AlbertSnapper Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 I had a big licence fee back in January. Today, the licence was renewed/extended. The two sales fees come to the princely sum of $1600.00 gross. So a BIG thank you to Alamy's US team 🙂. 4 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks - you're not far behind. I've been shooting like mad during this C19 panicdemic so that's the reason my image count has gone a lot higher. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only great for the fees, but the fact that the original licence was only for 3 months! I don't think that I've ever had a licence for less than a year - and I haven't seen one of those in, erm , well, years! They're usually 5. 10, or even more, these days. Not fishing, but I'm guessing that it must have been some kind of advertising? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feels pretty cool. Which TV programme was it? Usually, like you say, it just says Alamy. John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original sale for $950 was from one of those emails asking if I'd be willing to give exclusivity for book cover use for 10 years and I agreed to that. However as Alamy changed the restrictions some time ago exclusivity can't be that precise so it was restricted for editorial use for 10 years. This renewal if for a further 25 years of exclusivity and I wasn't asked if I was happy with that. I doubt my particular image would ever sell many times so I'm not complaining in this instance but there is a principle at stake here I think.

I've only ever sold a handful of images for TV use, and i've never seen them on screen. It would be an ego trip to see your name mentioned on the telly! John.

Hello losdemas, It was for a book cover, as with Pearl's post 3 below yours. The picture wasn't that special. Something that we all have at home. And so do your neighbours !
