Hello, and Thank you for visiting. My name is Charles Wollertz, I've been a full-time traveling photographer for over 10 years. Started with micro stock photography and learned a lot from Just Doing It. From there I've been doing a lot more commercial work for different restaurants all the way from Costa Rica to northern Idaho.
Doing something, as uncomfortable as it may seem at the beginning forces you to learn new skills, practicing those skills will make you better at your craft. I am new to video, new to being in front of the camera, I am learning, expanding and growing in this path that I have chosen.
I have been inspired by so many great UA-camrs out there and I wish to inspire others, if I can motivate just one person do do what they love without fear then I have reached my goal, believe me. If I can do this, anyone can.
Thank you for visiting my page
I very much appreciate everyone that subscribes and wants to join me in this journey.

My Honest Opinions On Your Pictures. #21
Good information 👏
Thank you!
@@wollertz most welcome 🙌🌎
Great advice, thanks Charlie!! What do you think of the new R5 M2?
Thanks so much1 it sounds amazing, i hope the specs are real and that they fix the overheating issue, its the only thing I don't like about the R5, everything else is perfect, I cant imagine how they are going to make it better 🤷♂️
Good video, I agree totally, you need quantity over quality, in stock photography. Unfortunately for me 98% of mine is Improvised, now I'm doing Planned and AI to change that and seeing better results.
Absolutely! I think we were all sold the idea that Stock photography is not work, and just uploading photos from your vacations can be financially rewarding 😅. Thats why I try to keep reminding everyone that this is not the case anymore, and I don't think it ever was 🤷♂️
@@wollertz So true!
Its rare to see cougars even bears sometimes yet theyre real why cant sasquatch be real then
100%
I've been to Twin Falls, Boise, and now I think I'm going to add Couer d' Alene on my list of places to take a road trip to.
This really is a great picture, and the agent or buyer would never understand why they like it so much without the photographer explaining. I even get the sense that he still didn't quite understand what you were talking about with regards to the lines 😅 He just knew he liked it lol
Thanks so much! Theres a reason certain "rules" exist, they make for visually pleasing images, and even if you don't know or understand the rules, they will enhance a picture making it a better viewing experience. 😁
Is that house for real? Terrible design!😂
It’s actually a great home
Can't you speak without the crazy hand waving?
Nope, I’m built that way!
@@wollertz Hahaaa Thanks for the reply. You know, twenty years ago, NOBODY did the hand waving....it shows your (youngiish) age. Too much media exposure. TV news, advertisements, and social media..copying them... The media consultants said you must relate to a young, (read can't sit still) audience. So....here we are. Good luck to you!
@@Madridme3 I blame it on the 10 years I lived in New Jersey 😅. Thanks so much!
You might be on to something there!!!😂😂😂
😁
I would never have thought the plant was growing out of a window. I would have thought oh, there's a plant!
😂 same!
The lights definitely aren't on inside
It was bambis job. So yes. They were on.
@@wollertz 🤣
HI, really like your content, thanks a lot for all those tricks! I have two questions, 1.) do you have a recommendation or critics on tools like dropstock that upload at multiple times, saving time on that tedious process of uploading on each platform separately? 2.) Do you keyword your photos in darktable or lightroom first or on the different platforms? I was wondering if that might be double work, to do that for each photo when editing it e.g. and then again in the different platforms. Thanks a lot 🙂
Yes and yes. Ive been using ImStocker studio lately and it saves a lot of time, I also keyword everything in lightroom and when I export the jpgs all of the keywords are built into the metadada, but now ImStocker Vision is a new way to use AI to help keyword and it works seamlessly with studio so it keywords and uploads to all agencies via ftp. bit time saver Im Stocker Studio: store.payproglobal.com/r?u=imstocker.com&a=12400
Gold Beach: serene and peaceful Thank you for sharing
One of my favorites! 😁 Thanks for the comment
Nice photos! Good to see you learning too!
Thanks so much! I learned a lot from this shoot! 🙌🏼
The best thing is the stateline which leads out to the eastern portion of this ghetto. those people will call the police every 5 minutes. its easy to deal with attemped combative behaviour. they will network a person to the hilt. you actually dont exist, you do not have a vehicle, get a job, its somewhere else. maybe 3 minutes have i ever talked to that at all. scumbag trash chaining you to whatever they think. shes got a line in the sky, radar love. chaining you too think about it. best thing is to disappear before you get a warrant.
I shoot at about waist high so you don't show all ceiling and you get flooring in your shots
Perfect!
So he hires photographers to tell them what to do_ Save money and take the pics however you want...
Not everyone knows how to use a camera and blend hdr images or have the time to do it, everyone hires someone for a reason 🤷♂️
@@wollertz i understand that What I mean why hire a professional if are going to tell them what to do.
The idea of the video was to show the different styles from realestate for sale and short term rentals like Airbnb, also show from experience the type of photography profesional agents are looking for. Thanks for the comments!
@@wollertz Oh ok. Got it. Sounds cool. It´s always refreshing to see content of what commercial photographers do nowadays. Nice o see what colleagues work on in their field of photography. Thanks!
6:10 - in shtterstock for example they don't allow me to put photos with letters on - why is it possible for you to upload this image ?
It sure I know what you mean. I upload photos with words all the time, mostly handwritten 🤔
3:20 - maybe stupid question but if you make photo with just legs or hands of people you must have model releases or put it on the editorial , journalist section ? or you can without problems put this normally as commercial photo - like photo of objects, animals ?
If it’s just hands or feet, and you can’t recognize the person or any logos or tattoos then you can sell as commercial RF
@@wollertz thanks for information - very nice series with this game what sells and why
Thanks so much! I have to gather images for another video 😁
Very down to earth suggestions, thank you Wollertz.
They continue to work for me, I hope they work for you, best of luck and thanks for the comment!
Best picture is the one with Bambi. #teambambi
😂🤣 #teambambi
@wollertz I have avoided Getty for some time now because of their release process. My wife is often in my images. I have a single release for her on Adobe Stock and Shutterstock for her, which gets used on any new images she may appear in. Getty seems to want a new release for every single image...am I misunderstanding their requirements? They accepted a single release for a series of similar images, but once the scene changed, or the shoot date changed, they want another release signed. Any tips/tricks for working with Getty?
I’ve always made a separate MR for each photo shoot, I am using the Easy Release App and it works with gettys format
..in the end the critique wasn't bad. Thank you so much for the really good difference between the purpose. May I ask which lenses did you use for those pictures. So even if we like creativity it matters what the client wants and need.
Hi! Thanks so much, I used the canon rf 15-35 f/2.8 with the canon R5 all shot at 3 stops +/- exposure bracketing blended in lightroom as hdr And yes, this type of photography is less about the creativity and much more about the technical aspects, keeping the lines straight, show the space and find the angles to complement the space
What about pictures with Bambi?
Only in you want to sell or rent. But the price does go up!
@@wollertz 😳
Best photos 😃
Thanks 😀
Hello thanks for the video. So, if my thing is to create photo montages from things around my environment, that would be commercial??? I recently started at this and feel a bit confused. Thanks
Sort of. It all depends on the usage of the photo, how it is used determines if the license is rf or editorial, a RF commercial photo can be used as an editorial (used to share information or a particular event or place) but a photo with an editorial license can not be used as a commercial photo. Think about editorial photography as photo journalism. Documenting a point In time, you have to include that in the caption, and RF commercial photography can be everything else, or almost everything else
@@wollertz Thank you very much
Great information even I am doing nature wildlife and travell photography🙌🙌🌿
Thanks for the comment! I like all types of photography, I prefer travel and nature 😅
@@wollertz most welcome 🙌🌿
This was cool video informative as always! What lens/s did you use and settings? Would a polarizer remove the glare on the countertops? Awesome concept for this weeks video! 🙌
Hi Debbie! Thank you. I used a 15-35mm and all shot in 3 exposures with 3stops under and over for hdr. I tried with a polarizer and it didn’t really make a difference , I feel it was more of a reflection than glare, I even tried after dark and all of the lights kept reflectingc great angle but unfortunately the reflection was too much. Thanks so much for the comment!
This was great specifically the difference between AirBnB versus for-sale photos. I'm wondering if some of the glare issues would have been resolved with HDR photos?
Thanks so much! These were all HDR and I even used a polarizer. It wasn’t so much glare as it was a reflection, the only way would be to look for a different angle and shoot tighter instead of wide. The whole scene looks great but in this case 2 photos with different angles would have been better
@@wollertz Yeah, I guess I should have figured you'd use HDR. You kinda know what you're doing and I'm still learning :). Stay well and keep on keeping on.
After around 5 years on high end real estate market I must say he is fair with criticizing, good eye I agree with him in almost everything and of course good work from you Charlie, a lot material is important for picking best selection. No master bathrooms ?
Thanks Miro, yes we ended with over 100 images and I cut out a lot for the video. Just left the “important” lessons
Interesting video, beautiful photographs, beautiful house with beautiful scenic views. Thanks Charlie!!! Did you use your R5 on these photographs?
Thanks Paul, yes I used my R5 and tried to stretch the dynamic range 3 stops in either direction, next time I’ll try 5 stops I feel like I could have had more detail in the Brighter areas
I wasn't expecting that. He was brutally honest 😂. I will say, though. I believe client input is important, but at the end of the day, you're the trained professional. This house is amazing! I think you could fit our whole house in the bedroom 😂. Fun video! You guys make a great team. You should've had your channel logo on one of the TVs, missed opportunity.
It was a good experiment 😅. The house is Aweosme so anyone would think it’s easy. But with a adjustments he has the images he wanted on the listings 😁. How could I forget about branding 🤦♂️. Next time I’ll include my logo somewhere.
@@wollertz Awesome pictures. I'm still in disbelief he wanted Bambi out of the pictures. Does he not know who she is?
It would guarantee rentals, but whatever. He doesn’t know what he is missing 🤷♂️
@@wollertz 🤣
Wow awesome brother ! You are very encouraging for us amateurs !!! Keep um coming bro ! Blessings to you and your family !
Thanks so much! 🙌
'Brightfield' and 'Darkfield' lighting is used in the studio for drinks and glassware.
wrong comparison. we are not in the free social field, adobe offer a paid services for professionals, today a professional photographer can’t use adobe products just to respect the privacy of customers.
I suppose it depends on the type of photography. My restaurant clients don’t really care about other people seeing their photos 🤷♂️
Wow, I've never done Real Estate Photography, very interesting, about difference in AirBnB and real estate. Around, where I live, new AirBnB's are popping up weekly. Maybe I'll give it a try.
I’ve done it on and off, just got into the rentals. Similar but slightly different. Good bonus when you can find them 😁
These are in clouds! 😮
Big ones!
@@wollertz 😳
the chain just sort of adds another skill apart from photography.. lol very informative video.. could you tell me please what site you upload to for stock photography? or should i say which companies works out better in our favour?
Thanks so much. I have links to the agencies in the video description. Lately the best ones have been Adobe, shutterstock and Getty. Best of luck! 😁
Hi there....I am the woman in the first photo. I just found out about this photo being sent in and am embarressed. Never posed or liked that photo. (I am not a model). You are correct in knowing this is Red Rock Canyon in Nevada, one of my favorite places to visit as I live close by. I took a picture of a donkey close by that was better! LOL.
Hello! You did great, beautiful pose and great memories!
"One link at a time". Great video once again! Great explanations and examples. I get so much out of your videos every time. Hope you keep going.
One week at a time 😅. On going on 4 years and hope to keep going for as long as I can 😁 Thanks for the comment!
Just found your channel today. This is the third video in a row I've watched from you. Great info! Boiling Springs, Pennsylvania.
Thanks so much! Welcome to the channel 🙌
Es muy hermoso ese lugar!!
Una de mis ciudades favoritas
De acuerdo. Idaho Falls también es muy bonito
I'm using Corel software, maybe not the industry standard but for me its cheaper and very usable. I also use topaz software but not for stock after my warning on Shutterstock. People need to consider what they are letting companies access to and make an informed judgement call on whether it's worth the risk.
100% Great options by the way!
Nice to know that you don't need a model release of people if they are on a pubic space.
Only for editorial pourpose, to use the image commercially you will need a release
Very helpful video! The only thing I didn't understand was why you needed press credentials to shoot for an event, isn't considered an editorial photo?
That is a great question. And I’m not exactly sure, what comes to mind is agencies protecting them selves. Media passes and press pases are usually given to photo journalists to capture editorial photos and gain acccess to behind the scene situations. I’m assuming stock agencies want to keep a standard of journalism with certain events requiring these pases. Other events may be private and only allowed access to certain outlets or with special invites like you will see with Getty images, in which case you will have to prove you were invited to photograph them he event. It all comes down to legal protection 🤷♂️
Alright... but what scam are you trying to sell us?
I’m not selling anything 🤷♂️
It's not the maps that civilians are aware of that is the big concern bud
Theres always more to the story, in this case is about eliminating the competition and getting rid of a brand all together, including microphones, gimbals, power banks and anything else made by DJI 🤷♂
This is why when I go to a friends house that has Alexa, whenever they leave the room, I go to Alexa and keep saying "find me giant dildos", "Alexa find me giant blue dildos". "Alexa find me kinky nurse outfits." It makes later in the day so much more interesting when they turn on the computer and the ads pop up.
🤣😂🙌🏼
I want to live here❤❤❤❤
What the name of the stock photo website.
Theres links in the video description to the agencies I use.
