Got a strange email about how they have my photos and how I can search for them.  Can't find anything on there.  Looks more like alamy than microstock.  Anyone else had an email from them?  I can remember uploading to them but I've used so many sites, there are some I forget about.

They used to be several separate smaller but reputable agencies (like World Pictures) before a merger a few years ago. If you have the B or whatever number you can just search on their site.


I fear those emails from CEO and delay for my payment is not a good sign - I fear of Getty stepping in. That is the trend these days

^^^^^Just to add - PhotoShot is a British based group that has been buying up a whole bunch of traditional style stock agencies for years now. Other collections in the group include Retna, The Travel Library, UPPA (Universal Pictorial Press), LFI (London Features International), Bruce Coleman collection etc - so if you ever worked with any of those your images will now be under the PhotoShot umbrella. Takes me back a few years seeing those names again ;) Regards, David.

I haven't used any of those.  I'll have to contact them and find how they have my images.
