You can see the Live Briefs
here. If you have images in your stock file that fit any of these briefs it may be time to think about uploading them.
Photographers whose images are chosen for any of these briefs receive up to 70% of the fee paid to ImageBrief. On average photographers receive $1,400 per sale.
Something To Think About
These clients may have searched several stock agency collections, but not found the image they wanted. Your image may have been accepted by a good stock agency. But when clients go looking for that subject matter your image still may not have been seen.
The keywords you attached may be different than the ones the client used. However, the bigger problem may have been that more images were returned in the search than any client has time to review. Most clients don’t look at more than 300 images delivered in a search before they change their search parameters or go to another site. Many searches deliver thousands of images. If your image has been on the site for a long time there is a good chance it is buried way below image 300.
If you’re trying to maximize your return on the images you’ve produced, it may be time to spend a little time regularly reviewing the briefs photo buyers are sending to ImageBrief. Most photographers submit to several briefs before they get a single image accepted. On the other hand, I know of at least one major stock shooter who has realized significant returns from several sales through ImageBrief.
