By Brada - 6 min read

Photo editor Brada shares her top pick of photos that sold on EyeEm Market this month

We love to see which images sell. For one, we get to celebrate with the photographers who’ve sold – but we also get to answer the question that comes up time and time again: What kind of shots are buyers actually buying? As it turns out, the photos that sell are by photographers just like you and I. Photos of everyday life sell – and this collection of bestsellers are proof!

Congratulations to the photographers who sold one – or more – photos this month! Scroll down for my top pick of ones that sold and find a larger collection of this month’s top-sellers here. Then add photos to EyeEm Market to start selling yourself!

Sustainability

In this ever-changing world, highlighting the vulnerability of mother earth is of increasing importance to so many brands and publications. So it’s no surprise that shots that ask us how we should be protecting the world sold well this month.

Party

Happiness sells, there’s no denying it! Images of individuals and groups celebrating sold like hotcakes this month – and it’s no wonder. Happy moments like the ones below will light up any editorial piece or creative campaign.

See more photos just like these in the Party image collection!

Education

Pictures of books and education communicate many things. The importance of knowledge and studying, for example, as well as that nostalgic feeling of re-reading your favorite book. Not to mention that moment of great relief on graduation day, as Zida captured perfectly!

The Workplace

Photos that portrayed various kinds of business in new ways were incredibly popular with buyers this month. Especially those that offer personal perspectives on specialist trades seem to be in high demand.

Like these shots? There are plenty more just like them in the Business image collection.

Imaginative

A stand-out trend this month was photos that demonstrated unique ways of interpreting the world. Those that really showed the photographer’s point of view and demonstrated a cinematic, artistic approach sold especially well – just like the ones below!
