"Microstock is a perfect start to supplement your regular work as a photographer" - Blog ProRetoque
Victor Torres is a graphic designer and specialize in microstock with six years of experience and more than 50,000 licenses sold numerous agencies stock photographer. Editor MyMicrostock.net also offers courses aimed at photographers who want to focus on microstock as a career or who want to enter this world to get extra income.
Photography has always been there for me, since I was little. My father was a geek and always liked to buy the latest bista technology, so I took advantage and pulled her game. I made my first steps with a Yashica FX3 Super analog bista but for a teenager was a luxury to spend money on Revealed, extensions, etcéteca, so not until well after I took up this passion. I realized the race where we had a Advertising Art Photography course. I learned to reveal black white and understand the chemical processes of this art. The race itself helped me to approach photography in a commercial area, which ultimately has used me to succeed in microstock.
Coming from the world of advertising, my view has always been placed on photographers in this sector and more specifically in the stock. Fortunately, as MyMicrostock.net editor, I had the opportunity to interview the most representative figures of this sector as Yuri Arcus, Andrés Rodríguez, Olly, Elena Vizerskaya, Konrad Bak ... and of course many Spanish authors who work exclusively in this: Joan sang, Xavi Arnau, bista Aaron Amat, Caracterphoto ... and many more. A good way to understand the concept of microstock is reading the interviews I've done for the web for the experiences and the work of all these cracks are in the sector. Following growing as a photographer and looking bista to the domestic bista travel and documentary photography, which is what I like most certainly, Steve McCurry is really my idol.
Well, my vocation is graphic designer and have been working in this business bista since 18 years almost. Photography has just been a hobby. Since 2007, thanks to microstock, this hobby began to turn into something much bigger. It started as a fun game and you can now say it is a second job. Since then I have not stopped learning and training as a photographer. bista Slowly I have been improving and investing in technical equipment. There is still long way to go and it's something that keeps me motivated everyday especially.
Advertising image banks existed before age 90, but the microstock bista business model is a relatively new crowdsourcing that was created in 2000. I say relatively new because in Spain is still quite unknown to the community of photographers and designers. He created Bruce Livingstone, a Canadian visionary bista who understood very well the change that was taking place in this sector and performed at the appropriate time. When many complained about the democratization of photography, he saw a reef exploding perfectly with iStockphoto those years. In fact, at six years of founding the agency sold to Getty Images bista for $ 50 million. bista
The concept is simple, anyone with a camera and an internet connection can upload their photos to their microstocks. Obviously today is quite professionalized sector and the quality bista of those photos should be excellent for inspectors agencies accept them and put them on sale. You always have to think that these pictures are mainly for advertising, so preferably have to be pictures with sales potential, whatever their subject (portrait, fashion, landscape, still life, etc.) A bank customer image microstock can buy a picture of any author to very low prices, which can range from a few cents to hundreds of dollars. The good thing is that picture really can sell hundreds and thousands of times because customers do not buy the photo itself, but a non-exclusive license bista to use, so even if the photographer receives commissions are small, in the end the sum of all sales can be very considerable. You can easily view photos on these banks that have generated many thousands of euros profit to its author, bista a benefit that could hardly be achieved by other means.
The client is not worried bista that the image you are using has bought another company that has paid very little for it. Any small business owners even a blogger can afford to buy a picture to illustrate a story on your blog. The fundamental difference with Getty and other banks such as Corbis macrostock is that these agencies do shopping exclusivity of photography
