What are some in demand topics for stock photography?

Shoot what you are most familiar with at first. Myself, I find vantage points around Los Angeles Harbor area and take photos of ships, cranes, containers, trucks loading, workers working (with a telephoto), guards at the gates, inspectors going through containers. You can use various types of areas for stock photos. You can even use a traffic cop directing traffic, or people going about their jobs in a hospital, hospital equipment, patients in an MRI. The possibilities are countless. Take a minute and think about it. Don't forget your model releases if you shoot people that can be recognized.

the best thing is to stick to what you know to start with and look at other stock images of the same thing. have a look at this event.

Good luck

It's a good question and I don't have a great answer.

I understand that in the US, there's a need for images appealing to the Hispanic market.

It's an upwardly mobile minority and apparently the stock business is underserving it.

If that's true, you could query stock houses on that and other minorities to see if there's a need.

Sorry, that's all I can come up with.
