The past few months have seen more and more enquiries for stock photography from the Russian Federation. This week alone has included the subjects of Essaoira for a travel magazine, and London, for a newspaper.
Apart from having to negotiate ‘VAT’ with Customs & Excise (apparently, there is no VAT to be paid when sending digital images abroad - just in case you were wondering), supplying images abroad and being paid online is a whole new market, which every photographer should try and work with. There seems to be a definite trend for picture buyers to source images from small ’boutique stock agencies’ and less so from the ’supermarket agencies’. Saying that, I’m also going to stick with the large agencies for a while.
