[Author Prev] [Author Next] [Thread Prev] [Thread Next] [Author Index] [Topic Index] [Home] [Search]I have been with Photoshelter for several years because they host my website and provide a way for stock buyers to lease photos directly. My contract with them is coming up for renewal at over $500 a year and they are also implementing a new two-step security system which I found too difficult so I've told them to just cancel the whole thing. https://tinamanley.photoshelter.com/index AI has put the final nail in the coffin of stock photography so I don't anticipate selling anything more from there. I'm still getting a few sales from Alamy but not enough to work on adding more photos at this time. I started stock photography when it was still possible to make a living by leasing your photos but those days are gone!! I'll probably just stick with pBase to post my photos. They only charge US$60 yearly for 9000 MB of photo storage. https://pbase.com/tinamanley/root&page=all Good luck!
