I am putting the finishing touches to the first of three books I am writing and because I am self publishing the cover was an afterthought... until the need posed an impediment to my schedule. My cover design includes an original painting in part with a number pieces as photos from DepositPhotos to be PhotoShopped into the finished product.
I have absolutely no time for expansive searches nor the patience for complex purchasing agreements; DepositPhotos became a one stop, search and shop solution.
As you are a photographer, and looking for a perfect platform to sell your photos and videos. So, I will highly recommend you Depositphotos. Once you registered on this site, after a while, you will surely make a lot of sales there! At present, I am going to share my experience with you. I just registered on this site. In conclusion, finally, I am making as much as possible sale with ease. This is my favourite photostock. Wonderful, friendly, valuable, and quick service. Thanks for the nudge.
I looked at more than a dozen different stock photo providers that carry the bulk of this author's work and Depositphoto's annual plan (monthly file cap download per month) provided the best price point. The User Interface and search/filter functions are well designed. The only drawback is they don't offer anything along the lines of. Psd templates such as product mockups etc.
I purchased a one-month only subscription but they went ahead and charged me for a second month without any warning! I am in the middle of contacting my credit card company, Trading Standards, and the BBB. The site itself does not answer queries either by email or phone and so I expect I'll have a fight to get a refund of the $99 they stole from me, but I will certainly make as much fuss and noise as possible about it, including involving law enforcement. Do not waste your time with this site. There are other less scammy ones out there with the same pictures on sale.
So, I have a few article writers that log in to my Wordpress site, write articles and insert photos. I like using purchased stock photos rather than hot-linked photos from wikipedia or Flicker, but I don't like giving my login info out for stock photo sites nor do I want to always be the middle man. In comes Microstock plugin - works great with iStock (and for new site images, that's my go-to site, but they're way too high priced for every day blog articles).
Turns out DepositPhotos api is broken and has been for a few months and they all but refuse to fix it. So I'm back to the manual photo shuffle again.
If you value your sanity, just go buy from another stock photo provider - one more reputable and reliable. I bought cheaply and I got what I paid for.
Once I figured out subscriptions meant “auto-renew” I got it. I buy 50/mo easy, so monthly sub beats credit prices. Suport guy said to time sub to renew just before big deadlines, so theres time to order out of next month if I run out, which was smart advice. Keywords are wonky, tho.
Your site was recommended by an editor when we were putting together a special report. I knew what type of images I wanted so when I went to your site and entered the keyword, I liked the choices that came up. The site was easy to navigate and the price was reasonable. I will be back. Thank you!
Find what i want in 3 clicks usally, not seeing the probs reported here. I like it for the new images every week. Yah, theres old stuff, which is okay, but I laff when I see I'm the first to use a new photo. Ha! Take that iStockholes.
I received plenty of emails from depositphotos. The offers, discounts, free trials, etc. Their claims of cheapest price and even 20% discount with 2million happy customers made me believe I would received a great deal from depositphotos.
I didn't know that depositphotos will take my money and suspend my account without any reason. I reported this immediately but was treated rudely by their customer sales team and after complaint with Better Business Bureau and 30 emails between depositphotos and me and they refused to give me a full refund.
I hope Better Business Bureau will take action and I will receive a full refund.
I would strongly advise people against this company, rude people are at the other end of your emails.
Unbelievable and I now realise that I have fallen for the age old scam. So I have spent about £213.00 for a subscription which I only used for only one day and now I don't have access to my account and money.
Please don't use this one and be heartbroken as I was.
Buy cheap Pay twice - Depositphotos is a SCAM
I purchased a ONE-month subscription service from Depositohotos. There was no indication that this subscription would be renewed monthly, no email, no notification, nothing. When I saw that my credit card had been charged another $69.00 in April, I immediately contacted the company on their online customer chat and spoke with someone named "Sheena." She basically told me that I had bought a renewable subscription. Finally, she agreed to contact their Financial Department to see what they could do for me. She said that she would get back to me the following day. It is now May 2014, and I never heard from her. There may indeed be something in the very tiny fine print that says that the charge will be renewed monthly, but I have screenshots of the order form I filled out and the receipt I received from them, and nowhere is it mentioned that the charge will renew.
Answer: I chose them because other websites are too expensive for the amount you get. This is not an issue if this is being done in a commercial setting as cost is part of doing business. I on the other hand am a digital artist who creates non commercially and do not profit off my creations. I create for the sake of creating. I am able to get 30 downloads for $30 a month which for my purposes is perfect. For someone that just wants to create art non commercially then depositphotos offers the best value.
