When you license a stock image for use in your work, you’re really entering into a contract that allows you certain rights to use that image. This week, Stocksy United did a revamp of their image pages that makes it easier for you to purchase the rights you need for your project. Let’s take a look…
Ho, ho, ho! You’ve been hearing Christmas music since Halloween, but I’ve waiting until after Thanksgiving to spotlight my new royalty free stock image series “Santa 2014”. So, grab that cocoa and check out these new photos, perfect for your ad designs.
Last week I spent a day cooking up a storm in my kitchen to create a new royalty free stock image series on the subject of Thanksgiving side dishes. I don’t mind having Thanksgiving a few weeks early in my house, because sometimes I can’t wait for such a great food-centric holiday!
Gobble, gobble! Thanksgiving is just a few weeks away, and what better way to illustrate a holiday article than with some brand new stock images of young turkeys on a farm?
As an “independent contributor”, I am constantly looking for opportunities to expand my distribution of stock images. This week, I’ve decided to take a look at Dreamstime, and I found that while support is helpful, the uploading process is quite painful. So, I’ve written a greasemonkey script to help the process along.
With their recent changes, iStockphoto has essentially left smaller buyers (the occasional buyer, small businesses, churches, students, etc.) in the dust. Read more on this “strategy” here: http://www.michaeljayfoto.com/agency-news/the-new-istock-is-live/ . The buyers aren’t being quiet about their discontent.
iStockphoto is currently having downtime and is unavailable because they’re putting into place their new pricing/credit/purchase scheme. At the time of this writing, I believe it’s been down about 9 hours so far. If you’re needing an alternative for licensing royalty free stock photos, may I offer some alternatives?
Autumn is almost here, and that means it’s almost time to disguise your children and send them out into the streets foraging for chocolates and sweets. Of course, Halloween is coming! Today, I’m going to show how to put together a spooky front door for the Trick-Or-Treaters for a few bucks. You can license an image of the door at Stocksy.com for your design or advertising needs.
Summer is winding down, and the eyes in the sports world are not on professional teams or players, but the Little League World Series, along with its star female pitcher. Coincidentally, I’m featuring a new image series, which is exclusively on Stocksy United featuring a youth baseball team.
Was that the crunch of leaves I heard? The smell of bonfires? The taste of pumpkin beer? We must be coming upon Autumn, and that, of course, means football time here in America! Today I just wanted to go back and highlight some of my past stock images that would be great for advertising during the upcoming season.
