hi there
this is photographer Gabrio, hello to everybody here... i have a question for photographers.... i had some of my photos, mostly reportage on fotolia for a while and just today i realized that their contract is very bad and it doesn't give us photographers good earnings, to make a long story short, i wasn't happy with the relationship with them and i closed my account there.
i have also my photos on photographers direct, but also that website didn't give so positive income in the long run, don't like that, then i found just recently http://www.alamy.com/ which seems to be better and they offer 60% for the photographer and 40% for them. more info > http://www.alamy.com/contributor/help/sell-images.asp - any of you use this???
so i would like to know in your opinion which is a good photography website / stock agency that is good for selling reportage photography. i have some good photos which i would like to sell since they're part of my archive but i am not happy when they offer me "only" 40% from the sale, which means that they do very little work and get lots of earnings, i don't care if they are archive photos which wouldn't be of much use of me, this is about making lots of cash off somebody's else work which i don't like.
bottom line, do you sell photos to stock agencies? if so which are the best ones and why? what is their share they pay you? share experiences if you want... appreciated.
regards
