[...] because the industry seems to have been turned upside down. The content which looks like UGC is all the rage at Getty and other traditional agencies, created by professional photographers (and recently Flickr [...]

Hi Yuri, thanks for the great info!

Just wondering, when you say
“The return per image in the higher priced collections are about the same as in the micro priced collection”
Do you mean your micro image collection across all micro channels combined has the same RPI and Getty alone, or are you referring to a single micro channel?

Yeah…I don’t know. You might be right Yuri. When I first started with the Getty/Flickr collection they were accepting just about every photo I threw at them. Now they have drasticallly tightened up and in my last submission I only had 3 accepted out of 56. I still think they will let technicals slide a little if the content is good.

My post at the top of this page must be one of those tecnho-jokes you spoke of in your other article. I wrote that for a completely different feature you posted.

With reference to Getty. I can’t understand what is going on with them!?! I submitted work nearly two years ago which was excepted as ‘photographers choice’ as it will be now-a-days (a friend of mine and one of the top wildlife and nature photographers in the UK also has to submit his work as Photographers choice), but they still haven’t made it into the collection yet. Even after numerous emails and calls I continue to be told they are being dealt with and they will go live within a couple of weeks. Each time those two weeks pass I have to call again and explain that I’m still waiting. It has reached the point were I will not have to pay the $50 fee for uploading the next batch of images to the ‘PC’ collection due to the inconvenience I’m having to injure – but it still goes on. It just amazes me that the leaders in the traditional stock market conduct themselves this way. Newbies are gonna find this avenue difficult if all are treated the same way as i have been. Rant over…………..
