A Message from SenshiStock


First: For a good chunk of August I will have very limited access to the net.  I have a friend who will be helping me manage the account while my access is down, but I expect my messages will pile up to rediculous levels and it will take me a week to sort it out when I get the 'net back. ^o^  So please bear with me as I'm likely to be even slower than usual with collecting your work and replying to messages.  :thanks:

News: I'm tossing around the idea of doing a stock shoot in which I do all custom images for people.  The idea would be that you would make a deposit to reserve a space in the shoot (say, something like $5 per pose) and I would take photos of the specific pose that you wanted.  Some people have asked me about doing paid stock before but I hadn't really thought of a way I could do it without possibly getting overwhelmed.  But I think if I had a limited number of prearranged requests - say 50 - that I could complete all in one shoot, that might work out all right.  It would be something that I'd do on occasion, not something that would be ongoing.

Exclusive stock can be a mucky sort of water.  I know there are some people who really don't like it and some people who love the exclusivity of it.  I have one exclusive pack and I've gotten good feedback from people who've purchased and used it.  I think it would be nice to be able to give some of you working artists the specific references you need and in turn I could make a few bucks to support my artistic (and collecting!) endeavors.  

So my questions for you are:
:bulletblue: Would a custom pose service like this be useful to you as an artist if I did it in this manner?
:bulletblue: Would you pay to have a requested pose done on demand even if it was going to be released to the public in the gallery later?
:bulletblue: Would you want the image to be exclusive to you and you only, or would you expect it could be purchased by others?
:bulletblue: Do you think that $5/pose is a fair and reasonable rate?

Thanks for the feedback.   You guys are awesome :heart:

$5 sounds good. :)

Question, do you sell books that have many/all of your stock images in it? If so, sorry I haven't seen them yet. o_o I think it'd be a nice reference pose book for artists on the go, if you haven't thought of it - which I'm sure you have. Just wondering.
