HOsiHO Releases Image Bank Survival Guide

Why an Image Bank Survival Guide for Visual Artists? Because, according to HOsiHO, the French agency specializing in aerial stock images and timelapse imagery, selling one's visual works - illustrations, photos and videos - is today a multidisciplinary expertise. It’s no longer enough to have talent and a stunning portfolio to be able to claim to live properly from one's artistic and creative work. It’s necessary to know how to navigate in troubled and changing waters. Spending your time anticipating, analyzing, understanding and deciding, if possible judiciously, because any mistake is a serious waste of time in a universe where everything goes very fast.

The Internet and digital tools have opened up fantastic perspectives for image creators, who, depending on their affinity with these tools and their talent for communication, have been able to conquer the world in just a few weeks, ensuring great visibility and a great community of followers on social networks. But for the few who make it, how many remain anonymous and lost in the depths of the Web?

The Image Bank Survival Guide is not intended to show readers the path to “Star Influencer” status that few will ever achieve, but more simply to reveal the steps and traps along the way. This guide alone does not pretend to cover everything, especially not the legal intricacies concerning the transfer of copyrights, but it should help readers make the right choices and begin their journey on a solid and well thought-out footing. The Image Bank Survival Guide completes HOsiHO's global approach, which is above all an illustration agency created by artists, for artists, practicing fair prices for both buyers and image creators.
