פוטוסטוק ישראל, מאגר התמונות הישראלי, מחפש תמונות וצלמים חדשים להצטרפות למאגר.

אבל אנחנו בררנים - אנחנו מחפשים תמונות המתאימות לשימוש בפרסום

באופן כללי ניתן לחלק את שוק הצילום להרבה קטגוריות ובהרבה מימדים. אנחנו בפוטוסטוק ישראל מתעסקים בשלוש קטגוריות. אדטוריאלי, פירסום והדפסים (ועדת קישוט)

כרגע, אנחנו מרכזים את החיפוש שלנו לתמונות המתאימות לפירסום.

מהי תמונה המתאימה לפירסום - צריך להסתכל על זה מהצד של הלקוח, האם הלקוח יכול וירצה להשתמש בתמונה לפירסום המוצר או השירות שלו.

אז קודם כל יכול? מותר ואפשר להשתמש בתמונה לצורך זה רק אם מולאו כמה תנאי יסוד:

א. כל מצולם או חלק ממנו חתם על אישור שימוש בדמותו

ב. יש אישור חתום מאת בעל הנכס על כל נכס שניתן לזיהוי בתמונה

ג. ללא לוגויים וסימנים מסחריים

ד. התמונה באיכות טובה ללא רעשים וליכלוכים ובגודל ראוי

עכשיו לשאלה המורכבת יותר האם המפרסם ירצה להשתמש בתמונה?

בדר"כ התמונה מלווה מסר פירסומי כלשהו כדוגמת הצלחה, אושר, אתגר, ביטחון ועוד רבים וטובים. על מנת שישתמשו בתמונות המסר צריך להיות ברור וחזק

איך מגיעים למסר הזה? פשוט מאוד, מצלמים תמונה שזו הכוונה.

יש צלמים שמצלמים בצורה מדהימה את מה שהם רואים. עברתי, ראיתי, צלמתי

יש צלמים שבונים את התמונה משלב התיכנון דרך העיצוב ועד להעמדה והצילום.

תמונות מהסוג השני זוכות להרבה יותר הצלחה

אז אם הגעתם עד לכאן, עברתם את השלב הראשון - סבלנות והתמדה :)

אז מה אנחנו מחפשים:

אנחנו מחפשים צלמים שיש להם במאגר או שיכולים להפיק / לצלם תמונות המתאימות לפירסום

מה אנחנו מציעים:

זכויות היוצרים הן של הצלם ונשארות של הצלם - אנחנו מוכרים רשיונות שימוש בלבד

הצלמים לא משלמים לנו, אנחנו משלמים לצלמים לאחר קיזוז עמלה כך שגם לנו יש אינטרס מובהק למכור

חשיפה מירבית ללקוחות שלנו בחו"ל דרך האתר שלנו ואתרים אחרים שאנחנו עובדים איתם

יעוץ, הדרכה ותיאום ציפיות כי הרי אנחנו שותפים במכירות

אנחנו עושים את כל העבודה השחורה של הוספת כותרות, תיוג במילות מפתח, הפצה, מעקב, חיוב וגביה

דוגמאות של העבודות שלו ניתן לראות המצגת בהמשך

יש כמובן חוזה

The Republic of Armenia

2012-01-04T11:13:00.000+02:00

Armenia is the only country remaining from 3,000 year old maps of Anatolia. It became the world's first Christian country more than 1,700 years ago in 301 AD, and has a large Diaspora all over the world. As a former Soviet republic lying in the Caucasus region, straddling Asia and Europe, Armenia has an ancient and rich culture. Armenia is very easy to experience, thanks to very hospitable people.

Yardenit Baptismal on the Jordan river

2011-08-11T12:00:00.002+03:00

Yardenit ("little Jordan") is a popular Baptism site. Here, the water flows into the Jordan river, eventually flowing into the Dead Sea located more than 100KM to the south. This site is believed by some traditions to be the actual site where Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist (Matthew 3: 13 : "Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to be baptized by John").

Many Christian pilgrims stop at this site and perform baptism ceremonies, normally in small groups and accompanied by the group's pastor. It is a remarkable and charming site - and should not be missed.

The baptism of Jesus by John the Baptist is described in Matthew (3:13-17), told briefly in Mark (1:9-11), mentioned in Luke (3:21-22), and implied in John (1:29-34). In these texts John performs an important ritual : announcing that Jesus is the Son of God and the Messiah.

Another popular Baptismal on the Jordan river is at Qasr al Yahud near Jericho

Dead Sea Salt Formations

2011-07-20T10:39:00.000+03:00

As water shortage increases less and less water is allowed to flow into the Dead Sea causing the lake to shrink in size. The water evaporation leaves salt residue that Christianizes into strange and beautiful salt formations

Jerusalem Syndrome

2011-07-05T08:36:00.000+03:00

The Jerusalem syndrome is the name given to a group of mental phenomena involving the presence of either religiously themed obsessive ideas, delusions or other psychosis-like experiences, that are triggered by, or lead to, a visit to the city of Jerusalem. The best known, although not the most prevalent manifestation of the Jerusalem syndrome, is the phenomenon whereby a person who seems previously balanced and devoid of any signs of psychopathology, becomes psychotic after arriving in Jerusalem. The psychosis is characterized by an intense religious theme and typically resolves to full recovery after a few weeks, or after being removed from the area. (source: wikipedia)

Symbiosis In Nature

Giant moray eel (Gymnothorax javanicus) with a fourline cleaner wrasse (Larabicus quadrilineatus). Cleaner wrasses remove parasites from the bodies of other fish. The giant moray eel is the largest of the moray eels. It is found in the Indo-Pacific region, and reaches up to 3 metres in length. Here, only the head and front part of its elongated body is visible. Photographed in the Red Sea, Sinai, Egypt.

Giant clam (Tridacna gigas). This is the largest living bivalve mollusc, the shells of mature individuals reaching 1.5 metres in length. The giant clam can filter microscopic plants and animals from the water, but it obtains most of its food from photosynthetic symbiotic algae which live in its tissues.

Acre (Holyland) Stock Photography

2011-03-29T08:59:00.000+02:00

Acre (Also Akko, Akka, Aco) is one of the oldest continuously inhabited sites in the country and historically, was regarded as a strategic coastal link to the Levant. Acre is the holiest city of the Bahá'í Faith

The city’s fascinating historical heritage, a rare blend of East and West, authentic sights from the past, a unique meeting place of art and religion alongside the remains of various cultures – all these have made Acre one of the most important cities of the ancient world.

The walls of the city, its fortresses and citadels, its churches and mosques and the other buildings within its boundaries, tell the history of the many rulers who governed it and fought for it, who built the city and glorified it.

Acre’s most prominent sites include ruins from the Hellenistic-Roman period and buildings from the Crusader and Ottoman periods: Al Jazar Mosque, the buildings of the Order of Saint John, the subterranean Crusader city, Khan Al Omdan, the Turkish Baths (which now house the municipal museum), the Bahai Temple and more.

In Acre you will be able to see the fingerprints of many peoples and religious movements: the Canaanites, the Greeks, the Romans, the Byzantines, the Crusaders, the Mamelukes, the Turks and the British.

Acre’s colorful Oriental markets, the city walls, the museums the beaches and the sea-sports sites, Fisherman’s Port, the marina, the restaurants, the hotels and the colorful festivals that are held in Acre annually – are a few more of the city’s tourist attractions.

A visit to Acre is one-of-a-kind experience and an exciting trip to the splendid past.

During your next visit to Israel we will be happy to welcome you to an exciting visit to an old city with a young soul.

בוק שחקן

2011-02-05T12:01:00.000+02:00

מה זה בוק שחקן?

שאלה טובה, בעיקר מאיפה הביאו את המושג בוק למונח העברי

אבל ברצינות מה צריך לכלול הבוק המקצועי לשחקן

אפשר לחלק את הדרישה לשתיים

הראשונה: לשימוש מסחרי, פרסומות לדוגמה

השניה: לשימוש תאטראלי לתאטרון וקולנוע

ישנם כמובן הבדלים בין שני הגירסאות השימוש המסחרי דורש תמונות יותר "זוהרות"

glamor

קצת כמו דוגמנות אבל לא קיצוני כל כך. וגם רצוי לצרף תמונת גוף לסט

בשני הגירסאות צריך להמיג תמונות נינוחות ומחויכות שלכם. התמונות אמורות ליצג אתכם ולכן צריכות להראות כמותכם. ולכן גם צריך לעדכן את הסט מפעם לפעם.

צריך להשקיע בתמונות. תמונות לא מקצועיות רק יציגו אתכם כחובבים

כן להשתמש באיפור ושווה להשקיע עוד קצת במאפרת. לא להגזים עם האיפור עדיין המלהק צריך לזהות אתכם

או בציטוט מתוך המקורות

Casting directors use headshots to get a feel for an actor's type. The headshot should embrace your best qualities. Don’t dress or use make-up that covers your true nature; let the shot be true to you. And by all means, get new headshots if your look changes drastically and/or after a few years have passed. Misrepresenting yourself will only lead to trouble later in auditions. Remember, headshots aren't glamour shots. The look should be natural, open, and compelling. Many times, you will be judged by your headshot even before you are called in to have an audition. Let your photo speak for you and your abilities by being professional yet accessible.

http://www.sft.edu/tips/resumes-headshots-portfolios.html

ובקצרה, המלהקים ישפטו אתכם על פי ההדשוט שלכם לפני הזמנה לאודישין אפשרו לתמונה לדבר בשמכם ולהציג מקצוען אך נגיש

צילום בוקים לשחקנים ושחקניות

2011-01-20T20:51:00.001+02:00

תמונת פורטרט טובה היא כרטיס הכניסה שלכם לסוכניות ולאודשינים. תמונה טובה היא לא רק תמונה יפה אלא תמונה המציגה אתכם במיטבכם: נינוחים, רגועים, בעלי ביטחון ויכולים למלא את התפקיד שעל הפרק

תמונה טובה מצולמת בזמן שאתם באמת נינוחים ורגועים. שלב זה קורה רק לאחר זמן על הסט. האינטראקציה עם הצלם היא קריטית להוציא מכם את העוצמה הנדרשת. כאשר העינים, שרירי הפנים וההבעה הם השפה היחידה

ההבדל בין הצלמים השונים הוא רק ביכולת של הצלם לעבוד איתכם ולהוביל אתכם לנקודה בה אתם משחקים עם המצלמה ולא רק לפני המצלמה. זו הנקודה שבה התמונה המנצחת מתרחשת

הצלם אילן רוזן וצוותו הכוללים מאפרת, סטיליסטית וגרפיקאי, ביחד איתכם יוציאו את התמונה המנצחת אותה התמונה שתגרום למלהקים לרצות להזמין אותכם לאודישנים

אנו מציעים מספר חבילות

חבילה של שלוש שעות - החבילה הממומלצת ביותר. מאפשרת אינטראקציה מלאה בין השחקן והצלם ובטחון מלא בהגעה לתוצאה מחיר החבילה הוא 735 ש"ח בתוספת מ"עמ ושמונה תמונות מעובדות לפי בחירת המצולם. ניתן להזמין מאפרת דרכנו בתוספת מחיר או להביא מהבית

חבילה של שעתיים - מומלץ לבעלי נסיון בצילום סטילס או לשחקנים שצריכים רק תמונה אחת או שתיים ספציפיות להשלמת תיק עבודות קיים מחיר החבילה הוא 560 ש"ח בתוספת מע"מ וחמשתמונות מעובדות לפי בחירת המצולם. ניתן להזמין מאפרת דרכנו בתוספת מחיר או להביא מהבית

החבילה הזולה - יום צילום מרוכז למספר משתתפים הכולל מאפרת וסטייליסטית במשך כל יום הצילומים. מחיר החבילה הוא 650 ש"ח בתוספת מ"עמ ושמונה תמונות מעובדות לפי בחירת המצולם.מומלץ לסטודנטים ושחקנים שתקצבם מוגבל אבל יכולים להקדיש יום שלם לצילום איכותי

תנאי תשלום

שליש בעת הרישום ותשלום שני ביום הצילומים. ניתן לשלם גם בצ'ק דחוי

This wild fire is far from over but at some parts the fire has burnt out. Kibbutz Beit Oren was burnt to the ground. Here is a picture from today December 4th of what is left from the cemetry

I am also very please to announce that ALL the animals in the Hai-Bar are safe That is because they learnt the lesson from the last fire. On the other hand, our useless government, politicians and especially our Minister of Interior (Eli Yishai) who is officially in charge of the Fire Services, are busy blaming each other and passing responsibility down the chain. Even the Palestinians have newer equipment than Israel - This is oin the head of the head of the Minister of Interior

Sewage and waste treatment

2010-08-08T08:12:00.004+03:00

We all know our daily routine. We go to the toilet and we through out the garbage. These artifacts very quickly disappear from our eyes and our mind. But what does happen to the junk and body extracts of millions of people?

In some countries they are taken to collection and treatment centres purified and reused this action is called waste management

Solid or household waste treatment is usually dumped in landfills

One usage of household waste is the manufacture of compost as a fertilizer

Water treatment and purification before supplying to the household pipes is also a major concern

And after supplying the water somebody has to remove the waste and purify it so there are sewerage treatment plants

Another option for water treatment is the use of plants and microorganisms in constructed wetlands

To a cleaner and healthier world

Tel Aviv the "White City" Bauhaus Architecture

2010-08-02T16:10:00.005+03:00

In 2005 UNESCO declared Tel Aviv an International Heritage Site. The reason being the abundance of buildings built in the 1920's and 1930's in the Bauhaus style (for more details see wikipedia)
Many examples of this architectural style exist in Tel Aviv Mainly in Rothschild Boulevard and surrounding streets

and a short slideshow for your enjoyment

Jerusalem the old City

2010-06-10T14:59:00.004+03:00

Jerusalem, the Old City is divided into 4 quarters
The Jewish Quarter
The Christian Quarter
The Muslim Quarter
And the Armenian Quarter

which stands out as odd? Yes, you guessed right How did the Armenians come to have such a stake in the Holy City

The main landmark is the Armenian Heritage museum (above picture) which has large section regarding the Turkish Massacre of the Armenian people.
The Turks and Turkey as a whole, even today, deny it was a systematic genocide - To help you decide here is a short quote from wikipedia:
The Armenian Genocide – also known as the Armenian Holocaust, the Armenian Massacres and, by Armenians, as the Great Crime refers to the deliberate and systematic destruction (genocide) of the Armenian population of the Turkish Ottoman Empire during and just after World War I.
It was implemented through wholesale massacres and deportations, with the deportations consisting of forced marches under conditions designed to lead to the death of the deportees. The total number of resulting Armenian deaths is generally held to have been between one and one and a half million.

And let's not forget the more modern Cyprus wars

Keyword Tutorisal part 2

2010-03-16T15:29:00.002+02:00

This is part two of my keyword tutorial
In Part 1 (below) I gave the following example as homework

My method, and it may not be the only method or the best method, but it works for us, is to start with caption
Once the caption is in place the keywords usually materialize
So let's talk about the caption
there are conventions not quite so imposed by agents anymore.
For location I use country, city - some use continent, country, city
Not always is continent relevant for one thing everybody knows that Jordan is in Asia, and those that don't couldn't care less. Second if a search for Asia returns a picture of an Arabian Camel not sure that this is an image the buyer had in mind. for images of Thailand I would put Asia

Back on topic. We have a man jogging on a beach Age is important and should be taken from the model release. So we have
Man in his 30s jogs on beach. All in present tense
This is the minimum requirement, now let's think of what else is required. This was shot in Tel Aviv, so should we have Israel, Tel Aviv, Man in his 30s jogs on beach. ?
To tell you the truth, I am not sure, the same image could have been shot anywhere it is very generic. Would a buyer looking for an image of the Tel Aviv beach use this image? could a buyer looking for images from Italy use this image? On the other hand an editorial buyer may want to know this information. So yes probably worth the extra 2 words to put it in.

Next time we will go over the required keywords

Keep your comments and suggestions coming

Stock images Keywording tutorial

2010-02-25T18:16:00.005+02:00

Well it finally started raining here after quite a long heat wave

Back on topic: Lets talk about stock photography keywords
First of all WHY? simple, if your image has no keywords buyers will have a hard time finding and licensing your image

Three IPTC fields are important to buyers, Title caption and keywords
Different stock photography sites have different names and sometimes different usages for these fields.

Title: A small description of the image can appear bellow the thumb or on the pop-up screen that is very popular now - usually 20 - 40 characters depending on the site

Description: A long(er) description can and should contain as much information as you think can be useful to the buyer Has to answer the 5 WH questions if they are relevant

When - Date, Season, time of day
Where - Geographic location
Why
What - is happening
WHO - is in the the picture
How - special technique, low / high view. facing camera etc

Please note, not all of these questions are relevant to all of the images. For example, a studio shot of still life does not require a geographical location

Keywords: This is where the whole effort becomes art
Before we can talk about keywords we have to consider where the image will be placed. Each site has a different set up and uses different parameters for their search engine so you must know your sites capabilities and limitations and keyword accordingly
Stemming - stemming is the search engines capability to take the search term, find the root of the word and bring back results of all words that stem from the root. Example: will a search for running return images with run, runner, runners. Will a search for ox return images with the keyword oxen and even more important will oxen return ox. will Israel Images have the same results as Israeli Images
Weighting - many sites have some weighting system in place. Images with the search term in a higher ranked position will placed higher in the search results
Synonyms - does the search engine know that lift and elevator are the same?
Limiting - some sites limit the number of keywords allowed or by word count or character count

If, like us at PhotoStock-Israel, you keyword for more than one web site you have a lot of thinking to do before even looking at an image

Like everything in life there are two extremes: the minimum approach and the maximum approach
The minimum approach adds as few images as possible
The maximum approach adds any and every relevant keyword - very often over done
Advantages of the minimum approach - less work more images keyworded in a time frame. Less false returns
Advantages of the maximum approach - your images will be presented in more searches but if the specific image does not meet the buyers needs this is a bad result for you and the site
As always, there is the middle ground
With each word you want to add ask yourself:

Could a buyer searching with this word use this image?
Would you be left out of relevant searches if you do NOT use this word

Look at the following example of a table set for a meal will a buyer use it for a table - probably not but table is important for searches like "set table" so yes I would leave it in

Example 2

What keywords would you place here? in parentheses depending on stemming capabilities
run, (running, runner.....)
jog, (jogging, .....)
sport
action
beach
sea / ocean
man / male
young
vacation / holiday ? (I'm not sure)
seaside, beach, seashore,
baseball cap - only if you feel a buyer looking for an image of a cap would or could use this image
I'm leaving the rest for the student

An insight into regional cuisine

2010-02-04T12:46:00.006+02:00

We at PhotoStock-Israel have identified food stock images as a possible niche with growth potential. Our original emphasis was on Jewish food photographs, Mideastern foods and local Israeli, Palestinian and Arab foods. But we also have in our archive general food images, Italian - Pasta and Pizza making baking and eating, Japanese - various types of Sushi, soups and servings, Indian and Western

But this is not the reason of this post, I wanted to tell you about a personal experience I had while shooting this lovely old grandmother preparing Kibbeh (from wiki: a Levantine Arab dish made of bulgur and chopped meat. The best-known variety is a torpedo-shaped fried croquette stuffed with minced beef or lamb.)

She complained about the labour intensive preparation of Aleppo and middle eastern foods It made me think Some cuisines are labour intensive while other are labour free - Goulash comes to mind

Just throw the ingredients into a pot and walk away. Her husband had the answer - Mideastern women where expected to stay at home (worse, they were and are sometimes forbidden from going out) and they had to find a way to entertain themselves while rural European peasants were expected to help in the field

Request for Israeli Palestinian cooperation images

2010-02-02T12:13:00.005+02:00

A customer contacted me last week with a request for images of Israeli and Palestinian cooperation.
My first thought was no problem I have a couple in our archive

The client wanted more, again, no problem I will send out a request to our contributing photographers.
Silence. Picked up the phone to a few photographers I know who shoot the Israeli Palestinian conflict for a living. The answer I got from all was "strange, but all I have is the bad side of our mutual life"
Strange and sad indeed
Eventually I received some images from Dafna Tal (thank you Dafna)

So there is still hope for our region

Stock Photographs of The Dead Sea

2009-11-20T15:13:00.006+02:00

The Dead Sea is a salt lake Its surface and shores are 422 metres (1,385 ft) below sea level, the lowest elevation on the Earth's surface on dry land. The Dead Sea is 378 m (1,240 ft) deep, It is also one of the world's saltiest bodies of water, with 33.7% salinity. It is 8.6 times as salty as the ocean. This salinity makes for a harsh environment where animals cannot flourish, hence its name. The Dead Sea is 67 kilometres (42 mi) long and 18 kilometres (11 mi) wide at its widest point. It lies in the Jordan Rift Valley, and its main tributary is the Jordan River.

The Dead Sea has attracted visitors from around the Mediterranean basin for thousands of years. Biblically, it was a place of refuge for King David. It was one of the world's first health resorts (for Herod the Great), and it has been the supplier of a wide variety of products, from balms for Egyptian mummification to potash for fertilizers. People also use the salt and the minerals from the Dead Sea to create cosmetics and herbal sachets.

In recent decades, the Dead Sea has been rapidly shrinking because of diversion of incoming water from the Jordan River to the north. The southern end is fed by a canal maintained by the Dead Sea Works, a company that converts the sea's raw materials. From a depression of 395 m (1,296 ft) below sea level in 1970 it fell 22 m (72 ft) to 418 m (1,371 ft) below sea level in 2006, reaching a drop rate of 1 m (3 ft) per year. Although the Dead Sea may never entirely disappear, because evaporation slows down as surface area decreases and salinity increases, it is feared that the Sea's characteristics may substantially change.

The Dead Sea level drop has been followed by a groundwater level drop, causing brines that used to occupy underground layers near the shoreline to be flushed out by freshwater. This is believed to be the cause of the recent appearance of large sinkholes along the western shore — incoming freshwater dissolves salt layers, rapidly creating subsurface cavities that subsequently collapse to form these sinkholes.

Eilat, Israel stock photography

2009-11-19T12:30:00.005+02:00

Winter is here so I think it is a good time to talk about Eilat with a selection of our Eilat stock photographs from our archives at www.PhotoStock-Israel.com

Eilat is Israel 's southernmost city, a busy port as well as a popular resort, located at the northern tip of the Red Sea, on the Gulf of Eilat. The city is part of the Southern Negev Desert, at the southern end of the Arava. The city is adjacent to the Egyptian village of Taba to the south, the Jordanian port city of Aqaba to the east, and within sight of Saudi Arabia to the south-east, across the gulf.

Eilat's arid desert climate is moderated by proximity to a warm sea. Temperatures often exceed 40 °C (104 °F) in summer, and 18 °C (64 °F) in winter, while water temperatures range between 20 and 26 °C (68 and 79 °F). The city's beaches, nightlife and desert landscapes make it a popular destination for domestic and international tourism.

Eilat is well known for it's underwater marine life

Stock photography of Winter

2009-10-29T10:11:00.005+02:00

Hi All

First of all thank you all for your emails and comments much appreciated
Secondly, I was planning a post about copyright abuse but as it is raining today I changed the topic to be winter and rain stock photography

You may not be aware of the fact but Israel isn't very rich in water (a large portion is desert). For the past 5 years our annual average rainfall was below average bringing on droughts and water rationing - the rationing by a levy on the price of water is imposed on households only. Farmers can still waste as much water as they want and pay very little - much less than the price paid by households. To be honest some farmers use very hi-tech efficient irrigation methods such as drip irrigation

The most spectacular result are desert flash floods

Some conceptional drought images

The dreaded Dead Sea Sink Holes

And now to some positive images of rain

Wishing us all a rainy winter
All The Best

Stock Photography and keywording

2009-10-25T13:04:00.007+02:00

By far the most challenging activity a stock photographer and especially a small stock agency has is the task of captioning and keywording images
Captioning is quite a lot of fun

We sit with various resources; books, dictionaries, on line resources and research each topic. The fun part is learning. We try to answer the relevant W questions in this part

Keywords on the other hand is more of an art than a task. When is enough enough?
Some keywording tips:

Remember to use both American and UK spelling - Harbour / Harbor
Remember to add words from American and UK English Trunk and boot spring to mind
Plurals are needed at some outlets others do this automatically
Various forms of the verbs used such as: run running
Don't get carried away some words are more commonly is other meanings
Spell check. This is probably the most important tip. I have seen way too many images ith incorrect spelling including images I got back from a keywording company - Never used that company again

Look at the following image carefully and tell me if you would order the dish

Summary: We don't use any bells and whistles software we use our brain. In one word THINK And we try to think as a buyer / researcher may think. For each relevant keyword we ask ourselves: Would this image be used for to represent that word or phrase. If there is a chair in the background would this be a good keyword to use? Probably not as the image will never be licensed for it's chair quality. That's the easy example, It becomes much more difficult with concept keywords

so here is the image to lead you down the right path

Hope this helps you all
