Flickr and Getty images
28/Mar 2012
Yesterday I had this surprise on flickr. I got an email from Flickr HQ saying that 5 of my photographs had been chosen by a Getty Images Editor because they think they could sell, so they’ve invited me to open an account on Getty Images with, initially, these images so that they can be sold. If they sell them you get paid a royalty. Not much, but I find this very exciting.
And it opens me to the possibility of submitting more of my photographs so that they can review them and approve them if they think they can sell.
The photographs that have been admitted are:
Vietnamese boats
Fruits in Bodrum
Dog stretching
Ladybirds on Mount Etna
And my absolute favourite from all times:
Snowy NYC at dusk
What do you think? I’m willing to give it a go. Not sure about the one from NYC, although that’s probably the one that’s more likely to be sold.
