The concept of Micro stock, does not refer to something that has to do with microscopic photography, but a new trend on the photographic scene, fueled mainly by the advent of the Internet. The concept is simple: there are websites on which network load your best photos of your children, your, of objects, fruit etc etc.. Once accepted, these photographs will be on sale for those who want to use them in publications, magazines or websites. The images are scaled and sold it at different resolutions, each with its own price.

Where is the big news of Microstock?

Unlike traditional stock photography sites, where images are subject to a rigid selection process (so taken by professional photographers who invest time and money in professional equipment) and the cost is around 300-500 dollars, in Microstock sites, the percentage of accepted images is significantly higher and specific instrumentation is not required to obtain these results (although it is important to follow some specific charges of "quality"). The photos in question are sold at figures ranging between 1 and $ 20, depending on the resolution at which the image is downloaded. The site provides the service of selling these pictures retain a percentage varying between 50 and 75 (still proportional to the ease with which they sell the photos). In addition to photographs, you can also upload images and vector illustrations made entirely on our computer, so even illustrators gain significant economic benefit from this activity.
