Does anyone here have experience with Lori.ru?  How do they sell?

I submit there for a few years and I know the owners of the site personally.

The site isn't a pure microstock - it is more an RM-type with prices ranging from microstock to macro depending on the usage and resolution (though they don't require exclusivity so it's not a pure RM but may be a variety of various ELs for different use).

They sell moderately well. Their main focus is Russian-specific content; but traditional microstock lifestyle pictures sell too - Yuri Arcurs is an example.

moderately well like Dreamstime, or moderately well like Bigstock or Canstock?

Very un-even one month to another (because the amount of sale varies from around $.3 to around $100 and the number of sales isn't very high).

The total of 2010 for me was above bigstock and 123rf but seriously below Dreamstime.
The total of 2011 so far is almost equal to DT (i.e. much higher than BS or 123rf)

If you have a large portfolio you can submit it via CD/DVD and they'll make the keywords/categories work for you. Just write them email.

Another option is you could try with Google translator (and no you don't have to translate the keywords, they'll do it for you is you have them in IPTC in English).

I found this on there website - but it is  translated from Russian into English with Google Chrome:

How do I get my money?

Money is transferred to a bank account photographer opened in any bank of the Russian Federation. You can also order the transfer of money or postal order to get their cash on statements in Moscow. According to statements of the money can get and your attorney in this case, your attorney must have a passport and a power of attorney to receive money.

If you are not a citizen of Russia, the payment is transferred by postal order. Service money orders, address, and the currency in which the transfer is pre-specified in a personal e-mail correspondence. Necessary to confirm the receipt of money by phone or email.

normally they pay via wire transfer (inside Russia) but they can pay with PayPal to those living abroad.

You can start uploading your pictures after registration; but your pictures will not appear on sale until the signed contract will be received by Lori.

luissantos84, we do not have your account. Probably,  You have not confirmed the registration.
Please register again.
If you send me an e-mail at
[email protected] [nofollow] I'll send you screenshots of how to fill out the form.

Unfortunately, our forms only in Russian.
We have already understood that need to translate and work on it.

We can send payments via PayPal, in USD.
The main selling on our website in rubles, so the translation will be counting on the USD.

We will try to translate our license agreement in the near future.
It must be complete, scan and send a first scan, then the paper version. But send your photos you can have as soon as we get a scan of the agreement.

Thank you for letting us know. Your own translated English was also fine. Never had a problem understanding you.
