Do stock photo agencies charge for making duplicate transparencies (dupes)?
All agencies make dupes for their catalog images and for their sub-agents; and most agencies charge their photographers for these dupe, either through deductions on future sales or my taking a larger commission. I’ve prepared a complete report on this subject: Using Dupes to Increase Stock Photo Sales. It also includes info on how you can use dupes to increase stock photo sales to your own clients. • Q: If I decide to leave a stock agency, how long before my photos are returned to me? • Q: Where can I find examples of good photography and Web design on the Internet? A: We have a list of photographers who have used great photography and innovative Web design to showcase their images on the Internet. We consider them to be among the top five percent of the Web sites on the Internet. We have awarded these sites our weekly TOP PHOTO-DESIGN AWARD. • Q: How do I go about promoting my own Web site? • Q: Do you have a list of other photography related links?
