Adelaide Microstock

Currently we are working on our own stock site, we believe that

1. There is a lot of opportunity to address some niche markets
2. The standards are actually becoming too high in the microstock market. I believe this to be true based on studying the images which are actually used in local publications, after 18 months of submitting images to microstock I can safely say that a lot of the images would get rejected. What does that mean, who knows, but you could assume that if an photos composition appeals to the end user that they don't care or know about photographic technical issues.
3. Many sites claim to accept editorial but reject anything which does not have international appeal.

So we setup http://www.ctrphotos.net/

If you're looking for a quality stock photo library of Adelaide and South Australian images at microstock prices look no further!

We are still really in beta mode at the moment, while we busily upload our current content and are always doing new shoots to add. Once we have a reasonable amount of photos we are going to launch to the local market.

At this point we are not really sure about inviting other photographers to contribute. Its a catch 22 situation, its hard to attract buyers without a reasonable volume of quality images, hard to keep them if there is not regular increases in volume but its hard to attract photographers without having buyers in place.

In the meantime, all our testing indicates everything is working, so have a look and if you find something you like feel free to purchase it!
