I’ve found that having a large collection of images of a few subjects is better than having a few pictures of many subjects. If you decide to join Alamy, here are some tips that will help you succeed: They are also proactive when my images have been used without permission, contacting the offending party and working on a resolution to the problem. * In my experience Alamy offers excellent customer service. When I submit my pictures to Alamy, I simply click a box that states the image is non-released, and it is automatically identified as such to potential photo buyers.
Since most of my work is for the editorial market (mostly travel publications) I do not need releases for my pictures. * Alamy, like many other agencies, accepts non-released images (meaning photos with people in them that don’t have a model release). * Alamy gives photographers a 50% commission, much better than most agencies nowadays. Because I work directly with a number of travel publications and art houses, having an exclusive contract with any agency would have been a deal breaker for me.

Alamy’s contract is non-exclusive, meaning I can join other stock agencies or license my images directly to photo buyers in addition to Alamy. They usually only reject images with technical problems. * Although initial acceptance into Alamy can be a little difficult, once accepted almost 100% of the images I’ve submitted have been approved. After researching a number of other stock agencies, I decided to join Alamy for the following reasons: I have been with Alamy since 2012 and am very pleased by their representation and results.
My work is represented by the British stock agency Alamy. I asked him if he had any tricks up his sleeve for making more sales. Readers who’ve tried selling photos through Alamy report mixed success, but travel photographer Efraín Padro, who sells mostly travel editorial images, makes a nice side-income there. Images tend to sell less often than at other agencies… but for more money when they do. In fact, their website literally says, “You can send us anything.” As an online stock agency, Alamy can be harder to get into, but once you’re in, they take almost any images that are technically sound and fit their guidelines for size and quality.
