Reimar Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Quick question: does Alamy provide images to Robert Harding for re-distribution? I found a few of my images at RH and am trying to figure out how they got there. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 I thought it was the other way round but maybe they have a reciprocal arrangement. Pearl 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 Yes, they are in the "agencies" list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted January 31, 2020 Author Share Posted January 31, 2020 Thanks John. At least I get a percentage out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riccarbi Posted January 31, 2020 Share Posted January 31, 2020 (edited) So, when you sign with RH, you are required to submit your photos "on an image exclusive basis", which means that you can't sell them on Alamy, but they are free to use your Alamy photos as they like without your explicit consent? What's the point with Alamy to accept such an apparently disadvantageous agreement? Furthermore, if published, are those pictures credited to Author/Alamy or to RH Picture Library?

Isn't that showing all the agencies that have images on Alamy with the keywords 'Toronto'? Not showing where Alamy images are with other agencies. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Robinson Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 They have suddenly started coming up in large numbers in Google image searches. I was with RH years ago and left because they increased their percentage. Looks like I'm still with them - and getting even less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe that Reimar was asking the opposite question -- i.e. does RH have images with Alamy, which it apparently does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reimar Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Oh - those are images from RH on Alamy. No, I was wondering how at least 7 of my images ended up on RH. I thought of Alamy first, but it could be age. It's not UIG. Micro sites wouldn't count either. So, I'm not sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

riccarbi Posted February 1, 2020 Share Posted February 1, 2020 (edited) Quote Quick question: does Alamy provide images to Robert Harding for re-distribution? This would be very, very strange. I can understand RH selling my pictures on Alamy, even if they would earn me less than selling them on Alamy directly. But, I cant' get the point of Alamy selling contributors' images through RH; that would benefit nobody except RH. It looks to me a logical short circuit, am I wrong? Maybe Reimar signed with RH years ago, and doesn't remember it? Edited February 1, 2020 by riccarbi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reimar Posted February 1, 2020 Author Share Posted February 1, 2020 Yeah, it looks like it is age that re-distributes to RH, not alamy. I've stopped uploading to age due to low sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
