МИКРОСТОКЕРАМ ПРОБОВАТЬ СЕБЯ
В МАКРО (GETTY, CORBIS И Т.Д.)
Should successful microstockers try macrostock (Getty, Corbis, etc)?
Microstock images in traditional market
Alamy, PantherMedia, SuperStock, MonkeyBusiness
Price - Service - License
Easy ingestion, potentially much more income
Agencies = technology & Customers
Tech: PhotoShelter, ImageSpan, etc
PressMaster, MonkeyBusiness, Yuri, Andres
Costs!!!
Industry networking
Compatibility with iStock
Before change was easy decision
Works for top contributors
Quality to compete
Quantity to profit
New image disadvantage
Started between 2002 - 2005 best chance
Expensive - lots of input, expensive skills, time
Scaling difficult
Slower ROI
Creativity becomes worth less
Shortens ROI period
Everybody doing the same
Threat from buyers, not content
Heavy investment in iStock
Locked down Flickr
Older than micro
Quality gap - searching time
Many stock shots can’t be made for free
No releases
Already bigger, but we’re still here
No releases
Different purpose
Already bigger, but we’re still here
$10,000 per shoot (not in Russia)
Professional models
Quality is most important
Very little studio
Carefully chosen locations
Same countries as macro 10 years ago
Usual stock favourites: business, medical, beach, home lifestyle
The best. Usually Canon. Usually 1Ds Mark 3. Sometimes 5D Mark 2.
Lenses F2.8 zoom and low aperture primes
Natural light - reflectors & diffusers
Consistent among top contributors:
Bright, light, vibrant colours
Fill iStock queue - 120 per week
5000 frames per shoot
200 selects per shoot
6 shoots per month (not shooting every month)
Either exclusive with iStock
...or distributed VERY widely
Micro up, macro down
Micro agencies growing, contributors struggling
Lots of photos, contributors suffering
Top agencies dominate, small & new agencies struggle
Top agencies are in control - they hold the most scarce resource: buyers
Fewer contributors, prices rising
Greater variety of prices on agencies
Something new??
