The sheer mass of available images and pricing pressures make it difficult in stock photography to sell elaborately produced images. The flood of digital photos not only creates sensory overload for viewers, but it also often obscures the signs of quality of well-made pictures: \u201cThe market has a huge problem because all market participants play in the same league, so to speak,\u201d says Roger Richter. This can be frustrating: \u201cYou produce professionally at high costs and then throw your pictures into a flood of millions of images,\u201d Roger observed. He calls it \u201cthe big black hole\u201d in which some good pictures simply sink.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/photo\/RORF01477\/portrait-of-fashionable-mature-businessman-wearing-sunglasses\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1404\" height=\"936\" data-id=\"10761\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01477.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of fashionable mature businessman wearing sunglasses\nRoyalty free image\" class=\"wp-image-10761\" title=\"Portrait of fashionable mature businessman wearing sunglasses Royalty free image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01477.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01477-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01477-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01477-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/photo\/RORF01536\/germany-duesseldorf-portrait-of-blond-businesswoman-wearing-beige-trenchcoat-talking-on-mobile-phone\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1404\" height=\"936\" data-id=\"10760\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01536.jpg\" alt=\"Germany, Duesseldorf, portrait of blond businesswoman wearing beige trenchcoat talking on mobile phone\nRoyalty free image\" class=\"wp-image-10760\" title=\"Germany, Duesseldorf, portrait of blond businesswoman wearing beige trenchcoat talking on mobile phone Royalty free image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01536.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01536-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01536-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF01536-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Westend61 \/ Roger Richter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe second big problem is that many photo agencies are unaware that they are ruining the prices if they offer the photos at giveaway prices. How are the production costs supposed to be recovered?\u201d asks Roger. He has observed that agencies often try to recoup declining sales according to the motto \u201cmass instead of class\u201d\u2014not a good perspective for professionals behind the camera who still offer high quality and have to invest accordingly in production costs. Roger gives an example from the area of \u201cpeople\u201d photography: \u201cIf I want to have three generations with grandparents, parents, and children there, and book professionals as models for parents and grandparents, I can quickly reach production costs of over 5,000 euros a day.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/photo\/RORF00980\/portrait-of-smiling-businesswoman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1404\" height=\"936\" data-id=\"10762\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00980.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of smiling businesswoman\nRoyalty free image\" class=\"wp-image-10762\" title=\"Portrait of smiling businesswoman Royalty free image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00980.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00980-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00980-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00980-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/photo\/RORF00998\/portrait-of-smiling-businessman\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1404\" height=\"936\" data-id=\"10763\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00998.jpg\" alt=\"Portrait of smiling businessman\nRoyalty free image\" class=\"wp-image-10763\" title=\"Portrait of smiling businessman Royalty free image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00998.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00998-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00998-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00998-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Westend61 \/ Roger Richter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In view of these difficult conditions, Roger Richter is glad that, along with stock photography, he has advertising photography as his economic mainstay, for which he sometimes produces pictures for campaigns or other specific purposes on behalf of well-known companies and corporations. And there is another field in which he was and is active: Roger has photographed for numerous volunteer projects in Asia, Africa, and Latin America. On these trips, he has taken, for example, pictures of the earthquake region in Kashmir, where he had travelled with Rupert Neudeck (1939-2016), the founder of the aid organization Cap Anamur, pictures of the slums in India as well as pictures documenting the work of the development aid organization Andheri-Hilfe in Bangladesh. In contrast to the cool world of stock and advertising photography at home, the experiences on these trips can be emotionally moving\u2014such as, for instance, when Roger portrayed a girl in Bangladesh who had spent her entire childhood blind but was able to see again after an eye operation. His pictures helped raise awareness for the fate of the many blind people in this country as well as raise money for eye operations that can restore eyesight for many of them. This unpaid work, with which Roger Richter supports the work of NGOs (non-governmental organizations), has a special value for him personally: \u201cAs a photographer, you get so much back because it is simply meaningful.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-3 is-cropped\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/photo\/RORF00844\/family-on-a-trip-with-daughter-holding-pinwheel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1404\" height=\"936\" data-id=\"10764\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00844.jpg\" alt=\"Family on a trip with daughter holding pinwheel\nRoyalty free image\" class=\"wp-image-10764\" title=\"Family on a trip with daughter holding pinwheel Royalty free image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00844.jpg 1404w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00844-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00844-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00844-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1404px) 100vw, 1404px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/en\/photo\/RORF00854\/girl-climbing-on-a-wall-supported-by-parents\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"936\" height=\"1404\" data-id=\"10765\"  src=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00854.jpg\" alt=\"Girl climbing on a wall supported by parents\nRoyalty free image\" class=\"wp-image-10765\" title=\"Girl climbing on a wall supported by parents Royalty free image\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00854.jpg 936w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00854-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00854-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.westend61.de\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/RORF00854-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 936px) 100vw, 936px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00a9 Westend61 \/ Roger Richter<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p1\"><span class=\"s1\">Apropos emotions: They are, of course, an important topic, not only with regard to one\u2019s own inner life, but also when it comes to attracting attention to his work.
