I don't use a stock agency, but after reading what they did to a good photographer, I can't believe that anything would have changed. How often do we see a company change their ways for the better?

BTW, thanks for posting the news item. Illuminating to say the least.

I don't expect them to change either, what I am asking is if anyone has had any good experiences to share. After the "gobbling up" of Newsmakers by getty, I have not found anything I care to participate in for editorial stock.

I want to find representation for rights managed editorial stock. It's all to easy to post about the bad ones, I wonder if there are any good one out there?

Does anyone have any experience with The Stock Solution or My Loupe?

The Stock Solution, Inc - photo stock image and photo stock images

The Stock Solution pays 60%, which seems to be on the higher end. Just curious as to others' thoughts and reactions.

Re: What stock agencies do you recomend and why?

I'm with Alamy, who do a pretty good job and seem to have regular clients, mostly in the editorial space. They're not good at engaging in two-way communication with their contributors (they do communicate, but it's entirely one-way) and their collection is not edited, which has its drawbacks. Overall, though, I am quite happy with them.

I also have a few hundred images at PhotoShelter's new edited collection. They are going after the commercial and ad markets, the collection is edited, and they are very good at listening, communicating and generally engaging with contributors. No sales yet, but they only just launched so early days yet.
