Stock agency's network, Selling and buying

When you are working with stockphoto's even if you make them, sell them or buy them, you need to have a large network. The network can never be to big. That's an open door of course, but a hugh amount of contacts cost a lot of time too.

You have to be selective and in this world there is a lot of competition. Photographers who manage there own stock-archive, others who are embedded in stock-agencies, photgraphers who are in tenth of agencies, or photographers who can hardly found but who are very good.

So you have to make a network of people, agency's, creatives, buyers, sellers who can depend on each other when they need something. Who wants to assign each other.. Allow them to earn their living. That's business.

And thats where I'm in too. I buy images from different photographers for clients and they ask me when they need something for their clients. Thats best for us AND for the clients because they don't to shop everywhere, ONE_STOP shopping :-)

A special good networking site is PHOTOGRAPHERS DIRECT. where I have, of course, an account to SELL images and another to BUY images! See my archive there: http://www.photographersdirect.com/buyers/search.asp?library=14660

Everybody can sell there there images (when the images are good enough... they can be declined) and everybody can buy images.

Of course there are a lot of other agencys and photographers we work with, they all heve there own clients and they all have there own unfullfilled image wishes and we are helping each other.

When you need images AND you have your own archive or network and you want to coƶperate in our NETWORK mail me at wolverlei@planet.nl.
