World leading Stock agency Alamy welcomes VMRelease™

We at VMRelease™ are very proud to announce yet another world leader has joined the ever expanding list of high profile image providers who recognize the unique value that the VMRelease™ offers to any image creator working with Still or In Motion capture.

26 million and growing...

Alamy is unique in the way in which they operate unlike many other stock agencies, Alamy work on a open door policy for the submission of images. This allows for a truly diverse source of imagery from pro's through to talented amateurs in addition to this images are also sourced via a mix imagery from news archives, museums and national collections.

Therefore it should be of no real surprise that Alamy holds over 26 million images and is currently the worlds largest collection of online images for sale.

Alamy - VMR NYC Meet Up
I recently had the pleasure of meeting up with James Allsworth of Alamy following their involvement at the Visual Connections event here in New York. James was very generous with his very limited time while in the city and in doing so walked me through some of the future plans that this amazing company have in store for it's clients and contributors.
Alamy's latest news is that of their expansion into my homeland of Australia and also into the Middle East both of which are striving market places. click here to find out more: Alamy News
We look forward to connecting with many of Alamys  contributors and in doing so introduce them to the many benefits of providing their agency with Model & Property released images.
As we say at VMR whenever you add VMRelease you add Value to both your image and your bank balance.

Make Flickr work for you!

Hey Flickr Shooter!

Did you know that as a Flickr contributor you could also submit your images to Getty Images and make some Cash...

I recently meet with Gettys Head of Content North America, Andrew Delaney at their New York office and while showing Andrew the latest version of our VMRelease™ V1.2 Andrew mentioned that Gettys are very excited to have content from Flickr shooters to use in various forms for Advertising via both mobile and online delivery as well as traditional print.

Release Me!
He also mentioned that one of the most important components to submitting your images via Flickr is that Getty could only use or sell the images if the contributor (Photographer) supplies a legal Model or Property Release along with their images in the form of a jpeg or PDF.

We both agreed that this is where the VMRelease™ App comes into play creating both a jpeg & PDF version automatically. As you always have your phone with you, you always have the VMRelease™ available to capture/create/store and send Model/Property Releases for use in submitting your Flickr images to the world leader of image content.

What a great combination Getty / Flickr and VMRelease™


VMRelease™ accepted Worldwide by Getty Images....

Our Releases are Free!

No Dirty Tricks here!

A photographer asked me the other day...

"Does VMRelease™ charge per release as another application that is free to download does?"

My answer was simple "Never, no,  nadda"you kidding me no way! You pay a one time fee to download the App then create as many as you like for FREE!"

We at VMRelease™ believe in true transparency and no hidden fees, that's just not nice... it's a little bit like trickery.

It's like saying here have this free app then when you get on set or location to use it you are hit with a fee per release. We at VMRelease™ don't believe in the "pusher" way of working with our valued customers, we prefer to put everything up front right from the get go.

VMRelease™ gives you the freedom to create and send /store as many releases as your little thumbs can hammer out!

The Wait is Over!

Yes that time has finally come! The long years of dropped calls are now over. Verizon now is clear to offer the new G4 iPhone on their huge network.
Yet another reason to switch if you haven't already to the convenience and style of the iPhone, todays Social Media remote control.
Oh yes and once you have there is a nifty little App you can download.
Visual Media Release's talent release, in your hand where ever and when ever you need it.

Verizon offers iPhone :)

Battle Lines Shift as Both Verizon and AT&T have rights to Apple's iPhone.

So now the wait is almost over people, with Apple's 3 yr contract with AT&T near it's end, Verzion are now pushing forward with their plans to provide subscribers with the iPhone.

I don't think I would rush out and buy shares in AT&T at the moment...

With this major development it will allow more of our creative clients and customers to enjoy our Visual Media Release App with the comfort of knowing that they now have a choice of service providers.

Good News all around.
