I have a question. I am making photos, but the biggest part of my work is illustration. Not like ribbons or web-elements, something more time-taking and less selling. I was thinking if it is more useful to go to macrostocks. I dont think they will sell many times even at Shutter. I think it is better to have more money selling them for bigger fee. Can You advise some good macrostocks with good balance between % and sells? Very usefull information thank you very much. I have a question.

Ive been invited to join Getty via some of my images on Flickr but am wondering if its a good invitation to accept to sell stock photography with them? I still need to submit my images to them and get model releases ect, but I noticed it wasnt mentioned in your article so am wondering what you think of them as a agency? Hello Yuri,

But now that you are delving into the video aspect of production will you make an update to your review for agencies that also handle video stock? As for myself I produce mainly fractals and some CG 3D slogans. Thank you for taking the time to share some of your insights with regard to the microstock and related fields.

Wondering, if you would like to submit to stockfuel.com as well. http://stockfuel.com, although smaller, has a great collection of stock photography and is growing. Feel free to upload if you have the chance. Fotolia might be used in the near future, so not sure if that already includes your great collection.
