Re: jgulinosports Getty Photos

Hi guys ... does anyone have a contact that has access to the Getty Images database? I need to get a handful of photos in various sizes (8x10s, 11x14s, 16x20s, etc.) by early next week.

Thanks ...

I know there has been alot of debate on this site regarding how to purchase pictures from Getty Images. What is the easiest and cheapest way to buy pictures from Getty?

Re: Getty images

I think that the issue is that Getty et al, are not for people like us.

If you were Time Magazine and were doing a story on Arod, you'd be ok paying $300 for a pic.

Getty doesnt understand that game used collectors use Getty for photo matching. They interpret our desire for pics as a way to profit off of their images, like a magazine would.

Once they realize that they are leaving money on the table by pricing us out of the picture (no pun intended), they may change their mind.

Re: Getty images/WHY SO MUCH?

Hi guys, quick question has anybody found out the reason Getty images charges so much for a picture? If they read this board maybe they can respond...back in the day THE NFL had a site where one could purchase photos for under $10 now I am hearing their trying to tell alot of the photographers that their pictures are actually the property of the NFL....

Hey I am just trying to pick up a few photos for my collection however even though the better pictures are on sites like Getty or worse one site where I was told they don't sell to the public...what gives....


Any light one can shed on this subject would be great!

E-mail sent.

Re: Getty images

The bottom line is there would be no need for under-the-table photo sellers if Getty's prices were anywhere near realistic.

I have a completely off-topic question for you - can you shoot me an email at jeller@milesstockbridge.com? Gracias.

Re: Getty images

Nice going, Greg!

Just kidding, dude.

Everybody knew about that guy. I never understood how he got away with it for so long but I definitely took advantage of his services a few times. Hate to see the wheels come off of that gravy train but it was bound to happen.

Re: Getty images

I've been informed that this is the exact reason we have lost our source.....Nice

I'd seen his contact info posted on a number of message boards. How do you think I found out about his service? It was hardly a secret...he even had a website.

Re: Getty images

Funny you should mention him. I just got an email from him politely asking me to remove a post from another message board. I'd listed his contact info and mentioned that he seemed to be able to make prints of any Getty pic.

Re: Getty images

Seems kinda odd that he suddenly stopped. He was making a ton of money off of it and those images helped me make a few photomatches since they can be blown up so big.

Well I know this is pretty hot topic, in regards to buying images off getty. I think that 99% of people used to go through the same guy, shall we say JG, for short

Well he is no longer doing pics....not sure what or why this is, but he is no longer doing them

Anyone know the scoop?? and more importantly do you have a contact that does them?

email me if you do rangersstars@yahoo.com
