One Single Image! 12k

A large Engineering-corporation had seen one of my shots ( engineering titanium parts) in my portfolio here at the FAA. They were in the process of re-designing their Logo and wanted this particular image as a symbol in their logo-type.
They contacted me privately through my webb-page, deal was done and they agreed the price: 12000 dollars.

I have said it before: the FAA is brilliant for self-promotion and that is exclusivly why I am here. not for prints or anything but strictly for exposure and self-promotion.

BTW. Soon I will open my own gallery down in Chelsea, London and youre all wellcome for the vernisage, if its not too far. All the best!

Ok Christian, please excuse me but I really need to ask you for the explanations in this case (again).

In April 2015 you said on Alamy's forum in your new thread about the wonderful sale (two images for 12k $) and the thread was deleted fast. Later I've found the same news somewhere else (not sure if it was not here on FAA or microstockgroup forum).

You say:
"I have said it before: the FAA is brilliant for self-promotion and that is exclusivly why I am here. "
And if you mean exclusivity for your collection here on FAA, then why I can see your work in other agencies, like Getty or Alamy or micro sites like Shutterstock and Depositphotos? Isn't Getty exclusive?


What is going on here? Is it some kind of self promotion or something? You must admit that whole this story is a little bit ... weird...

Arletta!

Might seem odd, I agree! then again I have my own agency, strictly RM and off-line because of sensiteive material, industrials type Nuclear-power, production-lines and lots of surgery, not exactly what you flaunt over the Internet! this I run for regular clients.

My pricing for a copyright buy-out involving Logo-type, billboard-ads, is in fact. between 8-12K.

Getty? been there from the image-bank since 95 and in those days there was ONLY exclusivity, person-exclusivity, still is in their house-collection and RM files.

None of my 11 images sold as copyrights during 2015 etc have been with Getty, might have been something similar but not identical.

All in all, icorporating commissioned work, stock and commercial-directing, my company run an annual turnover of well past. 350K so you know?


The sole reason I shared this is to let people know about the incredible exposure the FAA brings, they can be seen in the middle of the South-pole to Timbuktu. Pretty impressive.

BTW. Not active at Alamy anymore, might be a few pics there but not active since a year back. Too much old editorial stuff fpor my liking.

Everything is promotion nowadays! you being here is self-promotion, my sale is also promosion for the FAA, showing its possible, every stock-agency is promotion.

Finally, you have a nice port! especially like you snow images/statues.

Christian,
it's still very confusing to me (and others as I saw on FB private professionalists group).
You call over 300 files on Alamy "few" pics?

Christian: BTW. Not active at Alamy anymore
Looks like you added 41 new files lately... Difference between the number on the forum (301 files) and in collection (342). When you upload new images the number on the forum changes after longer time. What am I missing here?

And with other agencies you still have much over 2k images all over there in each agency I've found... And I didn't know you can sell your work through Getty and at the same time on micros. Surprised. But nevermind.

What I really don't understand is why do you say about the sale after 7 months again? Also you said it was sold by another agency than Alamy, now you say they only saw it here on FAA but bought it directly: "They contacted me privately through my webb-page".

And more... back then on the Alamy forum you were walking about two images sold for 12k$, but now you say about one shot only? There is huge misstatement as you can see... and all the situation is at least confusing.

Haha! Arletta! are you sure somebody isn't putting you up to this??? very familiar wordings you come up with. Webb-page?? yeah I normally have around 20 mails/enquiries per day through my webb-page, thats one of the reasons we have our webb/home pages. The FAA is a POD site NOT selling copyrights as such.

Anyhow, let it be confusing for you. I am sure a couple of Aspirins will settle it.

Have a great day.

All the best and end of conversation.
