Need Keywording help, stock photography?


If I have a picture where there is negative space for print to go, like a pic of a person with a large blue sky, how would I key word it.

I though to use "frame" and "negative space" but I'm at a loss.

Also It sems like thee pics often get rejected, do to framing, but I know when I was a graphic artist looking for images, there were a lack of images with lots of space for print.

any suggestions?

I never keyword for negative space.

I do crop my images so they look good in the composition. They have a stronger impact. If someone needs more space I always have some frames on which I moved away to have more negative space. I would hope most creative people know to ask the photo seller if they had other images or the same frame showing more room. Most photographers I know shoot that way. The images I submit for stock have to look great first as one never knows what the end use might be.

Keywords should reflect what is in the image. If you ad to much fluff the image will show up in the wrong searches and that does not look good.

Go to http://www.MIRA.com and do a few searches. You will quickly find which ones will not bring results.

Here is what came up when I searched for negative space:

I typically use the the keyword phrase "copy space". It seems to be the wording that designers use for negative space...
