Hello Friends, Clients and Followers!
As many of you know, I’ve been a photographer for most of my adult life. Over the years, to subsidize my income, I’ve been working with various #StockPhoto agencies selling my work.
#shutterstockboycott, #boycuttshutterstock#shutterstock
A few days ago, one of these agencies pulled the rug from
under me and over a million #creative fellows.
On May 26th, #Shutterstock Inc NYSE: SSTK notified its contributors of drastic changes to the payout structure, which took effect today.
#boycottshutterstock
The new structure #Shutterstock has cut prices and lowered the #royalties it pays to ones who drive their business. They believe it’s ok to keep up to 85% of revenue for our work, our hours of planning, creating, key-wording + uploading, while continually investing in new gear
If you agree that pay rates as low as 10¢ for an image are not fair...
I respectfully ask you to follow the thousands of creatives and stock content buyers in showing support for #ShutterstockBoycott#boycottshutterstock
