A photo history of prom; and how to capture summer music festivals in photos

Plus, why I'm excited we didn't win   IMAGES    FOOTAGE    MUSIC    BLOG       Wednesday, May 11, 2022   "You can't write if you can't relate"   Click here to subscribe to this newsletter >   This year, the Shutterstock content marketing team has been nominated for a couple of prestigious awards for our work and today, I learned that we did NOT win one of them. I'm sure the competition was stiff and it's an honor to be a finalist and blah blah blah but of course I'm disappointed. That said, I'm considering it an opportunity to live my values: If you believe in celebrating failure (not that this is a failure, just a disappointment), then celebrate it! So: Here's why I'm psyched. 1. We were nominated! We swing for the fences with every story, and it's awesome to connect with the ball enough to get recognized for sustained, repeated good work. 2. We applied! It's true that you miss 100 percent of the shots you don't take. Take your shots -- you'll get there. 3. It's a chance to show my incredible team what amazing work they're capable of -- and to encourage them to push even harder going forward. Cheers! Here's to honorable mention!
