That should do the trick.

It works on the first site, but if I want to exclude several sites using the same formula, all the following will not be excluded. Imagine that after fotolia I want to exclude SS, IS, DT and so on so I only get the results that are not on the agencies sites.
The second site exclusion and others that follow are not recognized in the following formula, so i keep getting FL and DT site links:
-site:shutterstock.* -site:fotolia.* -site:dreamstime.*

Did you test in a normal google search but in the image tab, or did you use the Google Reverse Image Search, like we do to specifically find one of our images in use?
I think that in the regular search that works. I'm trying to filter the results of the Google Reverse Image Search.

if you want to exlude lots of domains/agencies or if you do many searches you could just write a userscript and load it to tampermonkey (chrome) or Greasemonkey (Firefox). Or just use one of the existent ones like google hit hider (http://userscripts-mirror.org/scripts/show/95205) and block all the sites you don't want to show up in the results
