Yuri Arcurs Home of the world’s top selling microstock photographer

I saw Yuri’s photos for the first time surfing around aimlessly on a couple of stock-sites. I soon started searching directly for more of his photos. I was fascinated by the naturalness, vitality, perfectness and beauty of his photos. Some days later I found myself writing an email and asking to become a model, I followed the guidelines for new models, although I did not really believe in getting a result from that - Ok, I have a nice smile and I am a natural type, but.. I got a reply the next day and was basically invited to Denmark immediately, everything paid for. It toke a few months of finding the right time for a visit and making sure that everything was clarified, but soon I was on my way.

A model release is a formal agreement between the model and the photographer about usage of the images where the model appears. When a model signs a model release he or she acknowledges that images or movies with him or her in them will be used for commercial purposes around the world.

The images and movies cannot be used for just anything, and the agencies that sell images, known as stock agencies, have a long set of “user rights and restrictions” that protects the model and the photographer from abusive usage of the material. The restrictions are very tight, so abusive usage almost never happens.

Here you can see how your images are being used by our buyers.

If you are a model with Yuri Arcurs Productions and you are looking for how your pictures have been used, this is the place. See if you can find your own images.

Because we sell so many images a lot of our models will encounter pictures of themselves going around in the city, surfing the net or looking through their mail. This comes as no surprise considering that we sell over 650000 individual licenses per year, which is equivalent to one sold image every 50 seconds. The list of clients that have bought and used our pictures, include Time Magazine, MSN.com, Sony, Samsung, Vodafone, Microsoft, Hewlett Packard and many many more. Look below and see if you can find yourself.

Special groups of people we really want

Some people are harder to get a hold of than others. We need groups of people from all walks of life and we are willing to give you a great experience, great pictures and sponsor your team or group financially.

We are especially interested in:

• Kindergarten children. A whole class or most of a whole class.
• A soccer team - both female and male.
• Older people, seniors and older couples.
• Groups of friends of up to six people that all want to be part of a shoot.
