Sally Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 (edited) In The Times the rate is usually around $130-$150. This month I’ve had three reported at $67. If this is a new rate, then it simply isn’t going to be worth the work. I have emailed to ask why the rate is so different. Anyone else got the same?

Avpics Posted September 27 Share Posted September 27 I didn't spot this one at the time so I can't confirm which newspaper: "Media: Newspaper - national, Print run: up to 2 million, Placement: Inside and online, Image Size: Spot size" $67.34. What is 'spot size'? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two were relatively small but one was a third of a page - same size as ones I have previously received around $150 for. So unless that one is a mistake I can’t understand it. None of the three licenses includes the phrase ‘spot size’. Edited September 28 by Sally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piperand Posted September 30 Share Posted September 30 Saw this comment on another website about someone who had been sent a copyright breach: " They responded saying their photos are much more expensive than Alamys' as they directly employ their own photographers." (Posted recently in Aug 2024). Wonder if this is reason for low fees. Does this mean we are cheap? 🤔 Are they selling us as a cheap alternative? Seems an odd reply...
