There is a round “close” button on the upper right corner of the window… just click on it and it closes the window!

Personnaly I don’t sell my photos I just share them using Joomeo (http://www.joomeo.com).

I really love this website, certainly the most powerfull to share your photos privately.

This service is available to anyone with a website. We currently have photographers from 24 countries.

Thank you!

The link you copied is not using BuyThisImage! but thank you for allowing me to clarify that we offer two technologies:

1) a Javascript widget that adds a BuyThisImage! button below each image.

See the video at buythisimage.com (TC is blocking my comments every time I include that URL)

2) An HTML link that parses the referral site for photos. For an example, see:
http://www.macb...l_abery-t1.html

I am sure that there are some differences in our implementation and management screens but the bottom line is that the process is the same for both services from a photographer’s point of view:

1) sign-up for a subscription free service
2) add a little bit of code (JS or HTML) to the photographer’s website
3) notify the photographer when an order has been placed and let them upload the high-res photo

After all, #3 is what has been the issue before; the requirement to upload a photo to another service before offering it on your website.

It is true that you enter more information in your widget than you do in ours but eventually you do leave the photographer’s website for the final check out, as you do with BuyThisImage! but other than that, I don’t see much difference.

Regarding print services, we shared your experience which is why we print over 95% of our orders in house. When we launched ExposureManager, we outsourced all printing. As we scaled up, we found that in order to properly service our thousands of professional photographers there was no other option to do it ourselves. Besides that this ensures absolute quality (and no order mix-ups with other services!), it also enables us to offer advice to photographers when needed.

Anyway Ahmad, best of luck with your service and congrats on being mentioned on TC. I am sure we’ll cross paths some time. If you are ever in LA, feel free to stop by and say hi.

and this robin has no clue what she is writing about but all kudos for your company on this puff piece. nice to have this connection for you.

there is not a shred of journalism here.

While most of the photo selling sites usually charge a subscription fee plus 15% or more, we have no subscription fee. This means photographers *only* pay if/when they make money.

Our Alpha version has been around since October ‘08. We just launched our closed beta to ensure software quality. Most of our functionality lies within our control panel, for analytics, photo editions, per-photo pricing and availability, and more once our photographers log into the system

What we have done which is unique is our patent-pending “widget” — quite different from your offering which is a link that checks referral URL to find the photo. To see the fundamental difference, compare Fotomoto

with BuyThisImage:

Additionally, after testing tens of print shops it was obvious to us that there is no single print shop that can offer the best quality for all products, that’s why we decided to go with several fulfillment partners, and offer the best of the market to our users.

Best of luck,

Thank you for pointing this out. We are rolling out a new version of the widget in two days, with the option to buy multiple items, as well as several other major improvements.

Expect to see new features from us every other week or so!
