New Record For Sr El License $5100 - Stock Photography Blog

New record for SR-EL license - $5,100

posted on 24th of october, 2007

The previous record of $4,500 for a SR-EL license was exceeded today with a $5,100 sale. The file was acquired with exclusive SR-EL rights by a chocolate producer.

The image listed on the left is for illustration purposes only. The acquired file was very similar, but it is not this file. We cannot post the original here, but I thought this info would be useful to contributors and to everyone analyzing our industry.

And just as a side note, being exclusive matters. Royalties awarded to the non exclusive photographer would be $2,550. The exclusive additional royalties for such sale add $510 more, which is not bad at all.

	Posted by Enigmacypher on February 04, 2013 The post wasn't clear to me ... was this a record for DT or for the industry? Was this a DT sale, or was it from somewhere else? Congratulations to all involved.
	Posted by Achilles on February 04, 2013 Yes, this was beaten several times. Current record is at $6,000.

	Posted by Kcphotos on May 24, 2011 In case you didn't notice, this sale took place in 2007! This is an old posting...
	Posted by Diavata on May 24, 2011 Not sure why my previous post showed up twice, but then I might as wekk use this one to edit it with the words that 'no, I did not notice the date. The post was on top of all blog posts, so I just replied to it, assuming it was recently posted'.
	Posted by Diavata on May 24, 2011 I'd probably die instantly due to extreme hyperventilation, nevermind the extra $510 (just kidding, of course!) Congratulations to the contributor!
	Posted by Uptall on May 23, 2011 nice price really
	Posted by Sophiesourit on September 16, 2008 woaouh very impressiv.....
	Posted by Markogt on March 05, 2008 Inspiring news! Did the photographer set the price or was the price negotiated between Dreamstime and the client who bought it? Because usually the recommended price is lower. And I bet nobody wants to set prices that are very high?
	Posted by Amyemilia on February 11, 2008 Nice to see that someone with a small portfolio can be successful... thank you for sharing. I look forward to the day when it happens for me!
	Posted by Mmc12 on November 27, 2007 Woow! My compliments to the author and to the Dreamstime that makes all this possible! ;-)

	Posted by Cathysbelleimage on October 24, 2007 That is awesome news ! Huge congratulations to the photographer ( Elena ?) and to DT !! Bravo ! We can only visualize one of our own image now and make it happen, right ? ;O) Well done !
	Posted by Thefinalmiracle on October 24, 2007 Thanks Serban, It is surely useful to me as a contributor to know what kind of pictures have SR-EL sales.
	Posted by Antonia on October 24, 2007 Oh lala..Big congrats to the photographer and Dreamstime who made this chance possible. I presume that the photo had no downloads, when bought right? If so, then I don´t have any reason to lament if some of my images don´t get downloaded...
	Posted by Dcwcreations on October 24, 2007 Congrats, and a well done to Dreamstime and the photographer. I also get some sick sense of analysis paralysis in the fact that the subject appears to be a flower.
	Posted by Kuanchong on October 24, 2007 wow! amazing.. Congrats to the contributor! and congrats to DT too!
