General Stock Discussion / Stockbo
« on: November 06, 2013, 23:26 »
Hey guys,
I've been lurking here for a while but think its time to say hello! I am part of a small team thats bringing you a new stock agency known as Stockbo.
We have been in development since the start of the year and will be launching the platform very soon.
There were two main reasons why we decided to start Stockbo. Firstly from a buyers perspective, we found that a lot of agencies were competing based on quantity, which meant that buyers had to sift through pages and pages before finding a great image. But more importantly and the main reason is that we didn't think it was fair that the percentage being paid to photographers were getting pretty abysmal.
Thats why were offering a minimum 50/50 split straight away. Also, were not asking for exclusive photos. As long as your images meet the style and quality we are after (and they aren't uploaded exclusively elsewhere) we will consider them.
We love what Bruce and the Stocksy team are doing for the industry and would be privileged to be apart of this change towards a greater level of fairness for talented photographers.
We've made the platform simple and easy to use, which we will continuously improve and add to as we collect more feedback.
If you are interested in contributing with us and would like to submit some images before we launch, wed love to hear from you. You can email us a link to your portfolio at [email protected].
To get an idea of the sort of style and themes we are after, have a look at our Pinterest Page http://www.pinterest.com/stockbo/
