iStockPhoto.com / WHEN They Drop Exclusivity
« on: February 10, 2015, 21:25 »
WHEN...and it's gotta be inevitable...WHEN they eventually drop exclusivity, will exclusives be bound to the 30-day limbo where they can't approach/upload to other agencies?

10,000 images and it's D-E-A-D.

Thanks Jo Ann. Judging from past September iStock rollouts, this is very good advice.

Hmmm...Just did a little checking with regards to the image. Seems it ended up on a book cover, and was made into a movie. Nope, never got a property release...or an extended license. The image, of course, was deactivated last April.

General Stock Discussion / Liabilty?
« on: August 11, 2014, 16:17 »
Recently, one of agency/distributors I deal with received a claim in regards to a property image in my portfolio that I took several years ago (a bed and breakfast). The agent/distributor is requesting from me specific information about the shot. Can I be liable in any way for this claim? Just wondering.
Thanks

« on: June 20, 2014, 09:31 »
I've never posted about poor sales, but the end of May to date has been abysmal. I have over 10,000 images, and have been fortunate to see 1-3 sales/day...none of which are S+. All S&M...which is the way I'm feeling about iStock...a non-sexual pain and humiliation.

Lately I am getting 100% acceptance for technical quality but keep getting dinged for model releases.

I've noticed this, too-100% acceptance. For me it seems they've eased up on the "harsh shadows."

I'll drop about 500. I'll be hoisting a German brew, so the number could go up or down.

Lobo's a piece of work. Lotsa bad karma in his Christmas stocking.

Thinking more about this, the timing is the other concern - we're coming up to the busy season. IS has repeatedly hosed the site during busy times because they botched software changes/updates. September to mid-December is one of the traditionally big sales seasons and it would be sane planning, IMO, if the site were worked on in January or over the summer (August is drawing to a close and they haven't started to roll out changes yet).

Perhaps this will be the one release that goes smoothly and has only minor bugs.....
A lot of contributors are thinking the same thing, but you'll never see this post on the IS Forums.

Does an IT have enough clout to keep offering amended discounts? I smell a rat.

Thank you, IS...I didn't get enough coal in my stocking last year.

Hard to say, since IS has a track record of changing the rules.

After 100+ comments, You-Know-Who finally weighs in with his usual elementary school principal snarkiness and closes the topic and remind us it's the weekend. Wait til Monday. Right...Monday...beginning of a holiday week.

Has anyone noticed a huge spike in inspections? CRAZY CONSPIRACY: Have the inspectors returned from some IS retraining session?

Six years of uploading images to IS, a 25% cut in royalties, and now they want me to bring in new talent so they can pay them 17% and further erode my income? Yeah, right...
