Hey all,

Reports of declining stock sales at places like Shutterstock, et al, appear to be growing. There is no doubt a race to the bottom. Unfortunately, contributing photographers have zero say in these business decisions.

We want to do something about it.

But in order to fix what's broken, we first need to identify the problems.

What are your biggest challenges with your stock photography business?

Please share in the comments below. For example: low commissions, low sales, lack of say in pricing/business model, etc...

PS - I'm leading the development of a new platform that democratizes stock/photo website creation. If Squarespace and Shutterstock had a baby - it might look something like what we're building. It's currently in public beta if you want to try it out:
