Since the microstock ship has begun to sink, thanks the Shutterstock coup de gr\u00e2ce<\/em>, I gave some thoughts about escaping the frustration of the current situation.
\nIt saddened me to see the Stock Coalition profile photos on FB : so many stunning images from many talented photographers on one side, and the fight for a few cents or (occasionally) a few dollars on the other.
\nThis is not right.
\nThese images tell a story: nobody should ever have to sell them this way.<\/p>\n

Thanks to the suggestion of Alex Rotenberg’s Brutally Honest Guide to Microstock<\/strong><\/a> I applied to Arcangel<\/strong><\/a>, a stock agency that licenses images for book and disk covers. I had applied in the past in a lazy way and was discarded. Now, trying really to understand the mood of their images (and having fun doing it), I sent 20 resized pictures on one Sunday night and on the Monday morning after was instantly accepted!<\/p>\n

Here a first batch of images:
\n<\/a>
\nI don’t know if this new adventure will sale well (if at all) but:
\n– in few days I learned about image processing more than in a decade
\n– I discovered the difference that ought to be between microstock and stock (the subject of my next post)
\n– I DON’T have to do the keywording job \ud83d\ude00 (I hate it even if is of paramount importance)
\n– I keep having fun discovering in my hard disks images not yet published and processing them in a quite different and emotional way<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
