It's possible that I'll reach the $100K mark within two years if things continue to go well. This is something I never expected given that stock photography is very much a part-time pursuit for me. Long live Alamy! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allan Breaking it down, that is roughly one dollar/image. Whereas I am only at 0.60 dollars per image after 12 years. ITMA Allan can you talk me through this? $250.000 income divided by 6000 images sold is $42 per image, or $250.000 income divided by 26000 images in the portfolio is nearly $10 per image. How did you arrive at $1/image? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geoff s Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Excellent achievement. re: The average of $10 per image, that also seems to be an impressive statistic. Is it skewed by better revenue in the early part of your Alamy career ? Anybody else getting similar averages ? And if so, are you getting that in, say, the past 5 years ? Mine seems to be a paltry $1.60 per image, which is light years away from Doc's numbers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 If I divide my total gross earnings from Alamy, since I started in 2005, with total number of images on sale, I get $22/photo. Is it skewed by better revenue in the early years? Yes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I didn't start submitting until mid-2007, so I missed the best years. By the time I started making regular sales in 2008, prices had already dropped considerably. My earnings aren't particularly skewed. My revenue graph looks like a roller coaster with two very noticeable peaks at 2012 and 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Geoff S, For the past 5 years, taking the gross income and dividing by the average number of images over that time the average is $6.7 gross per image, so clearly figures skewed by prices in the early Alamy career. Note that for each year my figures for gross income approximate $1 per image per year these days, which is a slightly different statistic - thats getting worse very year as prices fall generally Kumar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
