Hi Matt; A great topic would be how Adobe Stock will be the front runner of royalty increases to make the industry sustainable for the very people who produce the content that agencies get extremely wealthy from.

Stockmaan · « **Reply #2 on:** April 16, 2019, 11:56 »

Cool, tnx for sharing Mat!

Forget setting up an exclusive or a dodgy all you can eat subscription library.

Adobe should really shake up the industry and increase contributor royalties.

That would give the Pond5 Exclusive and the Shutterstock $1.50 sales a serious kick in the ass and show everyone (buyers included) just how serious Adobe is at creating a great library.

ooooh, for once of these things actually aligns with an Australian timezone (east coast at least). have registered, thanks Mat.

Would you quit uploading to Shutterstock if they raised royalties?

Very interesting, thanks Mat

also time is good in Europe (late night)

cdee · « **Reply #7 on:** April 17, 2019, 13:58 »

Will you be recording it for those unable to make that time? Hope so!

Matt, I love your night music concert photography. Could you tell me the gear you use ? Camera/fast lens? Thanks, Oscar Williams. I was asked to photograph a night music concert. Should I rent a 70--200 F2.8 or 1.4?

wordplanet · « **Reply #10 on:** April 18, 2019, 23:07 »

👍🏻 Looking forward to it Mat.

Taking content offline, hope was a joke.
It will show a bad tactic.
Errors and mistakes do happen.
You might make a mistake or give a wrong answer.
So what? You can clarify it in second time.
Again, i will get it as a joking comment!

marthamarks · « **Reply #14 on:** April 29, 2019, 23:19 »

I just signed up and hope I understand how to get in.

Thanks, Mat, for doing this!

marthamarks · « **Reply #16 on:** April 30, 2019, 18:17 »

I enjoyed the live session, Mat, and want to commend you for doing it… and doing it so well.

Thank you!

I had to bow out around 5:30, but great job, Mat! Very informative. The explanation about sensei and keywords was helpful. I have some images to upload, am anxious to try it.

gillian vann · « **Reply #18 on:** April 30, 2019, 20:01 »

i actually missed it even though I was up, but have watched the video recording, nice job. cheers.

avr001 · « **Reply #19 on:** May 01, 2019, 15:17 »

Just watched. Great webinar!

swisschocolate · « **Reply #20 on:** May 01, 2019, 16:46 »

Mat, thank you for the webinar! Looking forward to the next

MatHayward · « **Reply #21 on:** May 01, 2019, 17:40 »

Thanks for the feedback everyone, and for watching. I appreciate it!

Artist · « **Reply #22 on:** May 01, 2019, 18:44 »

Hi, when can we get to see the recording?

Stockmaan · « **Reply #23 on:** May 02, 2019, 02:27 »

Great work Mat! It was very informative and interesting.

Justanotherphotographer · « **Reply #25 on:** May 03, 2019, 05:59 »

Hi Mat,

Great webinar.

The question regarding copyright reminded me. I am about to send you a PM re. some particularly egregious infringement that has been going on on Fotolia and carried over to Adobe. I am hoping that the new ownership takes this seriously. It is a top selling person who has probably made tens of thousands off someone else's work given their placement in some of the most popular search results for years. Be interesting to see if this is taken seriously.

Thanks Mat,
I just watched the replay and got some great tips! Is there someplace where we can sign up to be notified of in advance of webinars? I can't find a place to subscribe to such notification on the contributor site.

Also I was wondering how we might lobby for a change to the witness signature requirement on releases. Getty/iStock & Pond5 don't have this requirement and Fotolia didn't. I recently left Getty and have thousands of images I want to submit to AS, but b/c many of the releases don't have witness signature I can't upload them to AS. Seems like a competitive disadvantage for AS to have this requirement. Really can't imagine that a release dispute will result in dragging in a witness to testify.

Thanks in advance for help on these 2 Qs!

Thanks ML, you should be able to "follow" me on Crowdcast which I believe will then provide you with updates on new webinars: https://www.crowdcast.io/mhayward2909 [nofollow]

We have a few planned and once I get the dates locked in I will be sure to post here in MSG also. Regarding the witness requirement on releases, yes I will bring this up again with our legal team.

Best regards,

Mat Hayward

Great! I just followed you on Crowdcast. I think the MR issue is very significant for AS as it discourages folks with content from other agencies from joining. Anything that makes it more difficult for contributors and their collaborators is a disincentive. Plus, if AS were willing to match the Getty/iStock policy, it would give them an advantage over SS who still require witness for all releases. Finally, in addition to my (former) Getty collection, I often photograph people solo and sometimes in remote places, where there is no ready witness, so the need to have one can be a significant hurdle. I hope the decision-makers at AS are fully evaluating the cost vs. benefit of this requirement. I rest my case ;-).

You should start a new thread on this. It’s important but might not get seen when it’s off-topic in the webinar thread. I am interested in the answer.

So far no reply from Matt to my PM. I suspect the answer will be no answer or action. This particular person has been at it for years but is a little craftier than the average so it would take a bit of (minimal) investigation by the agency.

I'm sorry but I cannot provide support via PM through outside forums. Please submit a ticket via the Adobe Stock Contributor Portal through the contact us link at the bottom of the page. You can put my name in the subject so it is definitely assigned to me.

Thanks,

Mat

Yeah, it's not my work being infringed in this case so you wont be "supporting" me. With the PM I sent you know as much as I do. I guess the only difference is it has nothing to do with me while it is on your site. What you do with the information is now up to you/ Adobe.
