At Shutterstock.com, photographers ask us for input on what topics they should photograph to make more money. We've been writing various tools to help expose 'content gaps' in our data, that is, subjects to shoot that we believe will sell well to underserved markets. We've built text and graphical web-based interfaces to surface these content gaps to contributors. This talk will show some of our interfaces and explain some of our methodology.
