MediaMagnet - DPChallenge Forums

Hey guys. I've been working with SuperStock for a while now. Last spring I was approached by them to act as consultant in helping them create a new stock photography company - MediaMagnet. MediaMagnet is now almost ready to launch (next month!!) and are looking for contributing photographers who are interested in getting in on the ground floor. They are NOT a micro agency.

If you want to learn more, follow this link: //www.mediamagnet.com/photographers/sign-up.asp

That's cool. So, ummm, do you get demerits if your referrals suck? =)

Looks like they're looking for professional with beefy cameras. =P Counts me out!

I'm guessing they're trying to specifically exclude the XT, while including the 20D. Don't they know it's smarts, lights, and lenses that make more difference anyway? =)

Thanks, dude!

Smurfy, their requirements match Alamy's, and SuperStock's reqs.

I checked Alamy's guidelines, and they require a minimum camera of 6 megapixels, requesting that you upsize to 48MB (16 megapixels).

Besides, Alamy doesn't have such a probing questionnaire. It seems to me that MediaMagnet is really trying to keep the bar high. Which is good for them I guess.

All the same, I don't feel I qualify as professional yet, nor do I really have enough stock-esque photos. =)

Nah, they're just excluding Nikon pros. By setting the limit at 8.2 megapixels they're excluding the Nikon D1, D1H, D1X, D2H shooters, but the only Canon excluded is the 1D.
