With new activities we want to achieve more for you

As a service provider for everything to do with pictures, we are constantly developing. We want to strengthen the loyalty of our existing customers with new products. At the same time, we are expanding our service portfolio in such a way that we can also address completely new customer groups. As our contributor, you will benefit from this in the long term.

*New: Video
*
We are planning to offer videos on our website in the near future. If you are interested in supplying us with footage, please contact Nico Stengert.

*New: Creative services from the idea to the finished product
*
Our new Creative Department is now offering additional creative services for certain online and print projects, such as calendars, postcards or websites. Upon customer request, we either take over individual work steps such as idea & concept, design & composition, image licenses and/or production. Alternatively, we also deliver the complete package from the idea to the finished product, if required in the customer's corporate design.

*New: Central image purchasing
*
As an independent service provider, we manage image procurement for publishers, companies or advertising agency groups - from research and rights clearance to the final purchase. And not only for images. We also license videos, icons, music and fonts for our customers.

What else we do for you

We promote you: We promote you and your images wherever we can. On our website, on social media and in our diverse newsletter formats. Here we regularly introduce new photographers and our photographer of the month. We also showcase exceptional new image uploads.

We keep you informed: In our Blog for Photographers and also via newsletter, we inform you about news and things worth knowing about image rights, about our free webinars or about exciting experiences or reports from other contributors and much more.

We brief you: In our monthly Contributor Briefing, you'll find out from us which motifs are currently in demand with customers and which themes are missing from our image database. This way you can produce specifically for us and the customers.

We will arrange additional assignments for you: Our customers can book photographers for shoots through mauritius images. If you would like to take part, please get in touch with us.

We reward you: Photographers from whom we publish more than 1,000 new images on our website in the calendar year 2022, we will increase their share of sales in 2023 - from 1 January to 31 December! This also applies to the following years until further notice. Please note, however, that for organisational reasons we can only consider image submissions until 15 December for the share increase of a given year. You can find further information HERE.

What you can do to make your images even more successful

Keywording: Please try not to use too many keywords. We are more concerned with relevance than quantity when it comes to keywords. There should be no more than 25 keywords, including conceptual keywords - such as "loneliness" or "hope".

Caption: Due to Google indexing, please try to limit your captions to a maximum of 124 characters.

Seasonal Topics: If possible, we require image uploads on seasonal themes - e.g. Christmas, New Year's Eve, Easter, Valentine's Day etc. - as far as possible 6 months before the actual event. Only then can we place the images directly with the customers, because they produce months in advance.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Best regards,
Heike Sickert, Nico Stengert and the mauritius images Art Department Team
