Hi!

I am fairly new to stock Illustrations, been producing here and there over the course of 2 years and have around 300 illustrations online. One thing I never tackled with, or understand much, is Editorial.

Any Illustrator here do some Editorial images? How does it work actually. Do you pick one of your image as Editorial, and when you do so you need to stay "exclusive" with editorial with that images and only submit to 1 site, or you can still submit to multiples Stock website and keep some RF? What exactly is Editorial Illustration or Images? And the last... Is it worth it to sell as Editorial?

Thanks for your insight!

There are no specific illustrations, it was more of a general question as to what Editorial images are, and how do you choose Editorial illustrations? And most important, do you get good sales out of Editorial illustrations.

Here are a few links if it helps:

Personally, I've never heard of editorial illustrations in my five years on the micros.  Usually "editorial" refers only to photojournalism -- all that non-model released, non-property released stuff. 

Ah ok I get it, thank for the information I really appreciate. Basically Editorial would be to work without model and property releases, but for very limited subjects. So for Illustrations it doesn't really apply.

Thanks for the info really appreciate.
