Duncan is a provider of stock photography to Getty Images and iStock agencies. For example, the photo above is a detail of his most popular photograph on iStock. Namely, the Arthur Ravenel Bridge over the Cooper River, Charleston, SC.

We derive our inspiration for stock images from many different sources. Chiefly, inspiration comes from our surroundings. In particular, the people, places, events and the advertising media.   However, some of the stock photography projects we consider are in response to a client brief or other information provided by the agency. Furthermore, we do our own research into trends that we can define and to which we can contribute

For one thing, the projects we elect to work on often require lifestyle models. Likewise, we find most of our ideas are more convincing with the addition of a lifestyle model. As a result, we occasionally seek local models to work with us. By the way, a current industry trend is for a more natural look featuring”ordinary” people. Therefore, there are more opportunities now, for all ages, body types, and ethnicities.

In conclusion, if you are interested in trying out as a lifestyle model, give Duncan a call at 336-558-4547.
