a friend of mine is a reviewer on photocase and once when i visited him, he was reviewing. while reviewing he just picked the ones which catch his eyes, out of hundreds and reject the rest.

this is 'interesting' 

wow, i think i've kickstarted this old thread

but as i told you the site is different and i think this is a good thing. even with lots of people submitting, there are just a few photos added each day and this keeps the site very usable and less spammed.

you guys should search for "business" on the big6. you will see the same shots in all of those 6 (ok, without exclusives)! if you search for business on photocase you will see the difference.
there are buyers out there who wants exactly this difference.

sadly i didn't find this post, where a reviewer from a common stocksite told his story. i think i've seen it in shutterstock forums. the reviewer told how enjoyable it is to review the same stuff (style and subject) over and over again. like .. earth rendered with black background .. earth rendern with white background .. earth rendered peeking out of a giftbox .. earth rendered hands holding it .. earth rendered with this or that and so on. the sad fact is, he has to do it and he has to click the "accept button" if the file is technically ok even if there are hundreds of earths already online.
the earththing was an example, i think the originally text was about common household stuff.

i love photocase and i would love to see more sites like them. even with less then 30 photos online i have made more money there, then with more then 100 photos on fotolia, bigstock or stockxpert (photocase pays in euros!!). i have the same shots on the stocksites but also some more stocky ones.

sure you can't upload your 25 bestsellers from stocksites and expect them to be best sellers there. they don't want your best stocksellers! they want something different (ok, sometimes i don't get why certain shots are accepted). its way more easy to get your shots accepted on usual stocksites, because they accept everything as long as it has no logos and no noise.

a friend of mine is a reviewer on photocase and once when i visited him, he was reviewing. while reviewing he just picked the ones which catch his eyes, out of hundreds and reject the rest. everybody is fine with this. so its not like on other sites where inspectors check every shot for every detail.
the best thing is, you don't have to waste time with keywording and stuff. you only have to do this if a shots gets accepted.

i saw shot from photocase printed in lots of german magazines and even on covers. (like the germanwide magazine "unispiegel"). not sure about other countries but they seem to be at least well known in germany.
