VideoBlocks Launches Stock Photo Marketplace, Lets Photographers Keep All of Their Photos' Sales

VIDEOBLOCKS LAUNCHES THE MOST ARTIST-FRIENDLY STOCK PHOTO MARKETPLACE, GIVING PHOTOGRAPHERS 100% OF THEIR SALES

VideoBlocks Powers through on Path of Industry Disruption, Launching Stock Photo Marketplace that will Allow Contributors to Keep 100 Percent of their Sales

Reston, VA, April 24, 2017 – VideoBlocks, the first subscription-based provider of royalty-free stock media, today announced the launch of its artist-friendly stock Photo Marketplace that will reward photo contributors with 100 percent commission from their sales.

In a market where stock photo prices have dropped while commissions have been cut, VideoBlocks believes photographers deserve more. On a mission to democratize stock media and provide creative content that everyone can afford, VideoBlocks' new Marketplace will be comprised of images sourced from the industry's most talented photographers and content creators.

Given the high demand for stock photos by its members, with more than half of customers downloading photos in just the past year, VideoBlocks sees this new product as the logical next step in expanding its existing service offerings and providing the mass creative community with access to the highest quality, and most affordable, stock media available.

"The success of our Video Marketplace, helping artists earn more through our unrivaled 100% commissions, as well as the incredible choice and savings we have passed on to our members, gave us the confidence that we could build a truly different kind of Photo Marketplace," said TJ Leonard, CEO of VideoBlocks. "Our members told us they were fed up with expiring credits and pricing schemes that required a calculator to figure out what you were paying for an image. They wanted a simple, affordable, on demand photo solution. What better way to do this than to open it up to our talented, creative community to contribute? With this model, everyone wins."

The new Photo Marketplace will mirror the business model and success of its Video Marketplace predecessor. Launched in 2015, the Video Marketplace has given back more than $6 million by providing 100 percent commission to content creators. It has built a library of over four million videos years faster than its predecessors, and VideoBlocks' over 200,000 members enjoy a 40 percent discount on the entire archive.

The first to make 3D virtual reality, 360-degree stock video content accessible to the mass creative class, VideoBlocks has continued to increase its disruptive product portfolio and provide access to high-quality digital media assets at the most affordable price. Just this past year, VideoBlocks surpassed 100 million downloads, a testament to their loyal community hungry to create and contribute the best quality of stock media assets.

Three World-Renowned Photographers Join Arctic and Antarctic Cruise Specialist Poseidon Expeditions

Filip Kulisev, James Balog, and David McKay will host seminars and workshops for passengers on upcoming Polar cruises.

Sea Spirit and 50 Years of Victory

PROVIDENCE, R.I. - April 27, 2017 - PRLog -- Three internationally renowned photographers will travel with polar cruise expert Poseidon Expeditions on select voyages in 2017 and 2018. On these journeys the photographers will host seminars and workshops for passengers.

The celebrity photographers are Filip Kulisev (http://www.amazing- planet.com/en/ author), James Balog(http://jamesbalog.com) and David McKay(https:// davidmckayphotography.com) . They will headline an accomplished Expedition Team (https://poseidonexpeditions.com/ about/team/) of top specialists including scientists, marine biologists, geologists, explorers and historians who regularly accompany each Poseidon Expeditions (https://poseidonexpeditions.com/) departure.

Filip Kulisev, whose Amazing Planet (http://www.amazing- planet.com/en/ home) series has captured international attention, is collaborating with Poseidon Expeditions to secure a new series of images of icy landscapes and diverse polar world wildlif e on his multiple voyages into the polar realm. This partnership is in preparation for a late autumn 2018 exhibit at Monaco's Galerie des Pêcheurs. Monaco's Prince Albert II will preside over the exhibition's opening.

Nikolay Saveliev, President of Poseidon Expeditions (https://poseidonexpeditions.com/ ), said that the company is honored to be a part of the project.

Kulisev's work and publications are part of the collections of eminent personalities around the world, including Pope Francis, His Royal Highness Prince Charles, His Serene Highness Prince Albert II of Monaco, Russian President Vladimir Putin, Slovak President Andrej Kiska, and many others. He will join the following departures:

·   -22 May - 06 June 2017 South and West Greenland and Disko Bay

·   -14 June - 27 June 2017 North Pole

·   -28 June - 08 July 2017 West Spitsbergen & Ice Cap

·   -14 Aug -29 Aug 2017 Franz Josef Land

·   - 03 Jan - 23 Jan 2018 Falklands, South Georgia & Antarctica

Renowned National Geographic photographer James Balog will join a July 8-20, 2018 North Pole voyage aboard the nuclear-powered icebreaker, I/B 50 Years of Victory (https://poseidonexpeditions.com/ ships/50-years- of-victory/). He and his team are famous for the largest calving glacier ever captured on film: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=hC3VTgIPoGU. His work explores the relationship between humans and nature. Since the early 1980s Balog has photographed such subjects as endangered animals, North America's old-growth forests, and polar ice. His work aims to combine insights from art and science to produce innovative, dynamic and sometimes shocking interpretations of our changing world. His best-known project explores the impact of climate change on the world's glaciers. In 2007 he initiated the Extreme Ice Survey, the most wide-ranging ground-based photographic glacier study ever conducted.

National Geographic magazine showcased Balog's ice work in 2007, 2010, and 2013, and the project is featured in the 2009 NOVA documentary Extreme Ice as well as the 75-minute film Chasing Ice, which premiered in January 2012. Balog's book Ice: Portraits of the World's Vanishing Glaciers summarizes the work of the Extreme Ice Survey through 2012. Chasing Ice won an Emmy Award in 2014 and was short-listed for an Oscar. It has been screened at the White House, in the U.S. Congress, in the U.K. House of Commons, and at the United Nations. It has been the subject of features on the NBC Nightly News, ABC Nightline, The Late Show with David Letterman, PBS's Moyers & Company, and Real Time with Bill Maher.

In January 2016, Balog began production on another feature-length documentary film, Life Tectonic (working title), exploring the environmental effects of the Anthropocene. The film is scheduled to debut in early 2018.

David McKay, author of the award-winning book, Yuba Seasons: Images of the Wild & Scenic South Yub a River, along with several of his professional colleagues will lead a photography expedition on a June 27-July 5, 2018 West Spitsbergen and Polar Ice Edge trip aboard the 114-passenger M/V Sea Spirit (https://poseidonexpeditions.com/ ships/sea-spirit/) . He has been a professional photographer for over 40 years and began teaching photography in 1976. Since 1974, McKay has had numerous shows and exhibits, won several awards, and has had his work published in national newspapers, magazines, brochures and books.

McKay says, "I am a photographer of the environment. Whether it is a cityscape or landscape, I immerse myself in my surroundings and capture them in creative ways through my lens. You can't force creativity. You have to allow it, by being a part of where you are, not as a detached observer. I become something different when I pick up a camera and look through that magical window."

Poseidon Explorations' complete 2017-2018-2019 Arctic and Antarctic schedules, rates and special offers can be found at https://poseidonexpeditions.com/ . A new 80-page catalog detailing the company's ships and activities is also available, and can be requested online or through any of the Poseidon Expeditions offices.

Two photographers arrested for photographing Brazil protest

Striking police officers set fire to coffins to protest plans to cut police pensions in Brasilia, April 18, 2017. (AP/Eraldo Peres)

Police on April 17, 2017, arrested two Brazilian photographers who were taking photographs of a barricade of burning tires in the Jardins neighborhood of São Paulo and accused them of starting the fire, according to one of the photographers and the police report, which CPJ has reviewed.

Two police officers stopped André Lucas de Almeida and Gustavo Ferreira de Oliveira, members of the C.H.O.C. Documental collective, as they finished photographing a protest organised by the Free Pass Movement (MPL, by its Portuguese acronym), Almeida told CPJ by telephone. The officers ordered them to put their hands on their heads, he said.

"We were stopped, and they said that we started the fire and that they had [security camera footage] to prove it," Almeida said. "They accused us of lacking ethics and shouted at us. They told us to bow our heads when we spoke to them."

Police took the two men to a nearby barracks, where officers questioned them and took their pictures. Almeida said police made him take off his shirt so they could photograph a tattoo on his chest. They were then transported to the 15th Precinct station where, among other things, they were asked if they had any links to political parties, Almeida added.

Both men could face up to six years in prison for the alleged crime, according to a report published online by Carta Capital magazine.

A police statement reviewed by CPJ confirmed the arrests and said the two men were detained after "a witness reported that they participated in the act in which the tires were burned to block the road."

The statement said the photographers were questioned and released and that police were investigating the incident.

CPJ could not contact Oliveira.

What Makeup Artists Wish Photographers Knew

Makeup artists are an invaluable part of the creative team for many photographers. In fact, there are certain genres of photography that rely so heavily on makeup artists that we simply couldn't work without them. Unfortunately, there seems to be a few serious problems cropping up between makeup artists and photographers.

My goal as a photographer is to create great images. In my chosen genres, working with a makeup artist is a given for several reasons:

  • Makeup artists help us capture our creative visions.
  • They make our clients feel like a million dollars.
  • They raise production values.
  • They bring a unique perspective to the table that can help us take our concept and hone it to a fine edge. 
  • Great images are, more often than not, the result of collaboration, and since communication is the most important factor in working with a team, I'm always looking for ways to improve the way my team communicates. With that in mind, I asked several makeup artists what their biggest difficulties are when dealing with photographers. Some of what they had to say was things I expected to hear, and other things surprised me enough that I thought it would be worthwhile to share with the world.

    Communication seemed to be the most common theme I ran across in all the places I asked this question. Sometimes the issue was as simple as making sure the makeup artist knows what the limitations of the location are, such as lack of plumbing or poor ambient light conditions, and other times they were more specific to the mechanics of the shoot itself, such as what kind of light you plan to use during a shoot, since certain kinds of light, like colored gels, will affect how the makeup reads on camera.

    Makeup artists would also love for us to have enough understanding of makeup to, at least, give them a solid idea of what look we are trying to achieve.

    I find that some photographers (more particularly male photographers - no shade) don't always know how to communicate the looks they want. Just knowing about makeup generally (like the differences between peach nude, brown nude, etc) goes a long way.

    Also, communicating about the progression of looks. For example, I had a photographer tell me that he wanted bone straight hair and then voluminous curls (but didn't tell me that in the beginning so I could suggest doing it the other way around).

    Communication is key, period.

    Yvette Matthews-Mason

    If we, as photographers, can cover this kind of basic information, that will go a long way to helping us successfully communicate with makeup artists. However, there were some difficulties that turned out to be a bit more individualized and made me reconsider the way I approach artists I'm interested in working with.  

    As a body painter I can say that a roadblock for my process is getting SLAMMED with inspiration images (of other artist's work) right off the bat. I believe that mood boards and visual inspiration are essential for communication and cohesiveness, but I struggle removing those images from my brain to clear space for my vision and contribution to a project. I create really well when I get descriptive words like: dark, light, soft, hard, celestial, earthy, sleepy, bright... maybe a color scheme... I want to know why you're chosing that makeup or bodypaint image for inspiration, before you show it to me. I hope that makes sense. Otherwise I end up feeling like I am just regurgitating someone else's work. Another way of explaining it:

    Do:"Hey Jen, I am planning a shoot in a mansion built in the 1920s. The location is filled with luxurious details like red velvet, fur, and richly stained wood. I plan on having a color palette of *blank* on two models. I want the makeup to reflect a "gilded cage" era, maybe a feeling of 'distressed' beauty. Something like 'High class, come undone,' what do you think?"Don't:"Hey Jen, I have a shoot coming up and I am looking for makeup like this (image). Are you available?"

    I am just asking for a little foreplay, if you know what I mean. Then throw an image or two at me, just for clarity. 

    Jennifer Jensen

    Hearing that made me decide to talk to the artists I work with about their process, so I can understand how they work best, and alter my approach to communicating to that they are capable of giving me their best work.

    Another issue makeup artists are facing when dealing with photographers is not receiving images they can actually use in their portfolios.

    Heavily editing images (for some of us, like myself) will most likely not be usable for my portfolio when doing trade. I've done a lot of work with photographers who over smooth, over edit, make my models look like poreless aliens and it's pretty to some, but I like to stick to attainable beauty being in my portfolio. Clear communication on how I will receive images. Some artists give me the gallery and I can select a few, sometimes I get all of them, or they select the handful they want to give me. However, what I am looking for in my portfolio and what a photographer thinks is a great photo are two totally different things. While a photo is beautiful, it maybe far away and really not show my work in detail.

    Kat St John

    I'd say, if we did a test shoot together and you're going to go ham in post (which, you're allowed to do, I acknowledge) to the point where the intrinsic nature of the make-up I applied is altered, it would be amazingly appreciated if you could include a less processed-looking image or two in the files you send me.

    Kate Cohen 

    Other times, they aren't receiving images until several months later and, sometimes, not at all.

    Instagram screen shots are NOT the same as actually giving me my f*!#$&! images.

    Samantha Reese

    All the responses I received to this question seemed to stem from, in part, miscommunication of expectations on both sides. When doing a trade shoot, it's incumbent upon both parties to be clear about what they expect to get from the transaction. If a photographer wants a certain style of makeup, that needs to be said in no uncertain terms. If a makeup artists needs work that is edited in a certain style, that also needs to be clearly understood. Contracts go a long to way toward helping iron out this problem, since they cover exactly what each party is responsible for and what each will receive once the shoot is wrapped.

    Something else that seemed to be a common theme among makeup artists was the frustration about the lack of accountability in a very un-regulated industry. Since one doesn't require any formal training in order to become a photographer, makeup artists can often be handed images from events that are all but unusable because the photographer is inexperienced. This seems to be a common thread among wedding makeup artists in particular. The frustration is palpable.

    What I wish photographers would know is how to take a damn decent beauty shot. What I wish photographers would KNOW is that just because you have a fancy camera does not make you a XYZ photographer. I have spent the better half of the afternoon looking at images from weddings over the last few years and I am so angry. Such beautiful brides with beautiful details and beautiful hair and makeup...

    Then the photography...yo. What the f*!$ am I looking at? That s!*# isn't even good light, did you EVEN F!&#$!& TRY?

    To get a winning image (in any area of makeup or photography) the team has to work together, the light has to be good and then you have money. In my 17 years as a wedding makeup artist, never in all my life have I ever seen such shit in terms of wedding photography. I can take better photos with my iPhone. Makeup artists aren't the only one dealing with so-called 'experts'

    Sonia Roselli

    Commercial Beauty

    If you find yourself feeling defensive, I'd challenge you to question, instead, why so many makeup artists are saying the same kinds of things, and to remember that this isn't a competition to see who contributes most to a final image, but a way to find out how we can improve our work. Sure, a wedding makeup artist could hire a photographer to do a styled shoot for their portfolio, but it's also important for potential clients to see how the artist's work looks on real brides during real wedding days.

    Photographers and makeup artists need each other. Makeup artists improve the quality of our work and, without photographers, makeup artists wouldn't have their most powerful tool to promote their skill. Beautiful photographs are of value to everyone, and great final images are the result of a team who is invested and communicating well. If we, as photographers, value what makeup artists bring to the table, and we should, then we need to be doing our best to understand how we can improve our working relationship. Better communication equals better relationships which equals amazing images and a happier industry for all of us.
