I found the site newbielink:http://www.microstock.top [nonactive]
But, it's only Shutterstock authors table. Who knows a similar site about iStock, Bigstock Fotolia and others?

That's a cool table, thanks for posting the link. I don't know of similar sites, though.

I see Leaf at 337 out of 12213 photographers, with 23,245 images...very impressive!

Now we can make a mailinglist with this names.
Then we have a perfect ss newsletter to inform the members about news from ss bottom race.

There used to be one for istock with over 30 000 members, but I think it was closed.

The interesting thing here is that the 12 million of SS's 70 million images are owned by just the top 100 photographers or studios. I cant be bothered to go through more of the list, but I would bet the top 500 own the majority of the library and almost all of the saleable images, much of the rest being garbage from ye olden days from people who no longer upload.

The Microstockworld is smaller than many people think.
A few contributors can make a big change if they united. Maybe 500 could turn SS in a trashcan if they leaving SS.

Interesting list. It looks like having around 1350 gets you in the top 10,000. I wonder how many are still active during the past year? It looks like not many towards the bottom of the list.

According to Pareto 80% of the images should be produced by 20% of the contributors whether these are the same 20% who get 80% of the income we can only speculate........

Or a lot of those people not in the top 100 are on the way up and a lot of the "top" photographers work is outdated or repetitive trash.....anyone fancy a joint?

It was similar on istock, I think the top 500 contributors created the majority of the sellable content.

People forget that crowd sourcing just means an open platform that allows anyone to enter and the talent to rise to the top without "special connections".

It does not mean some kind of communist work system where everyone produced the same number of images and has the same number of sales, in equal proportion to uploads.

That is why agencies are so extremly vulnerable when people remove their content.

Only active uploaders and relevant portfolios will take part in a boycott.

This is nothing like that.. istock list had sales data, thus was more interesting.. this is just about the number of images people have..

Mine is right count kind of, shows new and I haven't sent anything new in weeks. Just over 12,000 people with 1000 or more. Not worth checking the 60,000 other with less.

Pauws99, you right!
It's easy to load this table in MS EXcell and calculate the amount of images those 12200 contributors - 64,086,726.
It is a 80% of 79,748,055 images of SS.

First 100 contributors has 12.5 millions images = it's a 15.6 percent of all shutterstock's 80,000,000 images.

Its Pareto who was the clever guy :-)

Sort that list by "% of sales", and see who is at 5th place!

Sebastian Radu · « **Reply #19 on:** March 29, 2016, 05:33 »

W hat this "% of sales" means ?

I think it represents the percentage of images that has been sold at least once.

Justanotherphotographer · « **Reply #22 on:** March 29, 2016, 06:38 »

http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-3886493p3.html 25000+ images, sold 0.5% (not 50% 0.5%!)
http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-2013506p1.html 173800+ images sold 2.6%

and lots more, the ridiculously low sell through rates are mostly what have been called the "icon spammers" already discussed here.

look at the last page by date joined. People with 3000 images and no sales? Look at page 1 people with over 99% sold? I think there's a problem in the data that the report can get at. No complaint but something doesn't look right.

Deyan Georgiev Photography · « **Reply #24 on:** March 30, 2016, 01:11 »

There is even negative % of images sold

http://www.shutterstock.com/gallery-938473p1.html

and even negative portfolio size...
