• Are you looking to make a regular income from your most beautiful images? 
• You are a professional but don't know how or where to start? 
• You are wondering which image bank to choose? One, two, three or more? 
• You don't know what an image worth? And even less at what price you could sell yours? 
• You are wondering what is the difference between a Macro and a Microstock agency? 
• Do you have to give in to the Siren of low-cost websites? 
• Or should you give in to the temptation of high-end image banks? 
• Wondering if you should lock yourself into an exclusive contract with a single agency? 
• What percentage of sales will you be offered? Is this the standard? 
• Should I take photos, videos, or both? 
• May I sell my images directly on my website? 
• And what can I do with my images outside of stock photography?

If you ask yourself one or more of these questions, then you've come to the right place

It also means that you feel a bit lost in the nebula of image banks, and to be honest, there is reason to.

The whole point of this Survival Guide is to enlighten you without any fancy talk. We've been there. In the 35 years that we have been practicing stock photography, a certain amount of experience has been acquired. An intuition, and a desire to transmit it. 

We will therefore give you a whole series of advice and answers to help you make one of the most difficult decisions for a visual artist who wants to live from his creations: who to trust, under what conditions to practice, and for what benefit in the end? 

We start from the premise that you are not an amateur and that what you are looking for is not so much the glory of being published as the money that will allow you to pay your bills and feed your next creative projects. For you, making images and making a living from your royalties is a job, not a hobby. 

So let's get started, because we have a long way to go. 
It will be difficult and full of pitfalls, but if you hold on, what an exciting, rich and independent life awaits you! 

Follow the guide!
