Why Microstock Fails

E-mail Print PDF

I recently went to the iStockphoto site to see what photos they had of hunting scenes.  One photo of a double-barrel shotgun laying on a table with the action open was labeled "loaded shotgun".  Another of a shooter with a trap gun was labeled "shooting sheet".  Two upland hunters in a field with blaze orange vests was labeled "bird hunters hunting Dove, Quail, Chukar, or Pheasant".  Don't they have anyone who knows anything about hunting looking at these things?  Any editor that would use one of these photos deserves to get laughed at.
