by Jess on Oct.22, 2009, under microstock, photo agency, photographer, royalty-free, stock images
New York, NY, Oct. 20, 2009. Jim DeLillo, a Gold Level contributor (10,000 downloads) has ended his exclusivity agreement with the microstock giant iStock. A New Jersey photographer, DeLillo is ranked 1267 worldwide by http://istockcharts.multimedia.de/ and is credited with over 11,000 downloads. He has uploaded his entire portfolio to Fotolia. 
Full artist Exclusivity on iStock means images, video or audio files cannot be sold on other royalty-free sites or businesses, with the exception of Getty Images.
The agreement restricted DeLillo to selling his royalty-free (RF) stock images only through iStock. The benefits of such an agreement can include increased payout rates, higher upload limits, quicker approval times, and some additional marketing exposure.
Although canceling the agreement means losing some benefits, going non-exclusive empowers DeLillo to sell RF stock photography through whatever outlet he chooses. The microstock market is growing at an amazing rate, as there are over thirty-three commonly known microstock agencies.
