General Stock Discussion / How do you imagine "perfect" stock agency
« on: November 16, 2015, 10:06 »
We can only imagine it. so... Hello to all my colleague photographers.
Recently i spoke with few local photographers (good friends) about imaginary "perfect" stock agency for us photographers. I found out that every single of us have very different views/demands.
Some of them would love that keyword system is not so complicated, some of them think that agencies should be more strict on reviewing process, some of them not.
One friend told me that he would love to see stock agency where you don't need to review images (all approved) which i found weird.
Of course we all agreed that we should have more money from our sales than we have today.
My thoughts were that review times should be shorter.
Subscription system is wrong on most of them.
Images should be more promoted.
Our income from one sold image should not be bellow 50%
Of course this would be very bad for people who are owners of the agency... or buyers...
Anyway i would love to hear your opinions on how would perfect stock agency look like.
Sorry on bad English and cheers.
