Loved the article and I agree with it almost 100%. We are now in a period of correction that has already begun to see prices rise for micro. The big change will be when some of the larger producers of images begin to market their image collections on their own and pull out of microstock altogether.

Hi,
I like your article, its insightful, but you dont mention where you feel the market is now headed ultimately? An opinion on that matter?
What are the possible ‘corrections’ that might now take place?

Fred, Khuram, Thanks for your comments. We are definitely in a period of correction. At the time I wrote the article I had no idea where the market would go. I had some ideas, but nothing based on any real facts. I have posted an update. Let me know what you think. http://unsharpmasked.com/blog/2008/10/2008-stock-photo-market-crash-so-where-do-we-stand-today/

Nice article on the stock industry – really informative and precise. And when Yuri Arcurs says “Doing this kind of production for microstock is not worth it (…) I am in particular losing revenue on the subscription sites” well, this is music for my “rights-managed” ears.

Thanks for your great stock photography news and i appreciate that very much. But, i think stock photography market will never fall since demand for digital photos for designing is increasing day by day.

hello there and thank you for your info – I have definitely picked up something new from right here. I did however expertise some technical issues using this site, since I experienced to reload the web site a lot of times previous to I could get it to load properly. I had been wondering if your web hosting is OK? Not that I’m complaining, but slow loading instances times will sometimes affect your placement in google and can damage your high-quality score if advertising and marketing with Adwords. Anyway I am adding this RSS to my e-mail and can look out for a lot more of your respective exciting content. Ensure that you update this again soon..

Hi, Neat post. There’s a problem with your site in internet explorer, would check this… IE still is the market leader and a huge portion of people will miss your great writing due to this problem.
