Today, I would like to dedicate this post to reviewing the news from stock photo agencies released over the last couple of months of the outgoing year and the one that has just begun. However, I will try to be a bit original in presenting the information since this is the first post of 2011. So, here we go:

A person visiting a new city often looks for beautiful spots even before checking into their hotel. They settle in and prepare to go out for a stroll. The tourist captures photos with their camera, already dreaming of showing their friends all the architectural masterpieces they’ve photographed.

Everyone who has already started working with stock photo banks and achieved a certain volume of work faces the question of how to speed up the process of uploading and attributing images to stock photo banks. This question becomes particularly relevant when you work with a large number of stock photo banks simultaneously.

In my previous note, I provided a brief overview of the photo bank BigStockPhoto, now known as BigStock, and promised to discuss the registration process for this photo bank and how to upload images to it. So, let’s get started!

For a long time, I have been meaning to write a few words for a review about a small microstock like Bigstockphoto or Bigstock, how to properly say and write it since 2010. I don’t know why; perhaps this rebranding was done for simplicity’s sake. Along with this, the online service of this microstock underwent a redesign, and later it was sold to a more prominent competitor called Shutterstock.

If you have decided to buy a photo from a stock bank, you will definitely encounter the need to pay for the photo (illustration) or illustration at the stock bank, along with a decent variety of payment options available.
