RE: Is The Internet Racist? Let's Build A Stock Photo Library That Actually Represents The World's People

in #steemgig7 years ago

@stellabelle I wonder if it's really deliberate racism, or if it's the way that the pictures are marked up. I've noticed that when I do a google search, and I input something like "science fiction clubs" I get a lot of results that are neither science fiction nor clubs. I think that might be the markup in the descriptions that people put up. A programmer friend of mine does SOE (Search Engine Optimization) work and he tweaks things a million times to get it right.

As to whether there are decent pictures of black people, I must assume that there are. It's just that we aren't seeing them. Also, people are using their cell phone cameras. Some cell phone cameras aren't made to take great pictures.
As for taking a great picture, I'd suggest being in natural lighting (Outdoors) because sunlight provides the best lighting for everyone. You don't need a camera, and you seem more like yourself.
I hope that this helps in some small way.

Just avoid direct sunlight, and preferably shoot when cloudy overhead skies, and/or make use of shades and reflectors. Softboxes and umbrellas are good substitute for natural light when indoors.

Wow! Now I know why photo studios are designed like that.
Would try this from now on...
