I've been shooting travel stock in South and Southeast Asia for the last 10 months. I've got a little over 2 months left, and when I get home I've got heaps of work to be done. When it is indeed done, I want to be sure I'm using the best stock agency I can for my style and needs.

Can any of you lovely folks check out my work (www.eyeballimaging.com/blog) and let me know which stock agency you'd recommend I go with? Obviously I'd be interested to know if you yourself have used this agency and what luck you've had....this is especially true for other travelstock shooters.

oh, and please don't recommend microstock agencies. I'm really trying to avoid that for the good of photography and if i ever do use them, I'll certainly be using my lower tier of work.

I do appreciate it greatly.

My inital thought is that you shoud concider making your own galleri that you could sell images through. Even though i guess thats not what you want to hear, imo most stock agencys pay next to nothing. By the way great work you got some breathtaking shots there.

Edit: Thought you where looking for microstock agencies never mind, missed that part sorry.

You may try to sell Your photos at alamy.com or getty.com... but I have no idea if they Would like to sell Your photos - I've heard that they have high requirements about photographers.

If You avoid microstock because of low pricing, You can try to sell Your photos through featurepics, they allow You to set any price for Your photos.

I don't have any advice to offer, but you have some really good images there. I would be proud to have some of those.
