As old stock and microstock agencies fails, like a forest after a fire, new shoots spring up from the leaf litter. I’ve been watching this with interest and there are few newer agencies that look quite interesting, as always most of the make the commitment to the photographer, via the best rates of commission or some other carrot to entice people away from other agencies, but as we’ve seen in the past, that often goes out of the window once they become huge payers in the game. So watch this space, I’ve uploaded a test set of 10 images for initial approval to gain trust with the agency, we’ll see if they’re approved or not, if they are I’ll start uploading and tracking the sales, to see if they’re as good as they claim.
UPDATE: Forgot to mention, that their current lead time for approval is about 130 hours, that’s about 5.5 days and weekends don’t count, so you can probably safely assume that it’s a full week to turn new images around. Again. we’ll see how accurate that is.
