Adobe Stock artist Jacob Lund on patience, pursuing your dreams, and paying it forward

To keep his work fresh and relevant, Lund looks for ideas and insights from outside the world of stock photography. He draws inspiration from great advertising, movies, and even Masterclass lessons taught by everyone from writers to directors to chefs. He met his wife Courtney in Cape Town, and now they work together at the studio he founded, Jacob Lund Photography. Their process before a stock production usually begins with the two of them bouncing around ideas for concepts, and then they begin casting.
