Hi, watching this in late November. We're a small marketing content studio and currently retooling our site for stock media. I want to basically have a curated agency like Stocksy; pay a minimum of 50% royalties, exclusivity for images only. I would keep the number of contributors small and deal with each of them on more of a personal basis. And actually promote the photographers themselves as a selling point, with things like behind-the scenes look at the photo session and interviews. And something that I haven't seen so far-fee-plus-royalties for selected projects. I believe artists should get paid for their work and should have some basic security in their lives.

Thanks for sharing! Any possibility that can you do a video on how you prepare images and video clips (color correction, color grading, etc.) for submission?

@maddiem5921 4 года назад

Great breakdown. I would also say that a major barrier for many photographers using Adobe is because they don't accept editorial images (apart from illustrative editorial once you've sold enough images to qualify).

@annerichard788 4 года назад

Excellente vidéo et qui m'a appris le système de classement de mots clés d'Adobe Stock par importance, je ne le savais pas. Avec les nouveaux barèmes de paiement de Shutterstock mis en place le 1er juin, le choix d'Adobe Stock comme agence No 1 est encore plus pertinent.

Brilliant video thanks.

@danielrao3120 3 года назад

A very informative and well explained video. I would be nice if you could put together another such video taking into account how the various stock agencies are responding to the Corona virus pandemic and the relative impact the latter has had on the agencies. Shutterstock has been ruthless in respect to the royalties paid to contributors. Finally, Shutterstock is, and here I totally agree with you, is inconsistent when it comes to it's reviewers assessment of submitted images. Confusing at the very least! Thank you very much.

@amwjournal9279 3 года назад

Thanks for sharing your valuable experience to the public! You mentioned a tool you use for keywording (19:45), may I ask which one?

@sarahhoffman1787 3 года назад

Hello Julie, which tool are you useing to automat the upload on many different stock sides? Thanks for your tip...

@kameliyailieva7415 2 года назад

Great video with very useful information! I would like to ask, does Stocksy approve contributors from Europe? I remember applying 8-9 years ago and I had no chance. Thank you in advance!!!

@ankitkumar-vo4oj 3 года назад

very well explained

@philliphickox4023 Год назад

The last time I was really taking photography seriously, I had to load film into the camera, for stock photo's it was Kodachrome 25 or 64. I am finding the technical side a little challenging, but with digital it is so easy to do so much more.

Do you share still photos with Pond5? I am hearing they do better with video.

Do have a updated video on stock Photography as well as any new ways to earn money

@heydendra 3 года назад

Shutterstock always annoys me with similar reasons for rejection, even though the poses and gestures of the model are different, but it's still the same concept. I was forced to make a photo collage by combining several photos, for one collage I can fill five to ten photos, so photos can be accepted even though the portfolio looks not good.

@dmmchugh3714 Год назад

Are images uploaded to these sites with the photographer's watermark?? Sorry, I'm new to all this...

@iamcatklein 3 года назад

Great info. Just FYI, I am lucky to be a Stocksy contributor and we've never had a partnership with Getty.

@LearnStockPhotography 3 года назад

Hi Carolyn, You are right! I misspoke and what I meant to say is that Stocksy is now distributed on Adobe Stock. The one that is on Getty is EyeEm

@susanmarie2231 Год назад

What is the best agency if your photos are taken with an iPhone?

@jimwilliams5099 3 года назад

Run your audio through an equalizer, pick up the high side some. Sound is not always clear to old ears.

@CasianoMarcos 2 года назад

I thought istock sold to Getty, but I still see adds for it So as of now I can't upload to it.

@pevidex 4 года назад

Hi, with this change from Shutterstock, do you still keep it as your favorite?

@juliefrancoeur6003 4 года назад

Hi Pevidex, as you can see from the title, Shutterstock never was my favorite agency, I much prefer Adobe Stock and that was the case before the change of royalties on June 1st! I'm waiting for the end of June before creating a follow up on my SS earnings and I'll post about it on the channel.

@aliharper7633 3 года назад

Great info! Please note that Stocksy however does not distribute to Getty.

Adobe gives Creative Cloud for 300 images over what time frame? 300/year?

@romiemiller7876 3 года назад

Shutterstock is nearly impossible to deal with. I had a photo rejected for not having a model release, but it was an editorial photo. Shutterstock prohibits releases with editorial photos. Another was rejected for the subject being out of focus. The camera was on a tripod, manually focused under magnification, and the mirror was locked up. I was tack sharp. After a number of these issues I quit Shutterstock. Personally, I sell more with Alamy, but payout is really slow.

@smooth111012 3 года назад

@MA-hd4or 3 года назад

you have not used the word "editorial" even once in your video which is a mistake. I make more than 70% of my sales in editorial and ss and istock are the only two from your list that offer that option.

@LenaLena-pb2gc 2 года назад

Hi, I have very important thing for you about your stock pictures. Please reply me and I will discuss about it.

@ShortJourneys702 Год назад

Obvious Shutterstock super hit and miss. Stuff Adobe accepted, but not Shutterstock. Shutter was saying I had a logo as reason for rejection... It was a picture of the Desert in Peru!

@OM3N1R 2 года назад

The inconsistency in Shutterstock review processes is INFURIATING

@LearnStockPhotography 2 года назад

I completly agree with you! I do submit to Shutterstock but I focus my energy on Adobe Stock, they are much better

Everybody should stop submitting to SS now! And disable their account. No money for us, no money for SS #ContributorsMatter

Start your own online agency. No commission. No-one else dictating anything.

@thepanel2935 3 года назад

@@IndiaVisuals early 2000s is far, far different to now. Images prices fetched back then were higher, but websites costs were huge to establish, run and maintain. It's never easy either way. Masterfile hit the wall a while back. Corbis got bought out and shut down. That really hit me, and Chuck O'Rear, hard.
