@James Presbitero – Yes people really do buy stock! It’s a multi-million dollar industry and there are a few photographers in the industry who sell over a million dollars worth each year by themselves. There are also smaller niche-oriented sites that sell specific images like ours, http://graphicleftovers.com, which specializes in vectors and design-related images.

Hi, just wondering if people really buy pictures off the stock? Is there any statistics on this? And when a picture is bought, does the photographer still owns the copyright?

Seems like an informative article on selling stock photography but Alamy was totally ignored and they are one of the main places for independent photographers to sell. I run a Yahoo forum called, Selling Stock Photography at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/selling_stock_photography/ so stop by and sign up. There are around 3,000 members to exchange ideas with.

Another (new) way to go: http://www.focalpop.com

Similar to stock/microstock except the buyers request the images they need and photographers can browse those requests and submit their photos. Commissions are high(70%+) and photos usually sell for around $100.

Easiest thing to do is sign up to be notified via email when there are new requests and then participate in any requests that match your style.

I use fotolia. Now try new microstock – depositphotos.com. They`ll pay 100$ to upload photos. Knows somebody about that?

haha Jonny boy out spamming blog comments as usual. Get a real job. “CEO” sitting there all day spamming blogs to get his “big break”

p.s. Clustershot (much like cutcaster) is nothing but a fart project from a web design company: no industry experience, other than bein’ able to score some press because some guy there apparently used to work for Digg. Wowy!
