good photographer or model, www.Shutterstock.com will definitely be of help and there’s nothing as doing what you love and making money from it. There are other sites where you can sell photos as well and I believe those sites are versatile.
