Microstock has very specific requirements in some regards but it shares trends with the overall business of photography, like a growing interest in video. It also seems to be the nature of all business that (as Yanik points out) taking even a few months off affects earnings. The pace of everything keeps stepping up. It's heartening to hear that, as submission requirements get tighter, the payouts per usage are increasing. That's always a good thing. Microstock photography is a fascinating study, thanks for keeping the informed perspectives coming... Great perspectives from someone with such a lengthy track record.

He's got me on Shutterstock (95 to 137) and DT (370 to 375) as far as contributor numbers. lol Agree with pretty much everything Yanik says as well - about the future, the gap, the growth potential, etc. Things have DEFINITELY tightened up. Fotolia specifically was always an "easier" agency traditionally. They have tightened a lot, so has DT. Great look back - and Yanik's blog is great too - went straight to my feed reader. :) Great interview – like Yanik I learned about microstock from DPChallenge forums – where I’ve know KosmikKreeper long before I knew Yanik Chauvin.
