i ingested my photos from set into
lightroom as you can see here i went
through my normal post-production
workflow that includes minor light
corrections
and some color balancing and one recrop
i'm really happy with the results
titles and keywords play a vital role in
surfacing your work on adobe stock and
helps buyers find your work your title
should be concise 70 characters is ideal
but you can go up to 200 and it's good
to remember that titles are searchable
because they become the url be sure to
include all of the keywords from your
title in your keywording because that's
going to give you a bump in your search
relevance brand names product names and
people's names should not appear in your
title and keyword order matters and
that's why you need to put the most
relevant terms in your top 10. of course
you need to include the type of food in
your keywording and a singular noun like
pasta for this picture would be perfect
it's also really important that you
include accurate descriptions of your
food so for this picture including the
color red
might help your search relevance another
key element of your keywording
is the cooking technique so for example
this photo i would include saute a
conceptual element in the food is also
something that you can include in your
keywording for example something like
this would could be described as
decadent
another thing that's going to help your
search relevance is when you include in
the keywording the objects that are in
the photo so for example we have lemons
in the photo we have a spoon in the
photo we have a bowl in the photo we
also have a marble table top in the
photo any of those things would be
accurate keywording another best
practice is to use common words and
phrases in your keywording if it's not
in a dictionary it's probably not a good
idea when you're using nouns they should
be singular not plural so for example in
this situation we commonly call this
dish lentils but we would want to use
lentil as our keyword you want to be
descriptive not subjective when you are
entering your keywords for example even
though i believe this photo is beautiful
not an accurate keyword but red for
those tomatoes probably would be so when
you're using models in your photography
you also have to keyword for that when
you have people you need to put in their
age you need to put in maybe their
ethnicity or the location where they
came from so all of these things are
going to be searchable with our picture
of pasta and meatballs we can include
the type of pasta which would be rotini
or we can use noodle meatballs meat we
could also use food or serve or cheese
leaf herb bowl no people there's any
number of things that we can include in
here but those top 10 are really
important but expanding that out to 15
is also really great so now that we've
gone through all of the steps about what
good practices look like when it comes
to your keywording let's go into the
portal and do one for ourselves
so my images from setter here
in the contributor portal i can keyword
all of this simultaneously because
they're all going to be under the same
title i'm going to select them all
i'm going to go over here
and i'm going to begin to do my check
marks so the file types are photos
the category is food and the language is
english this is all
already auto populated and looks really
good add recognizable people or property
so this would be if i had any human
beings in here or anything that was
identifiable as proprietary so if it was
a person i would need a model release
and if it was something proprietary i
would probably need permission but i
don't have any of that so i don't need
it so i'm going to say no so that's
going to release me to do the rest of
this so now i'm going to type in my
title my title here is
rotini
with
tomato sauce
and
meatballs
it's important to get a lot of the
elements and the top keywords in your
title so now i'm going to start adding
keywords manually and we're going to go
with some of the top things
that are in this photo so it's really
just about read and write so it's pasta
rotini
which is the type of pasta meatball
and we have meat
those meatballs are made of beef
it's obviously food
cheese
and that cheese is parmesan
and there's basil present so that's our
top 10. but you know we want to go a
little bit further as we spoke about
earlier so i'm going to talk about
parsley is also in here
we're going to talk about a bowl platter
it's home cooking
and it's served
okay and there you have it
we have our keywording done the next
thing i want to do is save my work so
i'm going to save what i've done
okay we're all saved we're all keyworded
and now we're ready to submit so i'm
going to go up here to this button
and i'm going to submit my files
it's going to select all of the ones
that are there i want to submit them all
it gives me the option if i want to pull
one back and i'm going to submit
and that's it it's as simple as that
