Our contributors think we’re great too
We’re easy to work with, we’re non-exclusive and we don’t tie photographers in with exclusive / long term contracts. We don’t edit our collection, contributors choose what they want to sell.
‘Alamy has for many years been an important revenue stream for me, as a professional landscape photographer. Although image sale values have declined across the industry, sales volumes at Alamy have more than compensated to ensure that photographers continue to benefit from Alamy’s services.' Adam Burton, Photographer
Our ‘100% students’ project supports photography students while they study. We give students 100% of the money they make from the sale of their images on Alamy.
