ernest Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 How many photographers are contributing to Alamy ? How many are really active ? Any idea, any number...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The contrib section says over 30,000. Most agencies have a 80/20 split in that only 20% are truly active at any one point - I don't know if that would be better or worse with Alamy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dov makabaw Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 The contrib section says over 30,000. Most agencies have a 80/20 split in that only 20% are truly active at any one point - I don't know if that would be better or worse with Alamy. On this basis each contributor has an average of 1,600 images on Alamy. If only 20% are active this would make the average active portfolio about 8,000 images. Your guess is as good as anyones. dov Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Scott Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just to bring this up to date ... In a post on the Microstock forum, dated 8th August 2014 Alamy states that they have 37,000+ contributing photographers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martin P Wilson Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Just to bring this up to date ... In a post on the Microstock forum, dated 8th August 2014 Alamy states that they have 37,000+ contributing photographers. Yes but how many are active, have uploaded 10 or more images in the last year say? How many have uploaded more than once in last year, last three months or even more than the initial QC batch?

clupica Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 That would include me Martin. I haven't uploaded in more than 18 months. So worried about the sin bin that I can't get motivated to upload. I finally uploaded 17 images yesterday evening and now the waiting begins.

Martin P Wilson Posted September 30, 2014 Share Posted September 30, 2014 Me too in the past, I have had spells where I submitted little or nothing for extended periods due to other pressures and lack of motivation. I am now in the position of having to find a way of making it viable whatever my motivation. I get edgy after uploads even though I haven't had a failure in 4 years but I will, when i don't know but I am only human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RenePi Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 I am new here since a week and another batch with more than 60 images is in queue. Hope they'll get accepted so i can caption and keyword and reach 100 images soon. Just shots from the last year so don't expect me to upload 100 Images per week Don't have so may hq photos in my archive sadly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert M Estall Posted October 1, 2014 Share Posted October 1, 2014 4 uploads for a total of 68 over the past year. I guess that hardly counts as active, certainly not keeping up with the pace of Alamy's running total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
