Title: good stock site for smartphone pics
Post by: hansenn on May 31, 2016, 06:04

Since I have a smartphone which makes pretty good pics, I am now searching for a stocksite who accepts these kind of images and also sells them.
I already subscribed at the most popular agencies, but I don't won't to 'pollute' my port there with images of a lesser quality.

I heard about snapwire, but also read about their time consuming upload process.

Hi,

The two I use are stockimo - who seem to reject just about everything I send them, and twenty20 - who seem to accept anything and everything.

With regards to stockimo; I've kind of given up on them. I submitted over 60 images I have active elsewhere, and they approved three (yes 3!!) of them. From what I've read, they don't really appreciate quality, moreover images that have been filtered to hell and back with as many mobile imaging apps as possible!

Twenty20 - 100+ active Images for two months - 1 sale = $2.

Hope this helps.

I put together a list like that last fall:

I didn't get to write a summary of my experiences so far. But in short: EyeEm; and far behind Twenty20; and even further behind Fotolia Instant (though they don't accept many of my smart phone pics). All the rest: Not worth it, especially those with "shoot on specs" ("challenges", "missions", "quests" whatever they call it).
