Title: iStockphoto and Getty Images: Quit Your Day Job
Post by: Istock News on December 04, 2006, 13:45
Today, everything changes. Everyone at iStock has their sights set on reaching Diamond. Now, that accomplishment means more than a higher royalty and a satisfying twinkle. The hard work, talent, and dedication that makes a diamond isn"t the end of the battle; it"s the start of yet another revolution.

As much as iStockphoto delivered and continues to do so, iStockpro never conquered some markets in the way we expected – but now you can conquer them yourself. iStock is now the only agency you need to make a career out of making images. As of today, we"re parachuting you right
into the heart of the traditional "professional" market.

Starting in January 2007, the creative team at Getty Images will offer contracts to all of our Exclusive Diamond photographers and illustrators.

You proved you are a professional a long time ago. Now there"s a whole other market for you to dominate. No one is ever going to call you an "amateur" again.

A pity we scared off any iStock exclusives it would be interesting to read their thoughts on all these changes.
