That is very good and concise write-up Luisa;  enjoyed reading it.

Some great art there too;  "Fearsome Strange Underworlds"  really speaks to me

Thank you Luisa,it's always a pleasure to read those who for reporting the facts honestly.

il pecorino al tartufo vende perch buono!  :D

It's true that content that you don't expect often sells more,if you see what my third best-seller on Adobe is,you wouldn't believe it!

I agree with eliminating agencies that don't perform good,as Dreamstime,which have always behaved well,but unfortunately they sell little,the only thing that DT should change is the minimum payout,because 100usd is too much,they know it but they don't do anything about it.

I still have the port on Shutterstock but I no longer upload,because it has become a waste of time like small agencies.

I became exclusive with Adobe,without an exclusivity program,after I broke up with Istock.

Sooner or later I will publish the emails received from Istock here,so perhaps many will realize what Getty/Istock actually is.

In my opinion,working with too many agencies today only results in a waste of time,because whether you want it or not,in the end they absorb your time and are just a distraction.

In my opinion,the future of microstock is with Adobe!  :)

Hi,
thank you for reading and yes, probably Adobe at the moment is the best.
Concordo anche sul pecorino al tartufo, proprio buono (anche il Prosecco)  ;D

Another wonderful article, providing concise,  well chosen observations.  and your fishing example is a direct challenge to those who, complain their images don't sell - I've mentioned several times my best-selling travel pix are those taken in cruise ship casinos.

And I began listening to the old saying when you go fishing put a worm on the hook: its the fish that must like it, not you and uploading to the agencies mostly nice but quite ordinary pictures, the kind ordinary people would like and buy.


advice everyone should digest if they want enjoy seafood.

 it destroys the argument that AI should be isolated from real art
