Hi all,

as I wrote in another post, I have submit some of my pictures to Robert Harding.
I must admit it was just test: I have read that they are very selective, so I tried to see if they accept my pictures.
Surprisingly, they accept all the 10 pictures of the first submission, but for me it could be a "problem".
Reading around, I understand it could be very difficult to sell pictures on Robert Harding, so I prefer to continue with microstock (Shutterstock ecc.). Since Robert Harding required exclusivity, I need to delete these 10 picture submitted (and accepted), but it seems not possibile. Unlike Shutterstock or other microstock agencies, I didn't found a sort of "image manager", where I can for example delete pictures of modify title, keyword etc. There is a screen where I can see my submission and images accepted, but I can't edit them.
Could someone help me?

Thank you!

I've been with them for 10 months. About 200 images and 4 downloads so far (all in the past month). No idea for how much and what licensing terms. Yes, they're picky and reject like 80% of my images.

You're correct that they isn't anyway to manage submissions. It's all done by them, including reporting on earnings. You'd have to email the account manager and request to delete which, in my opinion, would not be a good start to the relationship.

They don't show you how much your sales were worth?

I spotted them with Google Reverse. Since they're exclusive I know it's only with them.

I'm supposed to receive a sales report soon with a breakdown.

Alright, keep us posted. How much do they generally charge? I mean, it must be worth it to be exclusive, right?

I can't remember 30 or 35% commission. I find it a bit low for exclusive content.

Lots of their/my images are on Getty and Alamy. Why don't I put them myself? Well, I believe they receive a better CTR ranking + they do their own keywording in-house.

Details on how to submit your first sample batch:

Rubbing salt into my wound, that's also my pic on their public contributor portal cover! I really hope to get some consistent sales soon and better reporting.

Would be a mistake imo to put images that would be accepted on RH in SS, but each to their own.

I find it insulting for exclusive content. It's low for non-exclusive...

Will report as soon as but obviously can't go into too much detail because of confidentiality.

The problem is this: as you know, RH required exclusivity, so I can't put images on RH AND SS or others. I know it well before sending the first submission, but I was pretty sure that they don't accept me, and anyway I took for granted that I will easily delete pictures. I'm on microstock only from 10 months, I'm know that I'm an average photographer and I'm even surprised that I sell travel pictures more or less steadily on SS and AS.
I don't have many "quality" pictures and I prefer to keep them for SS or AS, where they will earn little, but at least they sell sometimes. I understand that RH is a macrostock agency and as you know very well from your experience, sells are very rare. So I think that my picture on RH will never sell and paradoxically are "wasted" compared to microstock, where instead they can sell although earning little.
Just to make and example: last August I travelled to Scotland and now I have about 300-350 pictures that I can submit to SS or AS. I think the good ones are maybe 20 or 30. Others are average, but I will submit them anyway, because I see that also average pictures sometimes sells on SS or AS. However, the pictures that will sell most will be those 20-30 good ones. If I'll submit these 20-30 good pictures to RH (and "unfortunately" I have already submit 7 of them in the first submission, thinking that RH has so high standards...) I'm pretty sure that they will never sell.
In the end, I think that RH and other macrostock agencies are good for "professional" photographers, who produce many many pictures, and can differentiate top pictures for macrostock and good (or average) pictures for microstock. For me, that i produce a little number of pictures and only few of them are good, microstock remains the best choice.
I don't know if what I say it make sense!  :o

I understand what you're saying but to me it sounds illogical.

It's the classic delayed gratification. Would you prefer to receive $1 now or $3 in a year's time? The same works with the Midstocks.

If you have few premium images, no problem...I would save up the batch until you have at least 10 and submit them to RH. They'll probably reject 80% of them anyway and then you can submit them to micros. This way you'll slowly be building up a premium collection. At least in my case it's the best of my best images which I can be proud of. If a potential client wants to see my work I can either send them to my website or link them to my RH account. I'd never link them to my SS portfolio.

Trust me. They're tough. I sent them a batch of 20 a few months ago and all of them were rejected for "lack of commercial value". RH also HATE similars as they'll just take one image from a batch of let's say 10 similars. I'm fine with the rejections, SS will accept them no problem.

What makes you so sure? I've learned never to second guess how buyers think. Some of my least favourite images have sold regularly and ones that I love have rarely sold. We're here to provide a service: variety and quality.

I have also applied and just today been accepted as a photo - video contributor. I haven't even had the time to send the signed contract back, which I will do now. Since I mostly do travel stock, it's up to me to decide what to send where. But I think that a "better" picture (whatever that means) will sell for more there, even once, than as part of a subscription elswhere. I can always send some time sensitive editorials to micro. When for example I was in one of my frequent trips to Rome and Spanish Steps were renovated, I sold editorials with the workers in place. Or when there was a strike in Milan and people burned the palm trees in Milan's Duomo square, I was there. These are "lucky" pics that would have more luck at micro or Alamy. To also share my personal experience, I earn more with videos but mostly if the content is unique or not widely offered.

Alex and I have had this discussion many times. It appears that RH get more of their sales via agencies that they send the images to and so you have to take account of the first agency commission and then RH commission. That may be OK in the end, but we don't know at present.

If instead you supply to Alamy on a non-exclusive basis, you can also put the same images on the micro sites as well. So you have a chance of a larger sale on Alamy and the chance of more regular small sales on the micros.

Ahh - but what about someone seeing the image on Alamy and then searching for a cheaper version? In my experience, they rarely do and I did a reasonably detailed analysis of this on my blog:

http://www.backyardsilver.com/2017/09/alamy-buyers-search-elsewhere/

But, the real answer is that no-one knows what will actually happen to specific images that we decide are "great."

I think I'll give a try to RH and see what happen. The pictures they will accept will be few (anyway I still very surprised that they accept all the 10 pictures of 1st submission...) and I can always ask to cancel my account, they can't prevent me to do it.
A very nice thing about RH is that you don't have to do the keyword process. In agencies like Alamy is exhausting and so I don't submit pictures to them.
It's not very clear to me how they pay. On SS an AS payment process are very smooth with Paypal. In the FAQ they write about "sales payment cheques", but I don't understand exactly what it means.

Best of luck! I would recommend to really give it a go and try your best to have at least 200 images there in the next year. It's a premium travel agency so they want premium images, so expect lots of rejections.

They pay with paypal, among other options.

Thank you Brasilnut!
I have another 2 questions about Robert Harding.
1) In contributor site, I don't see any statistics. How do you know when you sell a picture? They send you an email?
2) Than there is question about RF a RM. When i sent the first 10 pictures to Harding, I choose the option "Either RM or RF". The 10 pictures they have accepted, are all marked as RF. What you suggest for the next submissions? As I said, I'm new in stock photography, but I understand that RM is a "more powerful" license than RF. Also, I see that an agency like Getty Images sell Robert Harding pictures, but mostly RM pictures. So maybe RM pictures in Robert Harding could have more visibility than RF, because they are marketed also in other agencies. What do you think about it?

According to their Image Editor, Fraser Hall:

"Sales reports are made quarterly, our periods are February-April, May-July,
August-October and November-January and reports are sent out the month
following. If there are no sales for the quarter reports are not sent out or
if sales are below 100 they are carried forward to the next period.

Sales and account balance enquiries are best sent to
[email protected]."

I'm not sure by what you mean by "more powerful". I have a preference for "premium images" to be licensed as RM for reasons I won't go into here, but one factor is that it's easier to chase infringements.

However, RH were rejecting so many of my images when I chose the option of RM-only that I decided to leave it up to them with the option "Either RF or RM". This meant that my rejection rate went from 90% down to 80% lol. Both images have equal visibility, I believe, but RF tends to be generally more popular with buyers since usage tends to be less restrictive than RM.

Keep in mind that they also license editorials, either RF or RM.

In a previous post, you have mentioned about your pictures had 4 downloads so far "all in the past month". I assume that last month was September. You have quoted their image editor who says that "Sales reports are made quarterly, our periods are February-April, May-July, August-October and November-January and reports are sent out the month
following". So how do you know about your September sales? If their report period is August-October, you should know about September sales only "in the month following", that is November... Or I miss something?  :o

That's correct. Next month I should receive a sales report, considering that my total net earnings were above GBP 100 (which I assume they would be or I'll be depressed) :)

"It's the classic delayed gratification. Would you prefer to receive $1 now or $3 in a year's time? The same works with the Midstocks." Its more like taking a gamble that you may earn more on the midstock site against the near certainty that you will at least earn something on Micro (If the images are good enough for RH). You will probably know the answer in three years.

Yes, but you already know about the four sales in September... How is it possible, if you will receive sales report only in November? You have reverse searched ALL you RH pictures with Google?  :o

I have. Took me 1 hour only as I have 200 images on there compared to 4100 on SS.

I trust that RH's affiliates will report their earnings as they should. I have little to no control over those images, unfortunately. If I went direct to Getty to chase them they would be like "who the fk are you?"

Yes, a bit of a gamble. In a way it's good that they reject so many so I can place them elsewhere and non-exclusively.

By the way, I put together a blog post on my workflow, when deciding which images go to which agencies and why. I trust you'll find it useful, check it out:

Today I'll make a post about a new reality TV show who are calling for European photographers to apply for a new series. The show is called Master of Photography on Sky and have really enjoyed watching.

http://masterofphotography.tv/en/enter-now/

I'm going to apply and blog about it. Wish me luck!

Good luck! But guess you might be depressed... I joined Robert Harding recently like you and got my first report after last quarter. Half of the sales were for less than 1GBP... Not even 1 big sale. But heard big sales take longer to report, so still have some faith ;) Oh sales report came by traditional post together with a check, need to contact them to change my payout method...

Yes, the obvious thing is to not go exclusive with anyone unless you have a unique, personal relationship with the site owners, meaning they will very actively promote your assets.

Well, sales for less than 1GBP are numbers of microstock. But at least in microstock you don't have to be exclusive. Also, if the minimum payout is GBP 100, could takes a very long way to reach it.
Anyway, it's strange because many pictures are selled on RH site in a price range for 70 to 590. Since the standard commission for contributors is 30%, you should at least earn 21. By maybe your sells are made by other agencies that marketed RH pictures (Alamy, Fotolia) and so there are other commissions...
I'm really looking to know about Brasilnut sales report... for sure I will not upload anything on RH to earn less than 1GBP!

Had 1 direct sale, rest was through distribution channels. Unfortunately some big distributors, like Getty, do whatever they want and can sell the same photo for a price starting from cents ending on hundreds/thousands... So far to be honest I do not see much difference in prices between premium agencies and microstock...

It could be useful if you can tell us some details about your sales: how many pictures you have on RH and how many sales. My point is to understand if it's really worth. Because, for example, if you have 150 pictures and 10 sales in a quarter (and many of them under 1GBP), well, I'm pretty sure that microstock is better. There isn't exclusivity and also payout threshold is easier to reach.

Thanks. Yes, we live in such a superficial world that it helps to mention some of the big name publications that my image has been licensed (even if it sometimes it's only for a few dollars but they don't need to know that). Better than the mom blogs on shutter, no offence to moms :)

What is encouraging is that it went direct with Robert Harding. I think they're too small to sign up to these types of schemes. Interestingly, very few images are licensed directly with them. Hope for a nice payout, at the very least 35% of 100 euros for editorial usage. Will update as soon as.

And in the end, you'll get like 3$, same as on Alamy for that Rio image.

Yea, that was UKNS licensed to the Guardian (cover too).

Just enough to buy a few caipirinhas and pao de queijo. :/

I just looked at their contributor FAQ and it says they pay 30% - the same percent as with an Alamy distributor sale.

Thanks for sharing your experiences.  Based on your actual results and their $100 minimum payout I'm not convinced it's worth the extra hassle, but will wait to see if you get a better return in the future.  Thanks again for sharing and providing the info.
