Title: My first payout at PantherMedia
Post by: bcnewell on November 01, 2008, 17:44

Just got my first $50+ payout at PantherMedia.  I have only had a few images (65) there for about 8 months.  It's hit and miss but might be worthwhile for some of you who haven't tried it.

Got one payout as well, after that no more pictures sold (nearly one year now). Besides they are very picky with what to accept.

Have 50 pics with them for a few months, only got 1 sale so far. Upload process is lengthy, so with low sales rate I don't have much interest to spend my time on that

I am at midstock Panthermedia for 12 months now (about 1,100 images) and got $220 payout in December. Good deal!
As midstock Panthermedia.net is coming up with micro and subscription by March 1st, I guess they will get along very well.

Well, I jumped through all hoops, passed the test, and was all ready to start uploading. Then I'm faced with the notice of images they need, and images they don't need. I specialize in tabletop photo illustration. My portfolio has a lot of food, isolated on a white background. It sells well on the other sites, but PantherMedia kindly asks not to upload this kind of stuff. They already have enough. I guess I could try a few, but it doesn't sound promising. Some of their food portfolios are quite good, and I thought I could fit right in. Looks like they want to focus on people images.

I think they will accept your food photos.  I have uploaded some with no problems.

I removed all my photos except five and got a sale the next day for one of the removed photos. I suspect it was already sold. Pretty funny. The five I left which have editors marks for quality, are all isolated small objects on white. So I wouldn't be afraid of sending some in and seeing what happens.

I believe it's like any other agency. They have too many of some types of pictures, but if it's good, they will take them.

Anyone uploading Editorial Only to Panther? I was just there looking around and noticed that was an option.
