formerly snappyoncalifornia Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 So I just snooped around PA Media's website (I am assuming this is the same company) and tried their pricing tool to get a sense of how much they are currently asking for images that I would typically find on Alamy. My search term was "travel". You can try it here: https://paimages.co.uk/search-results/fluid/?q=travel&category=A,S,E&fields_0=all&fields_1=all&imagesonly=1&orientation=both&words_0=all&words_1=all The tool returns very good (high) prices. Of course what the negotiated price would be is another matter. Your thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geogphotos Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 You will get the same sort of high prices using the Alamy calculator. The same with Getty though nobody ever, ever buys at those prices on Getty - it's all through Premium Access. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have occasionally had sales at rack rate there, but note 'occasionally'. Edited February 19, 2020 by Cryptoprocta Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickboden Posted February 20, 2020 Share Posted February 20, 2020 At least I didn't see subscription pricing. That would worry me. Those images look quite dull and lifeless, maybe on purpose. Rick Boden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cryptoprocta Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 Hmmm, a lot of near identical photos. E.g. of a yellow bobsleigh. Looks like the tog did no culling, even put up bracketed files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCat Posted February 22, 2020 Share Posted February 22, 2020 I thought I'd see if they could use my wildlife photos. Yep. I searched for 'elephant' and very few elephants appeared. The first image is a jaguar and some of the images of people don't seem to relate to elephants at all. Their keywording may be even worse than Alamy's.
