Five sales dropped in yesterday. Maybe "drop" is not the right verb as one of these was used May 5th and I've been reminding Alamy about invoicing several times. Distributor sale, so I earned $ 1.69 for each. At least two of them were used by Finnish Broadcasting company YLE (Finnish equivalent for BBC). https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-11336433 https://yle.fi/uutiset/3-11411407 Ambivalent feelings. As a tax payer I'm happy YLE is not throwing money away. As a stock photographer I'm not happy being exploited like this.

True, but what you see on Friday is Thursday's views.

Yep, measures not working. No views since Thursday. No zooms either, but that's normal... 😃

Just for the sake of conversation... getting 50 % of the very low price you have obviously marked the image as exclusive. Some would say that album cover is a piece of art, which should not be marked as exclusive (according to Alamy). Some others might say it's only a cardboard package to protect vinyl record inside and maybe help to sell the product, just like - say - a box around toothpaste tube. What's your stand on this? Art or marketing?

17 sales reported, mostly distributor sales to Finnish media meaning very little money. $150 gross and $60 net. My average earning per image was $3.50. Had no sales in September and not expecting much from November as this distributor (All Over Press) seems to be invoiced bi-monthly. 11 zooms with CTR 0.88, which is above my average. Haven't really uploaded anything for a long time.

Editorial royalty-free. 'One use in a single editorial article used within print and /or web versions, with re-use of the article in other titles or web versions within the same newspaper group. Digital use includes archive rights for the lifetime of the article. Any placement in paper and online. $ 22.85. Michael Jackson (Thriller) - oil painting on canvas by Dawn Mellor - at On the Wall exhibition in EMMA contemporary art museum in Espoo, FInland. Non-exclusive, so 40 % for me. This image was zoomed in June, could be related.

I've had only 38 sales so far. One image has been used four times and one image twice. I've been active just about 16 months, that might explain the low level of repeat-sellers.

Good point. One may argue, that plywood box texture and other graffitis and tags visible (shown more in the original image) give enough context to justify the image as an original piece. I have loads of street art and some actual paintings at museums in my portfolio. None of them are marked exclusive, all are marked Sell for editorial only. Alamy has removed some of my San Francisco murals, that's all. In my opinion, street art is very temporary art form. Almost like a performance. Shooting street art is part of street photography, perpetuating something that is soon gone.

Well, my image contained only a stencil graffiti of Jesus. The verse was added by the image thief.

Just found my first stolen image from Pinterest. Feel like a big boy now... Not worth reporting, I suppose.

Royalty-free. Country: Worldwide. Usage: Presentation or newsletters, Use in a presentation/talk (eg,Powerpoint and Keynote) or in a newsletter. Start: 13 October 2020. End: 13 October 2025. $ 12.99 Tenderloin district street view with supportive housing hotels in San Francisco, United States of America. Zoomed ("san francisco tenderloin") on Monday, reported yesterday. Shot four years ago. Oh, those innocent times when one could actually travel abroad...

I'm one of those lesser photographers so I can't really relate to feelings of greater ones. However, it annoys me to see lesser images used in newspapers and other publications.

Happy to have one of those reasonable sales every other month. Editorial website; Duration: 5 years; Worldwide. $36.13. Customers in front of Lentävä Lehmä, yellow cheese vendor stall at Hakaniemi temporary indoor market hall in Helsinki, Finland. Image was used in Monocle and reported in a month. Reasonable time, reasonable price.

13 distributor sales with $5.61 gross each (one was licensed twice). All RF, Finland, editorial website. My share was $21.97. My problem is that there isn't much other demand for my images. $1.69 net is just discouraging.

I had 13 of those Finnish distributor sales reported today. Same prices as Phillip and Jorge. To my understanding it's All Over Press reporting their licences bi-monthly. Phillip and Jorge, here's links to articles, if you're interested: https://www.mtvuutiset.fi/aihe/prinssi-edward/7253942 https://www.iltalehti.fi/matkajutut/a/94eae1f3-274f-4ed2-920c-0c6a8db50c31
