For the past couple of years I have been a member of the Alamy stock photography site. My photos from the Alamy site have been licensed for use in a whole range of media ranging from inclusion in articles on the Telegraph website to publication of an image as a double spread in a worldwide travel magazine.

I have now reached the milestone of close to 1,500 photographs on the site which has taken a large amount of my time over the past 2 years but the results now seem to be coming in to show the work has been worth the effort. I have definitely found that like may other forum users the views and results have significantly increased as I have been on the site for a longer period of time and also the more images available to buyers is bringing in the search traffic. Recent Alamy changes to the search result options has also increased traffic to my photographs as the buyer can now choose to search on the newest additions, the ‘best of’ and also the most relevant for the search terms.

You can have a look through my Alamy portfolio on the Alamy website, there are hundreds of new and fresh images that have not appeared on this website.
