PhotoShelter announces partnership with fotoQuote
PhotoShelter, a leading online archive and marketplace for professional photographers, has announced an exclusive licensing agreement with Cradoc Corporation the developer of fotoQuote, to grant PhotoShelter subscribers immediate access to fotoQuote's price information within the PhotoShelter e-commerce function. In addition, fotoQuote data will be used to populate a matrix of average pricing data and users will be able to set up multiple pricing profiles and adjust the value of those profiles as a percentage of the matrix price.
"Photographers now have the ability to determine and select a competitive price for their work. Photo buyers can access the determined price and purchase the image without photographer intervention. The benefit of this agreement is a seamless transaction for both photographers and clients," said Allen Murabayashi, chief executive officer, BitShelter LLC.
"With the integration of fotoQuote into PhotoShelter, photographers will have the ability to negotiate the fee with their client, or to create a simple pricing structure for their images," said Cradoc Bagshaw, the creator of fotoQuote and founder of Cradoc Corporation. "I've always believed that the pricing information in fotoQuote has allowed photographers to remain independent and to get paid fairly for the work that they do. I feel that the marketing tools available in PhotoShelter, combined with the pricing information in fotoQuote, give photographers a stronger position in a very competitive market."
