Yellow Goat's Beard

123RF.com. Where do I begin? Well, for starters, I signed up at 123RF in January 2008. Over the past 3 1/2 years I have added to my portfolio, which probably started around 600 images and is now at 900+ images approved on the site.

Some Eye Candy

In February 2007, I decided to give FeaturePics a try. I uploaded my entire portfolio (which then consisted of around 600-700 photos) and most were approved. Throughout the following 2 years, I didn’t have any sales. Then FeaturePics decided that their catalog was growing sufficiently that they could take the opportunity to weed out some of the less popular images.

A little eye candy.

Dreamstime, much like Shutterstock, was very hard for me to get approved in order to sell images. Finally they approved my submissions, and I could start uploading regularly.

Well, the time has come for another stock agency review. This time I am choosing Fotolia.com.

I have been a member on Fotolia for about 2 years. I have uploaded my entire portfolio (around 800+ images) and have only had 53 images approved. In the entire time I have used the site, I have only had 3 sales, totaling $2.75 in commissions. (See update below)

A little eye candy.

After a few bad experiences with some stock photo agencies, I decided I should add my two cents about the agencies I use, or have used in the past. I will start with Cutcaster.com.
