^^^ Get in there Sean! You know you want to. Just think ... you'll actually get to discuss things with Yuri HIMSELF! You even get paid $100 per month for speaking to Yuri HIMSELF.

There is a warning though;

"Don't just "criticize!" - anybody can do that - show that you know the industry by suggesting smart solutions."

So, he's wanting a real-life consultancy service for $100pm.

The point is coming for microstock...simply put is a kind of photogrpahy who will not take anybody to anywhere.
I use all the best microstock, i earn slow money but i sell only travel and reportage photo. Now contributing to big agency, selling directly, selling less but for better money. Microstock evne for Yuri is not profitable.
In my opinion this is risky for yuri....


- many here consider yuri arcurs wrks superb. yes superb in micro community, pretty standard for macro agency. igf i browse the same theme in other agency, like image source or getty itself, there are images with more creativity or at least same IQ. Yuri strong point was to create high iq images in microstock world, but these images compared to similar images in macro stock are not so amazing, i mean there are more talented photog of yuri in macro work.

- he sold a lot because it was cheap to  buy. istock is falling down, maybe some buyers know yuri and want his works, but in my opinion most buyer just search and choose the most downloaded  images for theme. yuri having begun selling tons of images in 2006 is high in every ranking. The download ranking explains while all te images from yuri from 2006-2008 have sold in thousand, while all the images from yuri after 2009 have sold less. In practice he's selling mostly old images. New images with new theme struggles.

- Yuri to keep is business is producing how much 50k images per year? now he has a group of 14 young "student" who are simpy producing images for him to keep the business going. In my opinion this is another blow to the industry. Now in PI there 100k more images. hes producing like crazy, but is this profitable or good for market? i doubt.

- ss will keep selling the same, people don't care of yuri works in microstock. they buy here for price, if they have tp buy same image theme from yuri at 20 dollar and from another at 1 dollar, who you think they will choose?

in practice yuri is simply telling that the feast is ended. Microstock wil be good to earn good money while keeping cost at minimum, but for big business company this scheme is unprofitable in the long run,


I dont know if he will sell rm or rf, but now many images of yui who have sold for peanuts in ss , will be sold for dollars, maybe even big dollars, from getty.  And this is still confusing , in an industry already highly confused.

Yup. Microconsultancy rather than trad consultancy.  It's a race to the bottom!

Like I said in another thread, presumably Canadian advertising legislation must be very lax, if they can say, via the crown, that he's exclusive, but he isn't.
It's also devaluing the crown for all the exclusives who don't have special 'deals'.

But he has photos uploaded in 2010 (and even before)

BTW, it looks like another Scandinavian, formerly of this parish, is in the process of becoming iS exclusive.

I really don't understand what's going on here. There's surely no reason that his FT portfolio for example couldn't have been disabled at the same time as his SS portfolio (unless he had another 'special deal' with them too)? Even at DT Yuri doesn't appear to have uploaded for over a year so again his entire portfolio could be gone from there too.

Maybe he just really doesn't like Shutterstock?  How much of a pay cut did his family just get from the changes to the referral scheme?  $100,000 per year?  Who knows but I bet it was very significant.

From Yuri alone right?  He probably had hundreds of referrals of his own that disappeared over night.

Why don't one of you guys contact IS support and pose the question?  Obviously, they wouldn't answer me if I asked.

They wouldn't answer even if they knew the details.  The deal is between him and Getty so they probably don't know everything.  Besides what kind of answer would be satisfactory?  Everyone already knows he got a special deal and he was allowed to keep his images up at other sites at least for a few weeks, he said that much.  What more do you need to know?

Yeah, his dad said he referred Yuri, and said Yuri had 3-4k dls per day.

And Yuri was pretty active in trying to get referrals from what I remember.  He said 3-4k dls per DAY not month.

Yes per day, typo and corrected.

You don't have to ask for details.

"Hi, I see another contributor who has thousands of images here as an exclusive, also has the same thousands of images on many other microstock sites.  Has there been a change to the ASA in some way?"

It's been mentioned in the forums in a variety of ways and the posts have been deleted....that says it all, IMO.
