Default RSI Raw-Stock-Images

Raw-stock-Images is a new UK based site.

Shortened quote from one of their emails "RSI is only going to have a certain number of contributors so that eventually this site will be rather exclusive.
Once places are full, sign up will be by invite only. We want to make a site where serious stock photographers can have their images seen by buyers and not swamped by non serious photographers. This means less competition for the photographers that are left. Hopefully we can then make more sales for the serious photographer.We still have places left but want to fill these naturally." I like that you can organize your portfolio in galleries, that makes it easier for a potential buyer to browse through interesting images... SY

Will have a look and if I sign up I will use your referrer code of course ;-)

Update - The TOS are not quite clear. What's the contributor reward scheme? Are there reviewers? What's their total portfolio? Alexa rating 649,409 is not bad for a beginner. In short... what do they have to offer beyond LO and FP?

"Once places are full, sign up will be by invite only" - I'm not impressed. You can set rules when you're a market leader, not as a humble beginner. Crestock tried that game too. Look where they are now.

I am not happy with their high-resolution licence - it allows for printing of up to 500,000 items (mugs or mousemats or prints etc) for which the photographer will receive ?2 for the jpg image.

See Pricing and Commission and Use of Images (under the Resources tab) to see what I mean. If anyone else has joined I would appreciate your comments in the forum (this is found under the Phtographers tab)

They do seem willing to listen but this is a major issue for a new site I think.

Just a quick update re this site, they are new and they are very friendly, I finally got round to uploading a few images to them, after which I sent an email to the guy in charge with some suggestions, one of my suggestions was that they should get rid of the categories which was a pain to use.
I got an email back almost instantly thanking me for the suggestion and that he would remove the category section over the weekend.
True to his word he emailed back to say he has done it, that caused a few hiccups in the system but they are being ironed out.
It is a new site and there are as would be expected a few flaws, they intend to start their marketing at Easter which should hopefully bring some sales in.
If you do decide to join and see something you don't like by all means send them an email, they (in his own words) "appreciate any advise".
Lastly the guys name is Richard - No it is not me and I have nothing to do with them other than being a contributor.
