Don't Support Getty Images

published by walter rowe on Wed, 01/12/2011 - 6:41pm

Getty Images continues the race to the bottom with the price point for their own vault of imagery. They say it is intended for "the value driven customer". There is no such thing as a value-driven customer using their philosophy. It should be called the "value-less driven customer" who would prefer to pay absolutely nothing if at all possible.

Why do photographers continue to submit images to Getty given the agency's clear illustration that they could not care less about the photographers?
