Title: $0,8 "Premium" sale at Cavan Images
Post by: aitor on September 13, 2019, 02:30
Hello,

I wanted to publish my first premium sale in Cavan Images in case it helps prevent someone from wasting time at this agency.

After uploading a few images, I did not like how they worked and asked to leave. I have been told that I cannot until after 2 years. So they are going to keep the "premium" sales of my photos because they probably won't reach the minimum to charge.

Anyway, I'll be glad when they close.

Yes, sorry, I also was excited about the "premium" idea.

So, do you think it is a Cavan issue or a market issue? How are other premium agencies doing?

Cavan says it's because Getty pays that for premium content. Cavan will have my images hijacked for 2 years or until my claim to the authorities is processed. I do not know the cause of the problem but it is the photographers who suffer it is the reality.

and? you can do nothing. stock photography is dead. years after years itutaion is collapsing soon stock site will offer photos for cent like istocl, and video for 50 cent.
is full of images out there...unsplah pixabay give million images of good quality for free...demand is collapsing and offer is skyrocketing...is normal economic demand and offer.
persoanlly i have moved all my income to assign,int ea and private shooting. stock is for paying taxes only and some gear. ssdon't sell nothing of new content, so i'm stucked to the same income month after month, stock only one who increase sales but their royalty are ridiculous., fotolia sold many images for 7,5 dollar and 3,3 every month, now mostly 0,36 cent, canvas dead, dreamstime dead...i had hope with cavan to upload high quality images but as i red this stopped immedialty...i'm in westend 61 now so i have hope....unfortunatley only stocksy not accepted me and this was the only bay i would have given my best work. but again how much will stocksy grow and keep that sales price scheme? only best producer with super high quality work can survive,

hijacked your images? - take legal action!

Quit whining if you did not read the terms of the contract you willingly agreed to. Or did Cavan force you to agree under duress?

Finally I have deleted all the images and the account, after having to threaten them. My recommendation is that you do not upload more images since they will remain with the rights of the same for 2 years.
