Getty was created for the purpose of collecting amazing images and distributing them around the globe, completely changing the photography industry in the process. Getty Images was the first to license imagery over the Internet, which in turn moved the photography industry online. Getty also offers Rights Managed licenses, which means customers pay a specific amount based on precisely how the image will be used.
You can get a feel for the pricing under these licenses by using the Getty Images calculator. While they charge more and give a higher commission, this can be a disadvantage. When you apply through either site GettyImages. The other good news is that if your photos are among the best on iStock, they will also be placed on GettyImages.
In most situations, if approved for GettyImages. Getty Images not iStock requires an exclusivity agreement, meaning you will not be allowed to directly license any content that Getty Images approves. In other words, while you still own the copyright to your images, they own exclusive leasing rights. When applying to become a contributor, you can upload up to 15 photos, 15 illustrations, or 3 videos. Videos must be. MOV files that are not more than 3GB.
Once your application is turned in, you cannot go back and add more photos. You do not need to look for clients and spend your time meeting them.
Your clients will find you by themselves thanks to Getty Images' wide clients base. When submitting images, you can create a template base on one image and apply it to others. This user-friendly feature speeds up the process of submitting your content on Getty Images and helps you upload more in a shorter time.
Getty Images has a "Custom Content" feature. They sent you an email with a specific demand from their clients.
If you like it, you can shoot specifically for their customer. If you are selected by the customer, you will be paid more for an exclusive license. If you are not selected, your pictures will be sold on Getty Images in the normal way. Here you can find information about the custom content brief. The price per image is pretty low. If someone buys using a subscription, which is a common way people buy images on iStockphoto, you will get about 0.
But this price is not fixed like on Shutterstock. It all depends on the amount of picture their customer buys on Getty a month. You can read here. For me, it takes at least 1 week to get feedback on the images I submit on Getty. This is a long waiting time and can hold you back from growing your portfolio.
I started uploading images to iStockphoto in February and I got my first sale only in September the same year. I already got disappointed and stopped uploading and checking. But when I checked in October by accident, I saw that I started selling and thus, continued working on this microstock site. Your income on Getty Images will increase if you continue uploading images.
But it doesn't depend on the number of pictures in your portfolio. It rather depends on the quality and diversity of your pictures. Your income grows with the number of pictures in your portfolio. In the beginning, many people get disappointed and stop uploading photos because they don't sell anything or they make very view money.
But from my experience, I can tell you that you need to keep uploading your photos frequently, and your income will grow. It also takes time for SEO search engine optimization to show your pictures in the search engines as well.
This is one of the highest thresholds among microstock sites. It takes one month to show your sales on the Getty images platform. Usually, they update on the 20th in the following month the results for sales in the previous month. You can put the keywords that are predefined in Getty Images' app and contributor software. Thus, it takes more time going through all keyword and putting them one by one. Also, it is difficult to use specific keywords. You can upload only pictures in each batch.
We want to make it easier for our contributors to shoot what our customers need most - which leads to more downloads and better revenue opportunities. Nowadays, the content in high demand is lifestyle imagery and pictures that can depict many concepts: togetherness, innovation, love, collaboration just to name a few.
Think about the stories your images can help illustrate. The more universal their appeal is, the more likely it is that your photographs will be in demand. All contributors must ensure that the content they submit does not contain copyrighted materials.
Getty Images will not accept content that is a violation of the exclusive rights of a creator. This also includes less obvious elements present in an image — branded clothes, logos on drinks and food, technology brands, etc.
