After a few harsh refusals i decided to rethink what I post on Istockphoto. So I tried something different. Instead of actually bothering to find something nice to photograph, finding an interesting location or waiting for magic hour i went to my kitchen. Apparently if you look at the download stats on Istockphoto you’ll find that pictures of coffee cups  and bread are selling like hotcakes… well if you can’t beat them…join them…

Here’s the latest accepted image:

This unfortunately means that i’ll be getting into product photography real soon which is something i never really planned. First of all i don’t have the gear for it. Then i don’t have the space for a  studio or anything that remotely resembles one. Guess for now i’ll kill time reading the Strobist blog. They seem to have the most comprehensive set of lighting tutorials on the internet. There are also tons of DIY projects and interviews. My only concern here is how many images of coffee cups does Istockphoto need?
