I mean, don't photographers want control over their pricing and licensing? Isn't this a huge pain? I see it so much on this forum.
@Sean, it's too early for me to say one way or the other.

I've heard different things from different people and someone asked me to post this to everyone. Can a non-curated agency exist? Why or why not? Framed a different way, is the pain that photographers get not having their work accepted, worse than the pain that buyers may face searching for content?

No, we're by far the cheapest on the market for one and have the highest commission. For 7 dollars a month, you get a website + hosting, as well as 100 % commission.

How is a COOP different than just revenue share or 100% commission?

@Mantis,
Appreciate your thoughts, but it's a simple that we implemented, after talking to a lot of photographers. If you have a better model, please let me know and we'll consider using it.

I've considered partnering with Mostphotos or macrografikcs yes.
Why is it so important that an agency screen content? It's not clear in my eyes.

Built-in E-commerce (Does this mean the other options don't have e-commerce?)
You will still have e-commerce, but it's limited. For example, you won't get print option.

We make money when you upgrade for 7 dollars a month, to access the full-suite of features. It's a very simple business model.

100% of commission means almost automatically that no marketing will be done from the agency side.
No, we're partnering with several more established players early on.
We will be updating search and IPTC data soon.

Hi All, Im seeking feedback on the stories feature on the recently launched site Coversplash. The stories feature provides artists the ability to create elegant narratives through photos, videos, and text. An example story is here: http://coversplash.com/story/532Would people be interested in showcasing and blogging about their work in this way? Please let me know your thoughts and if you would like to try it. Best, PhotographyPlus

We're working on adding some advanced computer vision technology to our search, ShadySue. I'll let you know when it's released.
Any other questions? Please let me know! We appreciate your feedback and I'll update everyone, when we make some of the changes mentioned.

Our mission is quite simply to create the most beautiful outlet to promote, share, and sell as a photographer. Flickr doesn't do e-commerce at all, personal sites, or licensing. We have all this on one platform on the web for photographers.

I also dont understand the Download Raw. I dont want people downloading my image unless they have licensed it. Why would they license it if they can download it for free? Unfortunately, most people would just steal it. Can this be disabled?
This has been removed. The email check failed inadvertently.
@BD, please let us know any other changes. We encourage your feedback. We are in the process of adding the license descriptions.

Does anyone have any thoughts about the stories feature? This feature will hopefully be the best way for photographers to blog about their work online

Also, If anyone wants a free site, for one year, (to take advantage of print provider and e-commerce solution), please PM me or email me at [email protected]. I will upgrade you directly. Best.

Guys,
The stock site has not been formally released to the public. Were aware of the issues. You guys are the first to see it. The only reason I listed it, is b/c someone wanted to know where the 250k images were. Were fixing all these issues ASAP.
Does anyone have any feedback on the photographer side? The portfolios? The network? Please let me know.
Best.

Feedback I got from photographers was that they really wanted one ideal platform online for photographers. Why should photographers have to build their portfolio solution on one site, license their work on another, and socialize on another platform? Why can't they do it all on one platform, online? Why cant photographers control their license types and price points?
In addition, the team is composed of four strong product-focused engineers. Weve build some stunning portfolios, that well only get better over time. Some photographers were really excited about SymbioStock. Were actually even cheaper. For less than 10 dollars, we take care of all e-commerce and hosting. Were the cheapest on the web. If you need a place just to display photos, thats completely free.

@luissantos,
We got feedback from photographers after releasing portfolios late last year, and they simply wanted a platform like this, more of an e-commerce solution and less of a social network.

We're working on some bugs still. Most large company websites have bugs and severe security issues, and we just released this into Beta, so please consider that.
Hope everyone enjoys the new site and considers joining. We're going to get to be the "the world's most popular photography network" eventually. We encourage feedback. So please respond or email us. We want to make a great experience for photographers on the web.

You're welcome to upload vector graphics. We're mainly focused on photos now, but if you're able to upload it, you're able to sell it on your personal site. In the future, we'll make a concerted effort to make sure these file types work.
