Do you know any stock photo sites exclusively for iphone and mobile phone images?

I don't think there are any.  What would the the advantage to a site of excluding images not made on a cellphone?

Less competition...

Less competition for contributors, but what would be the selling point for the website?

Oh, I don't know about that.

I thought the OP is a contributor and wanted to dump a few hundred cell phone pics at a fictional cell phone stock agency.

actually i think i have came across a site that people upload images from phone, especially for news related images.. but can't really remember the name..

I guess there is a market for everything...

Proof that the world now has a new problem: excess server capacity.

Try to submit DSLR photos to one of these sites, and you'll get rejection reasons like these:

"Your image is excessively sharp."
"Your image lacks motion blur. Try holding your phone at arm's length when shooting."
"Your image doesn't contain enough noise.  Use a higher ISO setting or shoot in dimmer light."
"One or more of the people in your image appear to be too old."

I understand that all images shot on a phone will only be accepted under our Exclusive Content Supply Agreement.
I understand that all images are submitted non-exclusively except images shot on a phone.

I'm in favour of this model (actually discussed it at the last couple of conferences as I was considering setting up a mobile-focussed market myself).

The agreement indicates quite clearly where their priorities lie, and that's in creating a collection of content-focussed images without too much regard to 'perfect' technical detail. Especially with the rising fashion for 'instagram' effect photos regardless of their complete lack of artistic value in the eyes of 'real' photographers, there's a rock-solid market here which (potentially at least) can open up a new market for imagery without (for once) cutting into the existing market.

It of course remains to be seen whether there's 'real' revenue there but I'm (cautiously) optimistic, I just wish they had a referral programme so I could write them some mobile apps and nab an extra slice of the cake from the other side

Just got an email promoting this site

Instagram is extremelly appealling for the man on the street. As is iphone photography etc. A whole new market seems to be emerging with iphone artists etc etc.

Re the above site: Not sure how they can be printed as 20 x 20 inch canvasses though without being completelly pixelated... Not sure the so called topsellers are shot with mobile phones and then processed in instagram either...
