This is stock photography

  Stock photos are images that have previously been taken, not a paid assignment for new photography. Usually these images are from a photographers' self-assignments. These are often images that the photographer has a special interest in and a knowledge of, such as geology, wildlife and nature in general. These stock photos are leased to commercial clients for paid uses such as advertisements, books, brochures, annual reports and magazine articles. While it can be very costly and time consuming to hire a photographer to photograph a volcanic eruption, a glacier surge, northern lights or the midnight sun, you are also not guaranteed the quality of images you will get. Instead you call ARCTIC IMAGES, and have the knowledgeable staff find images to meet your criteria. Thus, you have a choice of many images from a large stock and you know exactly what image you will get. You s describe the type of images you are looking for including the subject you have in mind, the concept you wish to illustrate, whether the image should be horizontal or vertical, and any other specification that will help our search. Commonly, by giving us the concept you wish to illustrate, we can also suggest images which you may not have thought of. With your wishes in mind, we look through our 130,000 plus library of images and choose a selection to send you. We start by sending low resolution images over the Internet to you for review.
 


What does stock photography cost?.

 
 

What does stock photography cost? The uses of stock photos are so varied that it's impossible to supply a comprehensive "price list". Stock photography pricing is based on a number of parameters which include:

INTENDED USE: brochure, print advertisement, billboard, etc....
USE SIZE: 1/4 page, full page, double page, etc.....
PLACEMENT OF IMAGE: inside, cover, etc.....
PRESS RUN OR CIRCULATION: for. ex. 5,000 brochures or an ad in a
250,000 press run magazine. DURATION OF THE USE: One-time, use for a year, etc....

In order to quote a fair price, all of the above parameters must be taken into consideration by ARCTIC IMAGES in order to calculate a reasonable usage fee.
