Many of our photographers and artists are wondering what kind of images we at YAY want, and what kind of images our customers buy. We can’t really point to any specific trends different from the stock industry generally – a variety of images sell at YAY. But we do have some customer requests, and I would also like to show you a few random 6-7 images sold at YAY today.

Our customers have requested more images of people being active in their community – such as school, church, volunteer work, family life, neighbors, outdoors activity, sports and hobbies. We’ve also been asked for different tourist destinations, – and for a a larger variety within objects, animals and people. It is also important that you keyword your images correctly – give the animals and places correct names, both english and latin – and you can also include local names.  And try to capture online trends: Images with people surfing the Internet – and visiting pages like Twitter, Facebook, The Pirate Bay and other popular sites. You can also take variation of these images, take them with young / old models, man / female, one person, two, couple, friends, group and so on. Other good photos would be images showing the consequences of the financial crisis – such as an empty fridge, house for sale, unemployment, people living on a budget etc.
