Someone brought up the idea of doing stock commissions to me and now I\'m curious... How much do you think stock photos are worth?
What I had in mind is that the person who buys it, gets it exclusively and can decide to do whatever he/she wants with it.
Obviously the rules may vary depending upon what the stock photos are of, but mine will more than likely be of fish, so there shouldn\'t really be any issue with that.
At the moment, I can not offer stock as commissions, as I would rather do so when I get my own fish, rather than taking pictures of them at the store. It\'s just something I\'m planning for.
I'm not a 100% sure about definate prices - it would depend on the quality and size, ect. I know some stockers sell individual stock images for $1, but if its by commission and its unrestricted then it should probably be more. Hope that helps
THANK YOU! I've been really looking forward to responses on this post.
Were they selling them over and over again to those who want to use them or were they selling them to one person exclusively? If that wasn't clear, this is what I mean...
The stocker posted a stock photo and said "It cost $1 to use this stock." and several people can pay the $1 fee to use the same stock photo. Or did the stocker post a stock photo and said "For $1, you can have and use this stock exclusively." and the first person who pays the fee, gets the photo and it's no longer available for anyone else to use?
Well from the ones I've seen you can use the stock image if you pay $1 and lots of people can pay to use it - but your not allowed to give the stock image to anyone else.
Now I know someone (can't remember for the life of me who) makes digital art stock and sales it in exclusive packs for like $5 donations.
