A Photographer’s Perspective on the Shutterstock and Getty Images Merger
As a passionate photographer who has actively contributed to
Shutterstock and other stock photo agencies, I have witnessed firsthand
the evolving landscape of the stock photography industry. The recent
merger between Shutterstock and Getty Images is a monumental
development that brings both opportunities and challenges for
photographers like myself.
Over the years, the decline in commissions has made it increasingly
difficult to justify the time and effort required to produce and upload
high-quality images.
It’s crucial for us, as contributors, to stay informed and engaged with
the evolving policies and compensation structures to ensure our
interests are protected.
