Concepts here around: sustainability, urban farming, future living, livability, organic A purely nature photographer may struggle in microstock, best to go for the midstock / niche agencies.

I don't care that they don't care.

These 4 "photographers" have must have been on the same excursion... https://www.shutterstock.com/image-photo/tigers-sunbathing-outdoors-1013143426
