Flickr and Getty Images

[dTEA]

What would you do if Getty Images invited to submit to their pool for Royalty Managed and Royalty Free photos? Good opportunity or avoid like the plague?  I'm tempted.

I'd get the f*ck right in there, unless it's their version of the micro-income images market - Getty are image royalty.

It may well be micro-stock but I'm far from pro  and as far as I understand it's agreed pricing prior to release of the photo. Anyone else been approached?

 How did they find out about your work? Just flickr?

I'm on Getty through Flickr, only since about May though so not that long as yet. When I got invited I was a little bit dubious as you don't see a massive amount of comission from sales, but then I realised that I don't see any comission from photos sitting on my hard drive doing nothing so it had to be worth a go!!

[dTEA]

Yeah just through Flickr and I don't see myself as great by any means but that's what make it more enticing as I am steadily learning. I know that it's not microstock as its royalty paid or royalty free and you remain in control as they can be put forward by Getty but not agreed by you.

Winso have you sold any this way yet?

[Winso]

Not sold any as yet unfortunately 

This is what I've got on there at the moment...
