Stock Photographers

Stock Photographers Wanted

I found this information on Craig's List. Because it is a royalty-free agency, I can't recommend you actually sign with them, but you should check out their website to see what they are looking for and their contracts so you can see the conditions involved with payment. http://www.stockfoundry.com

There are many stock photography agencies out there, but the two biggest are Getty Images (located here in L.A.) and Corbis (owned by Microsoft.) These two agencies have led the way on reducing the amount of money photographers see for individual licenses on their images. In the days when I had work with two agencies, photographers saw 50% of each license of their work. These days, the royalty rate for photographers is less than 20% and photographers subsidize a huge amount of the agency overhead.
