Photographers Should Know About ‘Zoomr’
Zoomr is a definite breakthrough and is a breath of fresh air in a photo world where excellent photos are not recognized as they once were. Quality oriented photographers should rush to this site. There are many alternatives in the world of stock photography and it has placed pressure on photographers to supply good shots at unreasonable prices in many instances.
I have found a great post which compares this Zoomr house to others such as Picasa and Flickr.
Here’s an extract -
“Kris and Tom want to turn Zooomr into a stock photography website that takes the middle ground between microstock agencies and established agencies like Getty or Corbis. They feel that photo prices at microstock agencies are much too low for photographers, and they agree that the tight control exercised by the traditional stock agencies doesn’t allow up and coming (and talented) photographers the chance to sell their work. They want to create a Marketplace at Zooomr that will sell photos at an average price of $100, and pay 90% of that back to the photographer. This is in stark contrast to what photographers make at other agencies, where they might get at most 40%”.
Making money or starting a portfolio from a stock photography house can be difficult so before jumping in, see my article on stock photography.
…speak soon, Roy.
