I was just about to go exclusive, so, now I am dropped to 15%.  I plan to leave what is in my portfolio there, for now.  My stuff is still selling, so, that's better than nothing.  I am planning to try other agencies.  But, I have this general feeling of doom about the microstock field.  I need to be finding other ways to make a living with my talents. 

I've been doing a lot of photography (portraits, models, weddings and such), but I haven't pushed that part so much, preferring the creativity of stock.  I am worried about that industry, and thinking I may need to refresh the other skills and compete with all of the mamarazzis.

Hi, I just joined this group.  So glad I found it.  I just spent the past five years gradually building to get to be exclusive at iStock.  I am now knocked down to 15% with no hope of ever crawling out of that hole.  I didn't go exclusive, yet, thank goodness.  Now I will try starting over at other agencies.  A designer friend posted this on my FB page:

Getty owns the whole image world. That is silly that iStock is paying the photographer's less. I am getting tired [of] the costs that keep going up on purchasing images.
