I'm in the fortunate position to have access to a lovely little model with hearing problems. So in the next years I will be able to take quite unique pictures of her using hearing aids, being tested by doctors and audiotherapists, learning sign language etc. I don't think these pictures will sell in huge quantity, but rather should be sold as RM. Do you agree?

But I'm an exclusive photographer at Dreamstime, and comfortable that way. My husband has tried to upload pictures to other agencies (not people), and DT sells better for our style of pictures than Istock (so far).

So what to do? Is it time to take the big leap into the scary world of a thousand different agencies? Do the hearing aid pictures belong in RF or RM? Are there other macrostock agencies than Alamy open to amateurs?

I'm not sure , you should first check in your contract with DT, but aren't you exclusive just for selling RF content? I know IS exclusivity works that way. Exclusive only for RF meaning you could sell RM somewhere else without problem(as long as the shots aren't similar, which would be a requirement for RM anyways).

The DT-contract says no sales through any other agent. So I'm afraid RM isn't possible. That would have been the best option.

doesn't seem to me that exclusivity at dreamstime is worth it.
