Hello,

I'm a freelance photographer, working in Holland and i started selling my pictures on my own website's newbielink:http://[url=http://www.retrostock.nl [nonactive][/url] and newbielink:http://www.medsostock.nl [nonactive] but I lack the buyers the big companies have. I work with Google add's and posting on blog's and forums like this, but can anyone tell me how to gain more clients for my pictures.

Please have a look at my site's and mail me any feedback at newbielink:mailto:[email protected] [nonactive]
greetings from a cloudy Holland

A lot of poor images and information on your RetroStock website, the images are just old snapshots with a limited editorial social history use, it would not appeal to buyers of mainstream stock maybe a few could be used in education.

Every person and or body part in a Commercial image must have a signed and noted model release, those that do not should be licensed as rights managed and clearly state editorial use only, which as far as I can see you do not have for most of your people images.

On your FAQ:
