Shutterstock is one of two giants in the field of selling pictures in microstock, is headquartered in the United States and sells images by subscription. Subscribers can download 25 images per day for a fixed price. The site has huge profits by selling images and video in large quantities. If you want to sell your photos and do a lot of sales, the first step is to register here . Photographers are rewarded according to the following table:
- $ 0.25 per photo sold if the total earnings sono sotto i 500 dollari
- 0,33 $ per foto venduta se i guadagni totali sono tra i 500 ed i 3.000 dollari
- 0,36 $ per foto venduta se i guadagni totali sono tra i 3.000 ed i 10.000 dollari
- 0,38 $ per foto venduta se i guadagni totali sono oltre i 10.000 dollari
Ad inizio di agosto 2008 è stato introdotto un nuovo tipo di abbonamento per gli acquirenti che consente loro di acquistare foto con dei crediti che possono essere utilizzati liberamente entro un anno e questo consente un maggiore guadagno per i fotografi, da un minimo di 0,81 dollari ad un massimo di 2,85 dollari per foto scaricata. La differenza di prezzo dipende dalle dimensioni the picture is downloaded and the level of total earnings of the photographer
While a photo is sold with extended license earns $ 28.
Subscribers can order a backup CD containing the downloaded files in that month and if your picture is on the CD you have an extra income of $ 0.05.
The site is pretty strict on the quality of the images, especially with regard to noise (due to high ISO) and the mesa in focus. Photographs that are rejected often have a good subject, but with the presence of noise. Therefore I strongly recommend using a good software for noise reduction - as NeatImage or Noise Ninja - which helps to solve the problem. Even photos that seem to place may be rejected because the subjects are out of focus: try to improve them, perhaps with Photoshop and relive it again revised the photo could be a solution. Inspectors may reject images with unusual cuts, but I have tried reloading the same image without changing it, adding a detailed explanation of why the photo was taken in that way, with the result that I was finally accepted.
editorial photography - pictures taken at concerts or events can not be used in advertising, can instead be used for magazines and newspapers, like the photos that you have taken to a concert of a famous singer. You do not need a permit from shooting people, but enough to indicate that the photo is for editorial use. Do not send photographs of people from whom you have not received permission to broadcast their image.
After registering you'll be prompted to upload the scan of your ID. If you do not have a scanner can easily do a photo of your identity card and glue the front and back in one picture. Likewise, you can take a picture of the document by which a person or model che ti autorizza a utilizzare la sua immagine.
Completate queste procedure, dovrai caricare 10 foto che verranno controllate per vedere se hanno una buona qualità e possibilità di vendita. Se almeno 7 immagini saranno approvate, il tuo account verrà attivato e le foto appariranno subito nel tuo portfolio. Se meno di 7 immagini saranno ok, allora dovrai aspettare un mese prima di rifare il test. Il numero di tentativi è illimitato finché gli ispettori non si stuferanno della tua scarsa qualità. Ma ricorda che ad ogni test fallito dovrai aspettare un altro mese, quando le tue foto potrebbero invece già essere già in vendita. Prendi questo test molto seriamente e prima di caricare le 10 foto, controllale molto attentamente o falle controllare da qualcuno più esperto di te che potrà darti i giusti consigli. Esiste un sito http://www.microstockgroup.com/ dove si possono postare le proprie immagini ed avere un giudizio da chi ha già iniziato questa attività prima di te.
Prendi quindi le tue 10 migliori immagini che devono essere di differenti soggetti e con la minima presenza di rumore e una messa a fuoco ottimale. Non dimenticare di allegare ad ogni immagine, dove sono presenti persone riconoscibili, la relativa autorizzazione cliccando su “I want to submit model release now”.
Many fail the test on the first try and having obtained the first refusal, no longer tries to revise the test. I only on the first try I could not pass it, but the second time I brought a lot of new photos and more interesting as a subject in which I have done much attention to quality with the result that I have validated 9 out of 10.
Shutterstock Another peculiarity is, after you upload your photos, automatically checks the spelling of your keywords that you entered so you can detect errors and correct them. If you see that there are changes to be made, holes directly on the file (perhaps using Photoshop) so you will not have any upload them on all the microstock sites where you upload the image. Many words, though correct, may not be recognized by the control program, but if you're sure they are correct, then you can save them without any corrections.
You must accumulate at least $ 75 to get paid. There is a minimum payment of $ 100 as indicated in default, but you can lower it to $ 75. Payments for months before they are sent in the first days of next month. I started selling in October 2007 and December had reached the sum of $ 108: I requested the payment on January 1 and after three days had already credited to my account Paypal.Puoi select the payment method you want from those available in the "My Account" section.
To register using this link and will be reported directly to the administration that you were by me.
