Dreamstime.com / DT exclusive for photo contest
« on: June 15, 2008, 04:09 »
Hi,

I'd like to know your opinion on this; I'm trying to figure it out myself, but it's always good to ask..

I'm planning to send a specific picture to a photography contest at a local travel magazine. According to the rules, in case of going through to the finals, I give the newspaper the right for unlimited reprints + commercial use for promotional reasons only.

The picture is a DT exclusive.

Is it a legal and wise thing to do? Does "exclusivity" on stocks concern stock business only, or does it mean I can't use the picture anymore? Is it safe to remove it from my DT portfolio? If yes, better do it right now or wait until the results?

thanks in advance for your opinions, cheers

General Stock Discussion / Micro vs Macro: designers' choice
« on: June 11, 2008, 09:51 »
A colleague of mine, a designer, claimed in a recent conversation that she never visits microstock sites (the name Istockphoto didn't actually ring any bell). According to her, all the pictures and graphics her company needs is usually taken from Getty or Alamy. The reason: not enough variety in micro.

Maybe I should point out that what they do (as far as I know) are pretty specific projects for the Dutch market, concerning antiques, curiosa etc.

Still, it's been on my mind lately; do you have experience with the designers' side of stock? Is it possible to judge if the big agencies (which apparently don't mind the price that much) are moving toward microstock or staying with macro?

In any case, maybe it's a good moment to start shooting more "out of the box", niche images. Which reminds me, my bro used to collect snails :P
