(c) PixMac.com

On the new microstock photos site PixMax you can download many free pictures like this one ;) If you are a photographer and if you want to make money with your photos, you can try this site. I don't know if they sell a lot of pictures because I subscribe to it today... I'll send some pisctures and see if there is some customers ;) The problem for me is that they sell pictures from Fotolia too and my pictures are on Fotolia. Then, I don't know if it is interesting for me to download pictures on both agencies!

Shutterstock's Editorial Image Collection Rapidly Expanding Thanks to Success of Red Carpet Program

Shutterstock, the world's largest subscription-based online stock photo agency, achieved another industry milestone when its editorial library passed the 100,000th image mark, thanks to the success of its entertainment/celebrity photo program: Shutterstock on the Red CarpetTM. Shutterstock is the only online stock photo agency to offer this unique program, which assists its global network of photographers in getting past the velvet ropes to the hottest events worldwide.

Due to the increased demand among news outlets for affordable, royalty-free editorial images, Shutterstock has become a trusted resource within the news community for its commitment to accuracy and high quality. As a result, Shutterstock's editorial library of newsworthy images is now one of the fastest growing categories in the company's library of almost 5 Million royalty-free images.

Working directly with event organizers, Shutterstock on the Red Carpet obtains coveted press passes to concerts, sporting or public events, and festivals for its network of photographers. Since the program's inception in 2007, Shutterstock's photographers have submitted stock photography from top events such as the 2008 White House Correspondents' Dinner and Sting in concert, as well as stock photos of leading celebrities from Jessica Alba to Brad Pitt, and many more.

"Shutterstock on the Red Carpet is truly a win-win for buyers and photographers," said Jon Oringer, founder and CEO of Shutterstock. "This unique program enables us to provide even more high quality, celebrity and entertainment stock images at affordable prices. Plus, Shutterstock's talented worldwide photographers benefit from our commitment to helping them gain access to the most exciting events across the globe."

Shutterstock's Library Hits 5 Million Images

Shutterstock, the world's largest subscription-based online stock photo agency, announce the landmark addition of its 5 millionth image to the company's extensive collection of premium stock photos. Thanks to its popular subscription-based model, speedy review process, and consistent stream of quality submissions, Shutterstock continues to hit new industry growth milestones while maintaining high standards of image quality. "Since January, we have added over 2 million new royalty-free images to our library, and our weekly library growth rate has recently reached more than 70,000 new images per week," said Jon Oringer, founder and CEO of Shutterstock. "We are extremely proud to reach the 5 million image mark, especially while maintaining our stringent standards for accepting new images. We are certainly grateful to our global base of more than 120,000 talented submitters who provide our subscribers with a steady pipeline of great creative content." Shutterstock's diverse library provides a wealth of fresh creative and editorial content, rivaling traditional stock photography agencies, yet at far lower prices.

"As media companies and creative firms look for ways to save money, more and more decision makers are choosing Shutterstock to provide high quality stock images at significant savings," said Adam Riggs, president of Shutterstock. "Since launching Shutterstock, we have remained committed to providing the best content at affordable prices. That's why we're confident that we will continue to meet the demands of today's marketplace."

"Our goal is to be the first microstock agency to fully incorporate editorial content in our offering".

What is "microstock"?

Affordable image agencies such as YAY Micro are called microstock. Microstock agencies sell digital content at low prices. The content is created and uploaded by the site's community contributors. The contributors get a 50 % commission every time their content is bought and downloaded.

For customers this entails the availability of a large amount of both professional and "odd" images and illustrations at affordable prices. Many small companies, magazines and blogs have never had the budgets to use images. Now everyone can afford great images, both the private consumers and large companies.

RUBRIQUE - VENDRE SES PHOTOS

Bien qu'étant photographe amateur, je vend mes photos sur internet en passant par des banques d'images en ligne que l'on appelle les microstocks photos aux Etats-Unis.

J'en ai une très bonne expérience car je participe à ces sites depuis le début, c'est-à-dire 2004. Je les ai vu se développer pour certains... certains aussi sont apparus puis ont disparus...

Vous trouverez sur ce blog une présentation de ces sites ;

des conseils pour réussir son inscription pour les sites filtrants les participants ;

des conseils pour préparer vos photos avant de les envoyer pour inspection ;

les astuces pour vendre davantage de photos ;

je vous propose aussi une aide en ligne en répondant aux questions que vous me laisserez dans les commentaires ou par e-mail.

En outre ces sites sont également ouverts aux illustrations en vectoriels. J'élargirais un peu le champ du blog pour donner des infos utiles sur le dessin vectoriel.

D'autres types d'illustrations sont également possible. Cela dépend des sites et mérite quelques précisions. Peut-être que ce blog pourrait permettre de mettre en contact des dessinateurs ou peintres et des photographes pour un travail en commun... On verra bien... de toute manière, pour l'instant, je n'ai pas tellement de visiteurs :)

Ces sites s'ouvrent également progressivement aux vidéos. Je vous préciserais en quoi cela consiste.

En attendant, vous pouvez consulter le blog suivant : http://gautier.blogzoom.fr à la rubrique "Vendre ses photos sur internet"

Vous pouvez aussi vous inscrire gratuitement sur PixBurger en cliquant sur le lien ci-dessous pour vous faire une idée sur ce types de sites. L'avantage de celui-ci est qu'il est en français alors que beaucoup sont en anglais.
