One of my recipes (not only) for Food Photos: Pitopia 
option for change
One of a series of food photo-recipes that I can give you also like this: The Food photo portal and the Agency a total of Pitopia.
year - and not just a month with the proceeds from the sale of images - well worth a comparison the balances in various photo agencies. Of these, many also claim in 2009 by adapting their offerings to customers and their terms and conditions with them and the photographers to take their place in the market, seeking to optimize. Opportunity for self-critical review of their development in the current year were made by subject matter, quality, and yet possible optimization potential of the recent bigger picture. However, critical examination of the
value of such changes is by no means out of place. And if it's too hard to delete an image component may, as it has the stock photographer built up over many years and entered, you should after a certain period of observation and postpone critical review such decisions not only because "it has never done time at some point of time and work." The agencies, which at a longer period despite appropriate artwork sold nothing, are not ideal as an endless party. However, it must also own the pictures are self-critical scrutiny.
Just me in the discussion of members of a photo community to income from the exploitation of their own images on the Internet (not the first time, but) once again struck a very concise, as well as on the one hand the idea of \u200b\u200bamateur photographers about what is negotiable of what customers are looking for, the images for want to buy their own products or those of their clients to use. Starting with the expectations of emotionally to their images, have objective and subjective quality in terms of photographic topics / subject to price expectations. Especially interesting when you look at the respective in the forums publicly visible images of those panelists individually committed and with their subjective expectations and attitudes on the one hand and the well again and again subjective view of different to our own customers' expectations, but qualitatively crucial objectified agencies compares. It tickles in the fingers, the participants of the discussion based on their own photographic works quite rational sober and pure to explain objectively, whether and which of their works would be suitable or not suitable. Knowing that only a small proportion of these photographers already brings a crucial skill: criticism of a picture is not critical of him as a person / photographer or as its thematic preference for motifs or even he photographs people (relatives, friends, etc to be confused) and to feel attacked them personally. Or to have the feeling that he should be spoiled the fun in photography. But simply soberly assessed from the perspective of (potential or existing) customers and customer groups that work could be marketable. What decided seasonal and thematic, qualitatively and also for trends and current issues than some daily from serveral criteria in the Agency's work has to be.
Maybe it's just perfect for the clientele of an agency not only THAT, but in another? Perhaps it is not enough customer-oriented? Even with all the self-critical examination of the meaning and merits of the continuation of cooperation, it can cause should be separated by a contractor. In two agencies, this will probably be with me this year so far, which have recently shown a remarkable behavior in dealing with photographers, pictures, images and unlocks their inner structures of the Lay days, which are acceptable with "structural, technical and personnel changes and the management" is no longer plausible and exhausting patience. Of these, however, was not specifically discussed here.
POSITIVE highlight examples, is more along the lines of my style. One of them - just! - Pitopia. (Other examples then in no particular order soon)
Almost from the beginning of the Agency while I'm there, and parallel to the growth of the agency is also now represented with a selection of more than 2,000 of my work (generally my picture portfolio: more than 14,000 motifs, which are in more than 100 agencies worldwide and cross-linked).
Pitopia is a stock photo agency that now in October as the photo agency which now has 300,000 photos and 4 years of success and with an interesting engagement (the support of 89 projects of kiva.org) in the market place of the Stock Photography are.
In the first half of 2009 grew the image offered by the Karlsruhe Picture Agency Pitopia, which won i s part of the Medium-2009 as the main prize winners and awarded the main prize of cress & Discher economy Verlag GmbH for a total of 3,250 €, to 60,000 images on a total of over 250,000 images at. Since March 2008, the online image agency Pitopia here has a new food portal with expressive, royalty-free images, the appetite for more.
to my food pictures, which are all from our own recipe from our own spring and Cucina, are it with interest for customers to obtain separately and recipes to the images. This option is offered by me, since I found that my pictures are used frequently to and from editors who do so (sometimes right, not always visible to the ingredients voice) create recipes and publish it. Make it lighter:
All images homemade food and food produced for own recipes motives, recipes with pictures to be always happy also supplied if interested. Just ask, I'm happy.
And on and on as good and successful cooperation with Pitopia and their market placement - and trendy development of the photographer and the agency.
