Who would you invite to the forum?

And why....

 

I would go for Greg Balfour Evans

 

His name appears regularly in the images found threads and he has over 96,000 images on Alamy ( all under that name), the most recent being in February 2024 of Hawaii. He clearly travels a lot because prior to Hawaii there are pics of Guatemala and Central America in January 2024.

 

Also, he used to run an agency to which I contributed in the early 1990s! ( though never had any sales). To his credit when that agency struggled and eventually closed he hung on to the slides and I was able to get them returned a few years later. I do remember the agency address gradually changing from central London to less grand locations....

 

I think he is from New Zealand originally and has a story or two to tell about stock photography.

 

A recent sale reported which will lead you to his pics

I still come across established photographers, mostly amateur, who still have never heard of Alamy. One chap I was talking to last week, a photo competition winner had never heard of Alamy

 

I only heard about it by word of mouth. One of my colleague's ex boyfriends sold on Alamy. She said his photos were rubbish so I should have no problem 🤣

I first heard of Alamy when I was reading an Amateur Photographer magazine back in 2008 and that is when I joined.

They were running an article on what to do with your photos to earn some money.

Tell me about it. Abe was one of the good guys.

Thay quote is it seems the entirety of what he had to say about photography - so he has done his bit on the forum.😀

Nice of Abe to drop by, though. 🤭
