Photographers Wanted - - Pros & Advanced Amateurs
Hello,
We are in the process of setting up an entirely NEW TYPE of ‘High Resolution-High Volume' royalty free stock photo website. The site will be launched on or before March 1st. You retain ownership of the copyright to all of your images PLUS, you name and contact information will be displayed next to each of your images…if you so wish. This will generate more business for you direct from the photo buyers. We have thousands of images from our previous website, but we need another 40,000 to 50,000 for the new site. We don't accept just anyone. Your work must be approved before you are permitted to submit images. Please go to: http://RoyaltyFreePhotoMart.com where you can see what we are doing. You will also be able to submit three images for us to evaluate. Submissions can be on any topic (NO PORN and NO CELEBRITY images) glamour and semi-nude images that are of very high quality are welcome. And yes, we accept black & white images. We are in need of photographers from EUROPE and ASIA. Thank you, William Hansen http://RoyaltyFreePhotoMart.com 1 |

Thank you, William Hansen http://RoyaltyFreePhotoMart.com Um, so you want people to give you their photos which you will then sell and pay no royalties on? I know it's not April 1, so I have to wonder if there has been a break-out at an asylum somewhere. -- Google is a proliferator of hate speech, slander and other disgraceful texts. Google allows their system to be used for anonymous trolling without consequence to offenders. Google should be avoided. |

Thank you, William Hansen http://RoyaltyFreePhotoMart.com Um, so you want people to give you their photos which you will then sell and pay no royalties on? No, they do a 60/40 split on a $5 US fee for a 5x7 print only. They don't sell anything else. Photographer gets 40% of that or $2. But here's the "catch": photographer has to pay a $0.48 US per image per year "hosting" fee. So, that's $480 per year for 1000 images, which is not a lot of images for stock. Have to sell a LOT of 5x7s to break even. 240 to be exact. And to have any chance of a good return on stock sales, most any stock house I've dealt with wants you to have at least 1500 to 2000 GOOD images on file to START. And build it up to 5000 or more as quickly as possible. I have a friend who has about 20,000 images on file at the Image Bank. What would his "hosting" fee be per year with this guy? $9600!!! This is a rip off. Any reputable stock image house does the 60/40 split and pays for everything: duping, hosting, shipping, marketing, etc. The photographer get 40% of the gross and fronts or pays nothing to the stock house. -- Stefan Patric NoLife Polymath Group |

A rip off indeed. I didn't even bother going to the spammers site, but thanks for clarifying for us. It would probably be easier & cheaper to host your own stock on your own website. -- Save photography - shoot a roll of film today! |
