Title: Where are your pictures being used?
Post by: Argus on October 25, 2007, 13:23
Nice, i just found out it's possible to look up who has actually bought my pics on fotolia. I never noticed that before  ::)

After some googling these are my biggest buyers: a lot of graphic design firms (webdesign and print), couple of newspapers, some religious groups for some reason and that's about all i could find out.

Did anyone else bother to google their buyers?

Yes, I do that a lot.  Check here:

Some were found by searching for my nick (some sites give credit to the photographer), others I found by browsing the buyer's website.  Some designers have links to the websites they have designed, so you can find images this way too.

Regards,
Adelaide

I've been able to find my work in use in many areas. Some I found by accident just surfing under tittles of the photos... of course, many I found thru Fotolia, which is the ONE thing I loved about FT!!  I wish all sites would advise us of our customers.

Mine get used quite regularly for religious groups as well.  I think that they have low budgets and can only afford microstock although I've found lots of other uses besides web : magazines, newspapers, flyers, catalogues etc.

Thanks for that forum link Madelaide, i somehow overlooked that thread  :)

It's allways nice to see my images in use and now that i've found out about this fotolia feature i'll be sure to check it out more often.  :)
