8/13/2023 0 Comments Getty search by image![]() Unfortunately, as you can often imagine keywords are not very accurate and for this reason, I suggest you create them manually. Once the photos are imported the website automatically suggests a list of keywords that might be suitable for the photo. The limit for every batch of pictures uploaded is for now 50 photos so that’s a bit of a bummer but in this aspect, EyeEm is far ahead of any other agency. If you regularly back up your files in the cloud, uploading hundreds of photos to EyeEm is really a matter of a few seconds. An interesting thing is that you can now upload your pictures using various Cloud services such as Google Drive and Dropbox.After opening the Market EyeEm worked very hard to increase the number of pictures in their database and I was able to sell quite a few pictures, so at least compared to Imagebrief I’d say that my impression of the EyeEm Market are more than positive.If you have any more information let me know and I will be happy to add it to the post So I don’t know if this is really a good opportunity or not. There are several “missions” but to be honest I’ve never participated in any.But is it really like that? Here are some things you should keep in mind: Selling your pictures on EyeEm: is it worth it?Īs I said before, the premises seem very good and it could seem that selling photos with EyeEm is really a good opportunity. If your pictures will be approved by Getty they will appear on their market (after an undisclosed, and sometimes long period of time).After a while, you’ll get an email with a list of approved photos ready to be proposed to Getty. ![]() Specify if you want to sell you images also on Getty.Then if they are approved by Getty, after a while they appear on the Getty market. It works in this way: once you uploaded your batch to EyeEm, the curators will choose the photos they think are most suitable, and then they will send you an email with the list of selected photos approved to be uploaded on Getty. To be completely clear you won’t be able to upload your pictures directly to the Getty Images website but EyeEm will upload your approved images to Getty for you. Selling pictures on EyeEm: how does it work?įinally, there is the opportunity that perhaps most photographers are most interested in: selling your pictures on Getty Images. It seems like a very good agency, but is it really that good? Is it worth trying it? Here are my opinions based on my experience with this agency. I say with interest because in this case, the premises are more than good: commissions of 50% and the possibility to sell your pictures also on Getty Images (as well as on Alamy). Despite the very good initial premise (50% commission and extremely high sales prices for the photos) unfortunately, Imagebrief failed and went bankrupt.Īnother agency I’m following with interest is EyeEm. Instead of uploading thousands of photos, Imagebrief allowed you to receive customer requests directly via email. That being said, some time ago I talked about a site that offered a different approach to the traditional Microstock agencies: Imagebrief. Obviously, microstock agencies have very different standards and the result is that after a brief period of enthusiasm, they quit as well. Other people approach the microstock with little humility considering themselves the best photographers in the world just because they won some online photo contest. Some people expect to make a lot of money in a short time but, as I have explained here, this is not possible. Unfortunately, most photographers who approach the world of microstock through sites such as Shutterstock, Dreamstime, or Adobe Stock have the wrong expectations, get discouraged, and quit after a short time. But it’s also a good option for you if you want to make some extra money every month and you already have a full-time job. Selling your pictures is a very interesting idea to make money both for those who want to become full-time photographers and for those who want to be digital nomads.
