Interesting. There is a thread in their new forum, " lets talk pictures"  many members reporting sales of the month and so on. Looking at the portfolios of the ones reporting is really an eye-opener for those who wish to sell through Alamy.

Its all generic content, dogs, cats, travel, cars, vintage-cars, scenics, landscapes. Its basically all chocolate box material from every member reporting sales.
Well its ofcourse a good thing that this material still sell in such quantities but my word?

Alamy is an old hand, been around for ages but this really gives good indication of the kind of material that should be placed and represented by them.

Landscapes.

Mine are a random mix of what I have over there.

Same. I would say that everything sells at Alamy.

Jeez!  I was only quoting a certain thread in the Alamy forum, thats all.

Sure, but you were saying that only choc box stuff sells, and when you think how many people are reading this forum, we need to get things right.
All I'm saying is that everything sells at Alamy, as long as it's of a reasonable quality, of course

I have some generic items at Alamy, but most of what I license there isn't generic.  Most of it is editorial in nature and cannot be reproduced.  It sells well.

...and yes, I've also sold pictures of dogs and cats over white - I was volunteering as a photographer at the local animal shelter for a while and added some of those images to my library at Alamy.

Indeed, choc box material. My biggest sale to date at Alamy:

It seems that  prices keep going down - my last sale netted me only $3 - and sales are few and far between.   Losing interest in Alamy, unfortunately.
