Steve Valentia 207 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) My first sale of December dropped in this morning (possibly from the 30th November). A shot of the Millennium Ball at Waterford Crystal factory, nice (low 3 figure) price. What I'm curious about is that it sold to a magazine with a worldwide print run of up to 5 million, for 5 years starting 1st December 2020. Does anyone know which magazines have that sort of print run size? Edited December 1, 2020 by Steve Valentia 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I went there before I posted, to be honest. Couldn't find anything that was close to the 5M. I assume Alamy's categories are broader (up to 2M, up to 5M etc)? Link to post Share on other sites

My guess is that publications over-report to one side and under-report to the other. wim 1 Link to post Share on other sites

geogphotos 3,847 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 (edited) National Geographic maybe. It used to have a circulation of over 6 million a few years back. Try this for global circulation figures once you have the Region info. Edited December 1, 2020 by geogphotos Link to post Share on other sites

The region is US. I was just wondering if it might be National Geographic, when I saw the region. I've hit the Big Time, after 40 years (hopefully!)

Michael Ventura 6,430 Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 National Geographic, back in its prime, was around 10 million circulation. I believe that was in the 1980s and photo budgets were nearly limitless...so I heard. Link to post Share on other sites
John Mitchell 5,366 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Today I had a decent sale (just shy of $$$) to a magazine with a five million print run and the same licensing terms. Must be the same publication. Link to post Share on other sites
Betty LaRue 3,671 Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 (edited) I got two of those today, just shy of $$$. Same terms, US, says “up to 5 million”. Edited December 9, 2020 by Betty LaRue Link to post Share on other sites

Interesting. My image was of public art -- a large BC First Nations cedar sculpture of a killer whale (Orca). What were yours?
