Jim Pickerell is launching a new photographer income survey in an effort to determine general income trends for photographers in the last couple of years. We encourage photographers, worldwide, who have had any earnings whatsoever in the last two years from licensing rights to their images to answer this brief questionnaire. Please answer regardless of whether the income comes from stock-photo licensing or assignment work. One question will enable us to distinguish between the income from stock and from other sources.
You can find the survey at: http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/KP2GT9Z. The questions should take less than five minutes to answer. The results will be available in early July at PhotoLicensingOptions.com. There will be no charge to see the answers and read the analysis. The results should help individual photographers understand how their photographic business relates to that of others in these difficult times.
We encourage readers to tell their friends about this survey and would ask stock agencies to encourage their photographers to participate.
