Which would you go with: Getty Images or IstockPhoto to sell photography stock?

I know Istockphoto is a part of Getty from what I’ve looked up online, but they both have various differences that set them apart. Which company would you go with to sell stock photos and why or why not? Thank you!

If those are your top two, I’d apply to both, and see who accepts you. Getting your foot in the door with stock photography can be surprisingly difficult. Particularly since the market is super-saturated right now, your photos have to really stand out in content, style and quality. Even professional portrait and event photographers have had difficulty getting a decent-sized stock portfolio online.

Keep in mind that many agencies do *not* require you to be exclusive (even though going exclusive can get you some perks, such as faster photo approvals & better commission rates). Many photographers sell their work at many different stock photo agencies. Apart from iStockphoto, I also suggest checking out Shutterstock, Veer & Dreamstime.

Good luck!
