Visuals Unlimited stock agency - experiences?

Hello. I am looking for feedback about <a

href="http://www.visualsunlimited.com">Visuals Unlimited</a>, a stock

agency that specializes in Science/Nature images, preferably from

people who have worked with them in the past. <p>

I've been thinking for a while about farming out the marketing of my

images to a stock agency. Photography is only a sideline for me and

I've not got the time or inclination to devote to running a small

business. Nonetheless, I often deal with several requests per week,

usually generated through Google traffic to my web site <a

href="http://www.myrmecos.net">myrmecos.net</a>. The folks at Visuals

Unlimited contacted me out of the blue this morning, as they are

interested in signing me on. I had not heard of them, but a cursory

web search about the company shows that they are relatively high-

profile and well-connected for science photography. What I'd like to

hear from photo.netters are experiences from nature photographers who

have worked with this company regarding whether their experiences

were worthwhile.

<p>

Thanks,

<p>

Hi Alex,

<p>

I have heard of VU, but do not know any contributing photographers. You might want to ask this question on the <a href="http://www.stockphoto.net">stock photo board</a>.

You might want to consider <a href="http://www.photoresearchers.com/main.html">Photo Researchers</a> or <a href="http://www.heilmanphoto.com">Grant Heilman</a>. Both specialize in the natural sciences and I've heard great things about them.

<p>

Hope this helps.

This once was a very good agency. After some big changes a few years ago I think that has changed. It may still be a nice agency for science and medical photography. Your work may fit in well with them. Good luck.

. . . Trying to contact them. . .

In the opening post there is a link, I have repeated it here: "Visuals Unlimited"

The link is active and at that website (and it seems that it was updated in 2018), there is an email contact form.
