ANY info like photograph stockists addresses etc much appreciated

Answer 1

if you're putting together a lot of images, photographers can promote through online database & distributors like getty's images getty's images, imagebank & istockphoto.

Photographer earns a revenue from each sale. Getty's have major client accounts with major publishers, magazines & end users who want to buy specific photos for marketing campaigns. each image costs according to how it's distributed & size, but a generic image suitable for a website is sold for about £60. 4x6" image for an A5 DM campaign = £300, bigger campaign/ image may go up to £1500+

istockphoto.com aim for the volume distribution. more people buy lots of images for a low price (licence fee only, no royalties on usage), but maybe you can promote through both companies?

otherwise, i've seen big prints on ebay, which is a cheaper distribution option than trying to convince a photo gallery to promote, and i'd guess they'd ask for a healthy cut of 50-60% of each sale.

Oh yeah, if it's juicy, I've heard Paparazzi selling 3 images exclusively of Mariah Carey on hols in a bikini for £15K to a tabloid.
