Posted in another section but wanted to get everyones opinion on it:

So I got invited to register as a contributor to this website, I wondered if anyone has tried it?
here's a link I was sent by one of their staff: http://www.flashstock.com/kit


I don't usually take on paid assignments from clients like this. It looks like they send you briefs to shoot for brands social media accounts, and your images are used on their instagram etc. Looks like they have some big names signed up which is cool, some food and drinks brands and airlines, and looks like you are guaranteed the fee which is nice.


An extra money maker on top of shooting stock? or is this the future and will we see traditional stock decline?

It seems legit, but I don't think it will be popular with traditional stock photographers as you need to be quite flexible to shoot this, and you have to have a broad skillset.

Hi group,

I'm planning a trip to South Africa this spring and i'm trying to figure out how to make the most of this trip. I'm shooting stock for about half of it, and driving around doing some photo favours at a few vineyards and communities. Anyone have any advice for shooting in this country? anything I should prepare for and any stock subjects I should cross off my list as being overshot?

I'm hoping to recover the initial outlay within 6-12months,
thanks in advance
