I was browsing around to see if I wasn't missing any good agencies to submit my portfolio to (we have a list here in Microstock but was looking for personnal experience on any agencies I wasn't submitting to).

I stumbled upon this thread:
http://www.aphotoeditor.com/2008/02/27/stock-photo-agencies/

See at the bottom of the list, we (most of us) are in the category called CRAP. Such a high view of our talents!

Yes we are (I am for sure)

LOL

Funny that Veer is listed under 'More General' when they carry a lot of the same work. Just goes to show that agencies are venerated or disdained according to historic reputation, with no attempt to research current content.

I must remember to tell everyone in future that although I have the same port everywhere, it's only truly of an acceptable standard at Veer.

Good One! Morphart also.

I thought they found my site. It's remaining a best kept secret and deserves to be. I don't even link to it myself from my home pages.

Not everything on the list is an agency.

They think iStock is so crappy, they had to list it twice?

wonder if that's written by someone rejected by SS.

Why is Alamy "good"?
doesn't Getty own Jupiter now?

I had to chuckle at Lonely Planet! They pay??

but we should say: thanks for the research, even if it's not quite up to date.

That list has been around for a few years. The date art the top is today's date and I don't see a published date anywhere on it. The file name is a give away - 2008.

I used to submit to Citizen Image before they went out of business.

Yes, they were crap.

It's listed once.

So it is.

I had no idea there was a stockphoto.com (and obviously I read it as istockphoto.com). Actually, it doesn't look like there is ... yet (or now). Good name, except too easy to mix up with IS.

Ah.. that makes a difference. Thanks for pointing that out.
