I’ve been wondering how successful the Flickr/Getty program was. Sounds like it can be worthwhile

Thank you so much for writing this. It touched my heart. I was unable to sleep because my fears woke me up. I think I can rest now that I know I am not alone. God has a way of making all things right. I am so thankful.

HaHaHAHA – Getty is a rip. Locking up good photography for two years at a time, and for what? … For an average of $31.03 an image.

… More money in the fine photography market, 1, just ONE, buy there nets double and up. And good photography there doesn’t lose it’s respect.

Thomas, thanks for researching and compiling these statistics. I’ve been wondering how successful the Flickr/Getty program was. Sounds like it can be worthwhile if you have enough images. 20-30% payout is WAY too low in my opinion though.

[...] Over at the Getty Images Contributor Group on Flickr (it’s private and you have to be an accepted Flickr/Getty photographer in order to see it) there have been a number of threads started over the past few months where Getty/Flickr contributors have posted and shared basic information about how their sales are going through the Flickr/Getty partnership thus far. While it is probably far too early to accurately ascertain a lot of the statistics on how things are truly going, I thought I’d compile some of this information as anecdotal. [...]

Nice synthesis of those anecdotal stats.

20% to 30% for the photographer is highway robbery.

(or maybe information super-highway robbery)

Good post Thomas!
