How to Make a Photo Set on Shutterstock

mrfdn – If you already have a lot of photos on Shutterstock, it would be nice to do a more specific categorization.

My photo set on ShutterStock

This is important, if you have never done it before, you should do it now.

Why?

For example, you have 1000 stock photos on shutterstock which contain photos of landscapes, flowers, people, food. If you look at the shutterstock profile page, it will definitely look random, especially if the upload method is random.

To make it neater, we put the photos into a specific set.

There are several benefits that can be obtained after creating a set of certain categories of photos/works, such as

Photos become neater, nice to look at
Not overwhelmed when searching for a specific photo
Useful for visitors
For those who already have a lot of photos that sell well, can place them in certain sets and be named best sellers, this will definitely increase the sales and credibility of your account in the eyes of prospective shutter stock buyers.

Of the several benefits above, it is highly recommended to make a set long before your portfolio grows. Imagine if you already have more than 100,000 photos later, it must be a headache to organize them.

Notes to remember

Each shutterstock page that displays a maximum of 100 photos. Make sure you have checked or entered the photos you want into the set you choose before moving on to the next page.

You can add 1 photo to more than 1 set.

Photos that have been approved, if they are included in the set, it does not affect the front page of your portfolio. You can still sort them by the newest, oldest, or most popular photos.

Photos that have been included in the set are not “moved” but only like “tags”.

You can delete photos in a set, then move them to another set.

Sets can also be deleted. If the set is deleted / delete it will not delete the photos in your gallery. The photo is still there.
