I was looking at this famous picture took by Istock exclusive photographer Eva Serrabassa, I guess she is pretty close to $100 000 commission in 4 years?
(picture downloaded more than 19 000 time)

Let see... I would say an average of 4$ per download. A little bit less than your estimation (80 000$). You should do a poll, then ask her who's winning

I gave a bit more since she is exclusive and EL boost $/dl but yes can be lower as well

My guessing is she's closer to 30,000 or maybe 40,000, but only she knows the exact amount...

Who knows how many extra small downloads the image had....

That shot has been there forever, so many of the DL were probably early on at the older lower payouts.

Certainly it has some ELs. I have seen it used on product packaging on a major brand electronics item just for starters. I can't count the number of times I have run across it on the web and in print.

We should all be so lucky as to have just ONE shot like this that really takes off  ;D

Anywhere from 60K to 120K

I'd say about 75K if I was guessing

In my case I know for a fact that since August 2005 I averaged .93 per download as a non-exclusive. You could almost double that as an exclusive, if this member has been exclusive the all time which is 1.86 x 19000 =$35340.  And then you would still need to figure the various cannister levels that this member went through as an exclusive, so 20-30K seems a good target. I would say this is max. Certainly not 100K. Denis

Istock will probably have made nearly $100K from that image.

This logic is flawed.  I've been averaging well over $3 per download for a while no- assuming that someone is averaging the same and that the downloads are spread evenly for 4 years, you get 5,000 downloads in the past 365...thats 5000 x 3 (and they have a better cannister level) - that alone is $15,000.  I'm pretty sure that the photographer gets more than $3 per download because I'm not even gold yet. 

So you're telling me that 14,000 downloads = $10,000?

No chance.  At all.

Who's saying 10K? There's an additional 0 in the original thread that you're missing!

I agree that 100K is too high - I'd guess somewhere around the 45K mark would be closer to the mark.

$100K is a bit optimistic... however it's a good picture, I like colours - whatever she earned it's well deserved

My logic is based on over 17200 downloads. On how many downloads are you making your assumption?  Denis

That is true.  Istock is certainly highly profitable for the owner(s)

$20K-$35K depends on ELs. Probably < $30K. On pure stats I guess that ^SL is on the money.
