About Microstock
Microstock is the name given to the portion of the royalty-free stock photography market that operates exclusively online sourcing photos from the public. Anyone can upload their photos to various microstock agencies who will sell them repeatedly, generating ongoing commissions for the contributor. More detail about Microstock.
About Microstock Diaries

I share my experiences as a microstock contributor and my observations of the microstock market. Along with comments from visitors and links to other sources, this creates a resource of ideas and information to help contributors increase their success in the microstock market.

About Me
My name is Lee Torrens. I am an amateur photographer but a keen observer of the microstock market. I have been both buying and contributing microstock photos since August 2005 and writing about the market here since March 2007. I contribute to microstock in collaboration with my partner who is a graphic designer and not too shabby on Photoshop either.
About My Photos
As I publish my microstock earnings on this blog, many people have asked to see my photos. This is a great way for people considering microstock to compare their portfolio to mine to estimate their potential earnings. Here are some of my microstock portfolios:
iStockphoto | ShutterStock | Dreamstime | Fotolia | LuckyOliver
