Title: RM to Alamy/Corbis/Getty RF to microstock agencies (same shoot)
Post by: panicAttack on November 25, 2015, 03:27

Greetings

I have one question about my last studio shooting. I have half of photos full body shots isolated over white background and other half of portraits with complete different lighting but same model (and similar clothes)

I will submit those full body isolated over white to microstock agencies, but those portraits with "more professional" lighting have complete different "feel" and I am not sure they are microstock types of photos.

So, my question is, am I allowed to submit those portraits as RM to agencies like Alamy/Corbis/Getty? Or maybe even exclusive to Alamy.

And one more question is, what are benefits of having photos submitted as exclusive RM to Alamy? Different percentage to contributor?

Thank you!

Alamy don't like using RM and RF from the same set of photos.  I'm sure the other RM sites wont like it either.  Alamy don't pay more than 50%.

If they're called mole felt different aside from using the same model, sure.

Thanks both of you

English isn't my native, can you please explain what do you think with that? Mole is an animal, right? :D

Stupid auto correct.  "Completely different".
