Removed my Photos from DA

Tue Feb 10, 2009, 8:11 PM
Oops. I just read the upload terms again and have no choice but to remove my images. You see, I'm an iStockphoto.com exclusive photographer ([link]), and as such, can't provide a royalty free license to anyone but them.

The problem is that when you upload an image to dA, you are basically granting them a royalty free license; this means that they can use your images for whatever they want without paying you anything. I have two choices here: (1) I can revoke my exclusive status on iStock, or (2) I can remove the images on dA. As I make a ton of money being an exclusive on iStock, and haven't really made much money on dA, I've chosen the latter. I hope you understand my choice.

Regardless, if you want to continue to see my photography, check out my iStock portfolio, or subscribe to my personal photo blog:

I'll still probably be around to +fav images to support you all, but unfortunately I can't host my images here.

No problem. Thanks for the watch, but as you probably noticed from my page, I can't post deviations, but I do have a photo blog link posted on there ([link]). If you really want to get some honest and brutal critique, you should post some photos up on [link] If you've got the guts for it, give it a go. You'll get super good super quick :)

Have a good one,

Mike
