advice about stock photo sites.

Anonymous Wed 24 Jun 2020 11:12:22 No.3675131 View View Reply Original Report

Hi there,

I have a huge number of photos sitting down in my hard drive and i was thinking to start uploading them to some stockphoto website and with some luck, make a few bucks out of it.

Any recomendations and info about this idea?

don't want to disappoint you, mate
but If I was you, I'd wait a few months to repeat that question.

Shutterstock is selling photos at .10, like iStock. Adobe is selling at .15 to .25. and the market is slow...

Thanks for the answer.

This being said, I don't plan to live out of my photos so, even those prices are garbage is still better than nothing.

Don't you think so?

you're effectively pricing your work at 15 cents...
so if you're cool with that, go for it.

the thing is, you need a minimum value into your wallet to withdrawn your money.

I'll use Shutterstock as an example because I had a 'fair' income from there:

you need to have at least 35 USD on your wallet to withdrawn, at .25 cents to 1.5 USD per picture you'd have it at least a month or two if you're 'casual'. now the prices dropped to .10 cents, it's taking a while to fill your wallet with the minimum to withdraw.

Even 'hard core' stock photographers are crying about the prices drop.

Do you loose the right of your photos once you upload them to the site? Sorry but this subworld is completelly new to me.

Sometimes yes. You can't even upload the image to your portfolio or social media. But that is rare and it have a different contract.

happened to me once with a photo from the sea, sold it for 499.99 USD and the part asked to it to be removed from everywhere. and yet I haven't see what he did to my image.
