Hello

I have many heritage sites photos in Egypt all accepted as Royalty free images on SS and DT and Getty as well
while i see other contributors upload the same images it as editorial which is much higher in price

for example one photo on SS costs 99$ and pack of 25 cost over 2000$

is this my fault from the start and can this be fixed i see different in sale price between be and others

Thanks

Hello

i am uploading images from 10 years i was at istock then getty images bought istock

there are very few sales and the royalties are very low

my question is ..

is there difference between uploading to getty images directly and uploading to  getty through istock

coz i see both images that has watermark istock and getty images even if they are under the same site or group

i guess that images that has getty watermark more expensive than istock "images"

and how can i upload directly to getty if it is more profitable ??

Sometimes its good if the buyer want to know more about the photographer!!  that way I landed myself 2 RM sales from my7 private collection for a total of 10K. That was back in 2008.
Pretty neat hey.

Sure Neat

 Do you think clothing manufacturers, for example, don't know anything about who buys particular items, colors, or styles?  Or when, or why?

Wouldn't retailers want to give this data to the manufacturers, so they can improve their products?

+1 Good point

I think Shutterstock's map strikes a good balance - I can see approximately where an image sold in the world, and it's helpful to see which images translate well into other countries and cultures.  It helps me develop a more useful portfolio, without encroaching on the privacy of the buyer.

idont know what shutterstock do.. as am not a contributer but i prefer that all the agencies Adopt this concept that we have the rights to know at least some useful info for our satisfaction its not all about the money.

Thanks

Hiii

WE Want TO KnoW who and what our purchased Photos OR illustrations are used for why most agencies hides this info from us , we made this stocks and we have the rights to know.............

Thanks..karim

thnx
