I've had quite a lot of food photography sell on FAA. They can sell as wall art for kitchens and dining rooms, holiday food (Christmas, Thanksgiving, Valentine, Easter, etc) does well for greeting cards, I've sold several as jigsaw puzzles, a cake printed on a tapestry (of all things!). Heck, someone even purchased one of my candy photos printed on a shower curtain. So you never know.
Thanks for the encouragement! I'm really going to try to see if I can "squeeze" anything out of the photos I already have.

Hi, I was also thinking of an alternative to increase my income from stock photography. But, unfortunately, I don't know how many would be willing to buy products with pictures of food. But I don't want to practice another kind of photography just to sell PODs. Anyway, I think the best way is to try and see what happens... Good luck to all!

Same problem.. I stopped uploading pictures as soon as I had the first such sales, couple of month ago. Next month I will try to get out of all those "profitable" sales. If I still have such sales, Alamy will have the same fate for me as Shutterstock ... I'll delete the account and that's it. Eventually, solutions will be found for us as well. Everything is cyclical. I hope

Hi, I don't login often, maybe once a year, but is giving me "those detaisl don't match our records...". I tried to reset password and username, but I don't even get an email, not in Spam folder.
I also had those problems...I exchanged a lot of emails with support, but nothing. I finally figured out that if I wait, say, two hours and then try again, it works.

Hello, I recently bought a new Canon R5 from a Belgium website but the camera came from China (through a third supplier). Everything was fine until I tried to use the cloud function via the image.canon.com website. My camera is sending an email for registration in Chinese via "ciu.canon.com.cn" and I cannot switch to EN. After some research I understood that my only option was to change the PCB (more than 600 EUR). I asked the guys from Canon.be and Canon Europe, they checked the SN from my camera and, indeed, the camera was not made for EU market. They recommended me to send it back because most probably this camera comes from a "gray" market. I asked the seller and after a few emails they told me I could send it back and I would get my money back. My question is if the same thing happened to someone else and if he continued to use the camera. Do you think, regarding accessing the image.canon.com will be other issues with it? I bought it already at a very good price and I don't know whether to return it or not. The seller told me that I will have 2 years of warranty. I don't know if that could be the only downside (the cloud thing). Thank you for your thoughts

In March I did the same thing.... And I'm very happy with that I'm still waiting to receive that "large sum of money" they owe me ))

Hello,
I did and will continue to do food photography.
In Romania, food prices are at least the same as in Western Europe. Sometimes bigger sometimes smaller. In the case of cameras, the prices are exactly the same (sometimes even higher). With the new "improved" formula of our Shuttesrtok income, I will not accept to sell my humble pictures for 10 cents. The other day I deactivated my video portfolio (around 500 files), and today, after the first pictures sold for 10 cents, I did the same for the pictures (5690 files). I want to mention that I am at level 4 (I still had a little and I was over 10k dollars earned) I find it incredible what those from the "biggest" company in this field could do. We can all see the lack of respect, unprofessionalism and hunger for money and profit. I would be ashamed as CEO of such a company to fool thousands of people and practically steal them. It's really embarrassing! How eager can you become for money ?! Unbelievable! But what I have learned over time is that all evil returns just as good returns. That's why I'm convinced that in the end the fact that I deactivated both portfolios from them is something that will ultimately bring me a higher income!
I hope you don't sell your work and everything you've invested over time for 10 cents!
All the best, Sebastian

Can we sue them? Is there a possibility? There are (in my case at least) 3-4 agencies I still work with. I think the vast majority came to the bottom with patience and indulgence. If there is someone who knows better, he can give us a hand. For me, it is a closed road from now on.
And I was thinking of buying a new camera...

FC I reached 300 videos for 2019 in August, But haven't received the all apps bonus yet. It's been almost 8 weeks. Are the bonuses sent out individually based on when you reached the threshold or are they sent out in batches so some might get them in less time than the 6-8 week time frame and others longer than the 6-8 week time frame?
I have the same problem (with photos)...

Authors must meet the minimum activity requirements for at least one item type to be eligible. But how can I have activity if the upload process for me, as a photographer, is off ?

I don't know why, but my sales stopped on Ft/As and my FT rank has dropped drastically to 22.300 Not even one video sale... This has never happened to me.. On SS - BME....

I stop uploading after they cut our royalties.
I think the only agency that increase our royalties is Fotolia/Adobe. I love them!
Love them now, Sebastian, but make sure you're wearing protection. I tried dating Fotolia a long time ago and got into trouble. Never again.
I don't know why, but after that post my sales stopped on Ft/As and my FT rank has dropped drastically to 22.300 What a strange coincidence.. this has never happened to me

They offer 5 images for FREE if you register with a card an activate a monthly subscription. Anyway, form now I will stop uploading to them. The effort and the associated risks are no longer justified !!
