It's an industry in turmoil for sure and changes are ongoing still ... hang on tight, the rough ride continues ... !

Agree with you on this ... but what can be done .. just have to hope that maybe the whole micro system will implode as clients start to show a preference towards unique instead of cheap ! Maybe wishful thinking but nothing surprises me anymore ! I absolutely do not agree with culling images that have not sold in the last twelve months though ... I and many others have been adding for a long time and that adds up to a lot of work ... I would not be happy if these started being removed on that basis alone ! As an example, this image has just been licensed for the first time and was shot in 1996 !!

How about purging all of the collections imported from other agencies that have those same images on multiple agencies and instead promote the exclusive images that individual contributors have here and nowhere else ....

Unfortunately, that was the unique USP at Alamy until, for reasons best known to themselves, they started to import complete collections from other agencies ....
