Hi All,Macrografiks is now accepting other type of images apart from closeups/macros. After many interviews and surveys done to different stock image customers we realised this is the best way to take, that is what most customers prefer and what they recommend to us.It is important to note that we will keep a high-quality standard and a strong focus on artistic images, avoiding the typical and traditional photos widely offered on many popular agencies. We are still in the process of implementing the model release option in the platform, so at this time we are not taking images of people that can be identified. This should be ready soon though.Find more information at:http://macrografiks.com/joinThanksFA*See attachment for a reference of the type of images we aim for.
I have mixed feelings on this move- If you accept what all the other companies accept especially the big companies (Top Tier) how can you compete with them? You will most likely come and go by the way side. On the other hand if you have a niche (ie Macro) buyers will go directly to your site if they are looking for that niche. Just my thoughts...
can you show us a link of what type of images your seeking? Stockbo is also gearing up on a similar approach as well.

Stockbo is also gearing up on a similar approach as well.A good place to see the type of images that we like is this Pinterest board:http://www.pinterest.com/macrografiks/photografiksThat's the ideal of course, we'll be more flexible when it comes to approve content.
For those of you on the fence over whether or not to participate at Macrografiks I can tell you that FA is the best agency owner I have ever dealt with....very open to suggestions, very respective of contributors, and very fair in submission selections. It may be off to a slow start with the focus having been on macro but the hope is that the move to a more generalized content will bring in a wider buyer base. The prices are decent and the commissions fair, the imagery is of high quality; worth a try, IMO. You are the key to its success.If nothing else take a look at the site and see what you think of the design and the content. Time for us to migrate away from the corporate greed of the likes of iStock and others and support the 'little' guy.
