fstop57 is produced by Alex Hinds and attempts to focus primarily on the business of stock photography. Which gives me some room for shifting into reasonably related topic areas now and again.

I’ve been shooting stock images long enough to remember sticking labels on slides instead of embedding meta into digital ether. Sadly that doesn’t mean I’m a wealthy photographer; stock isn’t a get rich quick game. I hope what it may mean is that I do ocassionally post something worth reading!

I currently work with numerous agencies in both the ‘traditional’ and ‘microstock’ sectors. See the ‘My stock Outlets’ dropdown under ‘About’ for details and links.

Like most stock photographers I also do assignment work and can be found at www.hd57.com
