Anyone has any experiences with Gettyimages? Perhaps you can share some insights about Singaporean working as image contributors for them?
I do know of a US stock photographer who gets a 5-digits USD paycheck from Getty every quarter.. :bigeyes:

A Getty photographer showed that his downtown night photography of Tokyo was a composite of multiple exposure for several parts of the night scene skillyfully stitched together in PS. You won't be able to get such effect by setting up your tripod with one time-exposure.
An overseas trained pro in Singapore with full studio facilities couldn't get into Gettyimages. So what chance we amateurs have got?
You could get into Gettyimages by backdoor through its many sub-agents. But your royalties will be split twice between your agency and Gettyimages and between your agency and you.
Don Farrall is one such American photographer who could command a 5-digit royalties from Gettyimages quarterly.
Good luck.
