I used to be really sceptical about effectivity of sets and galleries on Shutterstock. I’m not only shutterstock contributor but buyer also. Buying images I’m using search tool only. There are mountains of garbage at Shutterstock, hence finding one descent picture I take autor’s name and continue searching in his portfolio. It’s a good point to avoid stupid digging through trash heaps. There is really easy and effective way to search inside portfolio trying different keyword combinations. I never used to need any other kind of search tool. So I didn'w waste a time to create image sets in my portfolio. But returning from my winter trip I was too lazy to start working and I was doing everything instead of work. Well, I made 20 thematic sets in my portfolio. Next day I was extremally surprised. It works! It really works! Buyers gonna take not single images, but several images from the set. The sales rised immediately for 10-15%.
