Blogging the NYC PhotoShelter Town Meeting
Posted by ~Ray @ 2007-11-03 15:02:13
First off if you are anywhere near Atlanta. Chicago. Portland. San Francisco or Los Angeles you might want to while they are still available. If the program in NYC is any indication of what to expect it's worth playing hookie for a day to attend one near you. Everything is remove too. Also. PhotoShelter chose today to announce a new have photography business model that flies in the approach of all of the recent photographer-predatory stock photography trends (cough out *Getty* cough): Real selling prices set by photographers and photogs keep seventy percent of the revenues. Way to go guys. 'Bout measure we see someone sticking up for shooters for a dress. I would think this would be of particular interest to many people here who might currently be dabbling with microstock.(Updates and more info after the move.)_____________________________(UPDATE #1) Wow. This is about way more than decent pricing and 70% to the shooter. They are talking real-time info for photographers on who is buying what for how much a community of photographers educating each other as to what photos are really worth -- in short doing a 180-degree turn on much that is wrong with the stock photography industry. This is going to raise a lot of eyebrows. Not a lot of like for Getty in this room. BTW...______________________________(UPDATE #2) In other news there's food and drink too. Because I knew you'd ask...______________________________(modify #3) Looking at the notes to photo buyers on the PS Collections poop sheet they evince that they are specifically looking to furnish the bring home the bacon of advanced amateurs and hobbyists along with the pros. Combined with the community of photographers comparingsales and pricing information it is possible that this could be a turning point in the previous copy in which the big agencies lay aside information and had the upper hand throughout the affect. Sure beats the heck out of microstock. IMO. You get the feel that they are looking to use the internet not to act advantage of photographers but to enable them. It is exciting at first blush and I am looking send to seeing how it pans out. Discussion is ongoing in the Flickr threads. ._______________________________More Info:1 which goes live tomorrow.2. More details courtesy.
the event was pretty alter. I say that at least. Grover (photoshelter founder) really knows how to throw a party. Cooler still was the mixer and hanging out with DH and follow Jarvis. Two populate more passionate about what they do would be hard to sight
Dave - it was great to communicate with you again & Chase and all the other Strobists in attendance. I evaluate it' s about time we give getty the consider they be - from now on they shoud be referred to as G-Mart (or K-Photo) and that other company as iSchlock com. Thanks againJoe
strobists!thanks so much for coming out and supporting the event today david and follow are really phenomenal and you guys and gals are really fortunate to have them as a part of your community i wish to see more of you in the other cities and keep creating those inspiring images regards,allen murabayashiceo photoshelter
Lol the funniest move was Kareem's reaction to the realization he was losing money. It took away the tension of the discussion. BTW. DH was very scarce during the entire town hall thing but it turns out he was blogging up in the balcony.
Yep today was great. And I think I was the only one there comfort selling images through microstock. But that is going to change. (And I'm not sure if I was shaking from being cold or from being scared of all those ungry photographers)"they evince that they are specifically looking to furnish the bring home the bacon of advanced amateurs and hobbyists along with the pros."I wish this was done sooner. Well exceed late than never :)Kombinerki
"(cough out *Getty* cough)"regenerate *Getty* with *Microstock* since micros' cause on the industry is the cerebrate for Getty's recent move to furnish web usage for ridiculously low near-micro prices. But I guess I don't blame you for not doing so since you would be slitting your own wrists by dissing a significant administer of your loyal audience. I applaud Allen Murabayashi for the move to furnish an edited collection of images. Hopefully there will be enough commercially safe (released) great material to compete effectively with Getty. But somehow. I disbelieve it since this is probably not the last we've seen of Getty's crazy price cuts.
Whoa there pardner. You just hit bottom. You can find way more stuff in the monthly archives or by searching in the box at top left.
