"Your Alamy portfolio page"
KerinF replied to Matt Ashmore's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Definitely agree with the 'select all' feature, and ability to re-order tabs. Set up a couple of galleries to play around with it, but didn't realise they would be locked in that order -

Thank you everyone for your suggestions! Very helpful.

Hello all, hoping some of you in the U.K. can offer suggestions here. My daughter has settled in London for a few years. For Christmas, looking at getting her a gift voucher that can be purchased online to a good camera store, preferably one with a few outlets in London so she can choose one near her home or work. Any suggestions?

Two more sales for me reported in past 24 hours. Both of them editorial/RM images - i think all the rest of mine have been RF/released to date

There is quite a good article on this topic from the NYT a couple of years back: http://lens.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/04/23/paris-city-of-rights/?_r=0 (Apologies if it was already posted, have come into the discussion a little bit late, but on a quick scroll, couldn't see it.) Personally, over the last 4-5 years, I would say I have been leaning more and more towards Bill's views on this one, irrespective of the strict legal position. Perhaps it is the rise of Facebook/Instagram/Etc, but I do believe that people have become more cautious (or even hostile), and as Bill's example shows, with good

photography after shoulder injury
KerinF replied to sparks's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Sorry to hear of your injury. I know you mentioned that a strap won't assist right now because of the difficulty lifting your shoulder, but when you are on the mend, I would recommend it. I recently bought a Black Rapid sport strap and it has made a huge difference in terms of neck, shoulder and upper back pain. (They also come left and right handed). I was getting to the point where I really couldn't wear the camera around the neck except for short stints. When going hiking, I was fumbling around with camera, neck straps, backpacks, etc. I recently had a few days away with the Black Rapi -
On the topic of selfies - this is a hoot!

I just noticed that about 181,000+ EyeEm marketplace images have gone live on Alamy. Not sure how recently this happened. For those that are EyeEm contributors (including myself), we have known this was due to happen for a little while now. EyeEm previously had an exclusive distribution arrangement with Getty, but with Alamy coming on board as a partner, the Getty arrangement is no longer exclusive. EyeEm is predominantly, though not only, phone images. So while Stockimo images continue to be added Shutterstock, EyeEm images are also now competing with Stockimo images on Alamy. Swings an

Getty buys Corbis
KerinF replied to Ed Endicott's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
And here's a thought: is the Stockimo / Shutterstock distribution deal the thin edge of the wedge? Will the Corbis / Getty deal prompt Alamy and Shutterstock into a merger / larger distribution deal? Is everything headed towards 3 mega agencies - getty/corbis, alamy/shutterstock amd fotolia (adobe)? And then some niche players. -
Getty buys Corbis
KerinF replied to Ed Endicott's topic in Stock photography discussion and contributor experience
Anyhow, on the historic archive point, an article in the Time states that Getty will manage Corbis physical archives on behalf of VCG, and continue to look at ways of digitizing / commercialising that content
