Jeez!! it just goes to show, it doesnt have to be Lifestyles or girlie pictures to bring in good sales. Yesterday, late in afternoon I sold a shot of an Engineer in hard-hat walking high up on a pipeline construction, to an Insurance-Co for the above sum.
The buyers against all odds: are still out there. ( fair enough, these kind of sales dont happen all that often)
We should never give up, theres always the one that wants just that shot.

Congrats, that's amazing. Was it on a site or a direct RM negotiation?

Thanks Sean and Takestock, wishing you similar results!

You know, only a few years back this was not uncommon in the RM sector. Today though you nearly get a Stroke when hearing of it.

Way ta go,

Those are the sweet ones. But it's not just about being unique all the time or just the perfect shot. They want the world exclusive and that is where the big money is. And in a year you can sell it again to the next big company. Gotta love it... Congrats!
