The business of selling photographs has survived some shifting landscapes over the years. The digital revolution shook the tripods of many photographers in the last decade, but more recently the competitive distribution wars being waged online have sparked controversy. Companies like istockphoto and shutterstock stormed onto the scene peddling photos for mere fractions of traditional licensing fees, hence giving birth to the age of “microstock agencies.”
While microstock agencies can fill an occasional image need, their talent tryouts are relatively brief—in fact all it takes to post photos for sale on many of these sites is a digital camera and an opposable thumb. While we’re never one to toss water on a meaningful fire, there are a few finer points of “traditional” stock agencies that we feel translate into direct benefits for folks on the receiving end of the transaction.
Circumerro Stock was set up to help talented valley-wide photographers have a broader reach. They key word is talented. The photographers represented on Circumerro Stock are handpicked and at the top of their craft. They represent a range of skills and subjects, specializing in destination imagery on Jackson Hole, the greater Yellowstone region, coastal beach towns in South Carolina and more.
