![]() I love taking airplane shots but none of my other airplane shots have done even close as well as this one, for obvious reasons.ĭownloads per Keyword: airplane ( 88.6%), travel ( 4.3%), fuselage ( 2.9%) Only 22 downloads, a disappointment in comparison – also taken at Amsterdam’s Schiphol on another occasion. A hugely versatile commercial image about a popular subject (travel). I live close to an airport in Milan but the huge fence doesn’t help to get clean shots.Įverything about it is special, the lighting, composition and unique moment. Well considering that I risked getting arrested since I was so close to the runway in a restricted part of the airport, I should be earning a lot more! With all the security paranoia (rightly or wrongly), I probably wouldn’t be able to get this shot at that airport in 2017. Also, since Rotterdam is a hub for import/export business, with Europe’s largest port, this image features heavily in business-related websites and blogs.ĭownloads per Keyword: rotterdam ( 66.7%), roof ( 3.3%), downtown ( 3.3%)īronze medal goes to this iconic shot at Amsterdam’s Schiphol Airport with 160 downloads Rotterdam has become a trendy place in Holland, rivaling Amsterdam so this image features heavily in travel blogs. I have other ones from this angle but this one sells the most. The image also has a beautiful sharpness and futuristic feel, combined with the copy space on the top left. Therefore, I haven’t seen any from this vantage point which happened to be where my office was – not bad eh. There’s loads of pics of this iconic building, inaugurated in 2013 of Rotterdam’s central rail station, but they’re usually taken at street level. In Brazil, they call it a ‘chopp’ That’s my hand by the way, extra points for me managing to hold and take the shot at the same time! □Ĥth place goes to Rotterdam, Netherlands’s Central Station (Editorial) with 146 downloads Also, everybody loves a caipirinha on the beach! I tried the shot with beer, on the opposite end of the beach (arpoador), but hasn’t been as successfulĭownloads per Keyword: caipirinha ( 51.6%), rio ( 12.9%), cocktail ( 9.7%) 15 downloads only, enough to pay for a few beers but not much more. It’s clean and screams out RIO! There’s also plenty of copy space, which is important for designers to place their Call to Action. What else is special? The background is superb with the light and the drink looks appetizing. Since, it does well as a travel photo as well as popular for blogs about cocktails. It was taken a year before the Olympics and sold regularly to blogs/articles featuring stories about Olympics. If you don’t recognise where it is, well it’s in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Without further to do, here are my top 5.ĥth place with 105 downloads – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil By the way, I use the term “selling” here loosely since it’s actually licensing.

I do submit to other Microstock agencies, as well as to Midstock, but Shutterstock are by far my biggest moneymaker.
