TheSaintlyOne Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Not really sure why Alamy does not have the clout in news given its event coverage, I see very few images in Papers given that every event usually has an Alamy photographer in attendance. ???????????????

spacecadet Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 The problem is that news is your mainstay, but it isn't Alamy's. Of course they date quickly when they go to the main collection. A varied collection is the way to go, and it's a numbers game. For a general collection there are far too many similars in a news take. Think about how many really different images you have-probably less than a couple of hundred. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paulstw Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 I have 4 sales, 13 Zooms, and 6402 views (only been on ALamy for 9 months). I would reckon half my pics are strictly editorial. I've started limiting the amount of similars I'm putting up because I see views as the devil, zooms interesting and sales even better. If I have a category of picture or loads of the same I avoid taking anymore, unless I can better it, usually adding people, emotion or a story to be told. It's a lot harder than it sounds but its a lot of fun and very challenging. Got to take my hat off to those living off Alamy funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
