Do you pay models same salary while shooting stock video and stock photos? How about in case if you shoot with models in same session video & photo. Hourly salary will keep same or how this normally works? Helen Fields & hotelfoxtrot type of footage were thought were people are actual models & actors not just friends of yours who would help around.

General - Stock Video / Return per clips vs. return per image
« on: October 01, 2016, 04:57 »
What is difference between return in clips vs. return in images? Lets say 1000 images would give yearly 1000 $ so in footage how much similar quality footages could earn if amount of videos would be also 1000?

If microstock would be your only job/income/activity, how many images could you get approved monthly without hiring anyone if only getting pictures approved would be goal? Commercial value etc. secondary just getting picture approved would be goal.

I have seen few contributors like Africa Studio and Elnur in Shutterstock who upload and get approaved around 2000 images to 10,000 images monthly (neither one of those contributors do all the job by themselves thought Elnur has other job besides microstock too).

If someone would offer you 1 million dollars and you would have to do all shooting, editing, keywording, uploading, finding models, planning the shoots, buying and finding all props etc. by yourself and would give microstock 1 year what you think could be maximum amount of pictures you could get approved if you would put all your effort and time and 1 million dollars would be reward? Just photos and reasonable amount of variation.

What you think could be your monthly average upload in one year period if 1 million dollars would be guaranteed as reward as long as you get those "maximum uploads"? With 100% effort and focus could you get 100, 500, 1000, 2000, 5000, 10000 images per month? What would be the limit that you would find "bet" realistic to take?

For very basic type of editorial pictures that are mainly "snapshots" from travels where would you upload them and why? I found this portfolio in Alamy http://www.alamy.com/search.html?qt=jgx&imgt=0 and basically all portfolio seems to be "snapshot" type of pictures from holidays without model or property releases. Would you upload this type of material as RM to Alamy like in this example or to multiple microstock agencies? Portfolio size in this example is more than 100,000 what type of RPI would you think that contributor can realistically expect from this type of content?

General Stock Discussion / "Self portrait" model release
« on: September 09, 2015, 02:57 »
How to fill in model release in "self portrait".

Situation could be for example that photographer has set up all the studio lightning, settings manually etc. but just ask his or her friend to press the shutter button because there is no tripod etc.

Or in other scenario it could be outdoors settings but in all cases the one who is pressing the shutter gives all the copyrights to you and approve you to use pictures in commercial way.

How to fill in model release in this case?

Do you upload them just as self portraits or if the one who is pressing the shutter is filled as photographer what has to be written in model release to make point that one who is model actually has the copyrights for the image?
