Title: 123rf.com Best Contributors
Post by: Metal Prints Perfection on August 05, 2019, 17:46
As a buyer of contributors' images on 123rf.com, it takes FOREVER to find really high quality images (although I have found thousands, I need more to download as I have a paid subscription).
Does anyone have a list of some of the best contributors and/or some great examples of really great landscape, cityscape, nature, etc (no people) photos with any corresponding item numbers? I can provide a lot of names of great contributors and item numbers in return. 123rf refuses to show any favoritism to any group of contributors....
Thanks!

Are you serious? Basically you answered yourself. Try searching on others agencies. BTW I stop uploading to this agency. Really, you need to try other agencies too. Good luck

I think the answer this customer was looking for was "no there is no way to identify specific contributors in 123RF"

To be honest I don't believe any agency offers this facillity apart from using "best selling" or "relevant"

I suppose "Metal Prints Perfection" is significant.
How much can you pay for "high quality images"?
Do you plan to resell prints after having bought images through subscription for a few cents each? will you credit the real author?

I was myself very annoyed the day I found my image on dibond prints in a shop near my living place, no crediting my name of course, and no extended licence bought. I earned a few cents for this. I just hope I am not on your "great contributors" list.
It takes FOREVER to be able to take really high quality images...

Cheap agencies like 123rf are based on self service. At these prices, you are supposed to search yourself.

If you want premium images, try other agencies.

Btw, I too have stopped contributing to 123rf.
