aphperspective Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Just a curious question what is the most repeat licences from 1 image. I only ask because I have one that is nothing special just a shot of a Supermarket front that was taken while herself was doing the Supermarket trundle. 8 times so far, never pays much but over time has covered the petrol.🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spacecadet Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I have a 16, but it's from 4 images of the same subject so the actual total for a single image would be about 8 or 10, but it's over about 6 years. Maybe half a dozen 4s and 5s. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allan Bell Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I have one image that I knew had licensed a few times and thought that was it.  On doing a quick check there are three repeat sellers with one at 8 times another at 7 times and one at 6 times. There are a few at three or four licenses each too.  Allan  Edited December 16, 2020 by Allan Bell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aphperspective Posted December 16, 2020 Author Share Posted December 16, 2020 This one was shot about 18 months ago so maybe got a bit of legs on it yet then. Always take your camera shopping.😄 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Richmond Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 I've a couple on 8 licences.   and  The red admiral butterfly has had the most varied uses, for a calendar, in a book, on TV and in UK newspapers. Not great prices but they all add up. It's certainly paid for the expense of the 40 foot trip down the garden, 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I counted the thumbnails from my sales history printouts, knowing which image it was. There isn't any easy way to check online, no. I never found a way of getting the sales history into a spreadsheet (so you could search by reference number) without its looking like a dog's dinner.

Avpics Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 It would be a contest between Meghan Markle on her wedding day and my local hospital. About six repeats at a guess of each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It runs a "report" on Alamy. When I have some time I'll see if I can show you how it looks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Easy to do if you use Alamy Lightroom Bridge as it downloads sales data and sales counts, and then you can create a smart collection. I have one taken only last year of a (minor) celebrity which has sold 16 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Ventura Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) I don't know how many sales in all but I have a set of images from a shoot, years ago, that continue to sell. I don't show the photos as they could be copied (with some effort) but they have brought is a gross of $12,838 (gross) since being on Alamy.  Just had another sale from this shoot come in today for high $$! I wish I had more of these types of "evergreen" photos. Edited December 17, 2020 by Michael Ventura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Lowe Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 This usually pops up once a year. 13 sales so far, latest in September this year - all except one for educational/text book, North America. It was one of my first submissions to Alamy. Mont Pourri, French Alps, taken in 1975, Olympus OM1, Kodachrome.    1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 (edited) 40 sales (mainly newspaper web so not a lot of cash) but nothing since a more successful contributor (not, to my knowledge, a forum dweller) took a very similar shot. Indeed three of my best selling images have suffered at the hands of this person. In each case a steady stream of sales evaporated to nothing. Presumably entirely innocent, all predictable newspaper fodder, but very annoying!

John Mitchell Posted December 16, 2020 Share Posted December 16, 2020 Can't think of one image in particular. However, a number of my Latin America (especially Mexico, where I've done a lot of roaming) images license several times per year. They tend to be subjects that have little or no coverage on Alamy, or elsewhere in some cases. Scarcity seems to be the main factor as I don't think that any of my multiple sellers would win any prizes.  It would be really helpful to have stats -- number of views, zooms, sales, etc. -- available for individual images. Hint, hint... 😎 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
