TeeCee Posted March 22, 2017 Share Posted March 22, 2017 Hi Graeme, welcome to the forums. You already have an Alamy account, but no images for sale. You need to submit three technically perfect images to be checked by QC.(No-one is interested in the artistic merit of these). Once you're through the initial quality control, you simply upload lots of images, and when they sell, you'll get paid. Here's a link that'll help. http://www.alamy.com/contributor/how-to-sell-images/best-place-to-sell-stock-images-photos/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kumar Posted March 23, 2017 Share Posted March 23, 2017 Well it does seem obvious that the OP (Graeme, Jace Photography) may be in Alamy through/with some agency, and only now realizes that he can contribute directly to, besides his agency representation. He has apparently not yet uploaded any images DIRECTLY as a contributor - something he may well do, unless his agency (at Alamy) prohibits any such direct submissions as part of the contract he may signed. Just my view.You may well start submitting DIRECTLY at Alamy, if your other agency contract permits you to, It really doesn't make much economic sense to contribute to Alamy though another agency, as that way stand to lose some commission TWICE - to Alamy, and to YOUR Agency. Just think it over.Kumar, India Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
