Optimizing photos for search engines gives you another chance to gain exposure – Getting your site ranked in Search Engines is awesome and good for any photographer’s business, but getting ranked for your photos is another way to get yourself out there. You may have even hired an SEO Company to help you optimize your site.
Well have you ever thought about optimizing your photos for search?
Image optimization can be a huge source of traffic! Professional Photographers listen up; having good, clear, medium-sized photos of yours getting indexed in the Image Searches of Google, Yahoo, and Bing is a good move for getting more clients or sales. Here are a few tips for doing just that.
- Save AS! Save AS! Save AS! When you’re saving your photo inside Photoshop don’t ever “save for web”. Why? Cause it strips meta data. So useing “Save As” in Photoshop is the first step.
- Meta-data: JPGs have the ability to store meta-data that is keywords, description, and the rest of the EXIF meta data from your camera.
- When Saving (save as), your file name needs to be descriptive with keywords that you’re looking to get indexed for in the image search of the major search engines.

Aloha Photograviewers! I’m going to share a photo with you that I took in early 2007 for the Harper’s BAZAAR/Canon Fashion Photography Award.
I took my friend and model, Margot, down to Luna Park in Sydney with a collection of old outfits, and set up the shots to look like photographs one would see in Harper’s BAZAAR. I did this by previously browsing through the magazine and noting the way the models are positioned, as well as the attention to detail in the foreground and background of the photographs.

Could some one please give me a little bit more in sight on getting on to Flickr’s Explore list? Continue reading »
