1 John Morrison Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 Yes, yes, yes... though the inexhaustible demand for festive imagery seems to be matched by an equally inexhaustible supply... 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Matt Ashmore Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 I agree with John...yes, it sells. On one of the other agencies I submit to, it accounts for about 90% of my sales at the moment.

0 John Mitchell Posted December 20, 2023 Share Posted December 20, 2023 (edited) Yikes! A casual search for "Christmas" on Alamy brings up almost 5.9 million photos. A lot of the results on the first few pages look cliched and "stocky" to me. Most of them are probably available at those "other places" as well. The few Xmas-related images that I've had license here have been more editorial looking (i.e. boring).

Ed Rooney
I see a lot of colorful good images in your ports, but do they sell? Perhaps those of you who keep good records know?
