I received an unsolicited email from PictureStock.com. It purports to be a stock agency that would market my images to other agencies for sale. They charge $0.50 per image submitted but no maintenance fees. They do not deal royalty free.

Anyone hear of this agency? Have you used it? They claim to have been in business since 1997. Does it sound legit?

Thanks for any input.

I received one too. I believe it came through this forum from:

Ken Shaw ID# 7152 via the NatureScapes Portfolio's Contact form.

Anybody know who this guy is?

Yes I know of the company .
Are they legal/good/do they sell
I cant answer that .I have my details up on there web site as do a couple of top other Israeli photographers who work in different fields to me.They have a free listing of wich I use but have never as much as had a request or mail from them .
A free listing enables me to check them out more but in todays world of computers I personally dont think one has to belong to more than 2 or 3 companies like this.

I know the company. They don't do a thing for you.

I also have some of my photos with this agency, but I've yet to receive any tangible results from them.
