GBTerrible management practices – Photographers stay far away Photographers stay far away! AgeFotostock has gone from bad to worse over the years! Sales have been going downhill for a long time, with commissions and sales rapidly declining. Some sales have approached pennies. Sales reporting is even worse, with many uses going unreported and unpaid for many months, if at all. To make matters worse, the management practices are absolutely horrible– The owner blames his bad business practices on photographers. He refuses to answer simple inquiries, and if you are 'lucky' enough to receive any reply it will be very likely entirely unhelpful and written in a rudely critical tone.

GBContributors beware - this agency robs you Like many contributors here, I got a very poor experience with this stock agency. I have been chasing my final invoice for the past 2 years. Their delay tactic is to come up with different excuses and asking to keep sending an updated invoice and then months go by without any response. Followups result in no communication. Their payment system is antiquated. So finally my patience has run out and have started legal proceedings against them. They will be receiving a much bigger bill than if they had just paid the invoice.

NZAGE Bankruptcy AGE are apparantly in the hands of Administrators, having declared bankruptcy. Interestingly, this decision was the instruction of the now-dead Alfonso. Suspicious? One wonders why he wanted the company wrapped up on his death - where did the money AGE received from clients, which he didn't pass own to photographers, go?

CAthank you for the beautiful photograph… thank you for the beautiful photograph of the north harbour in Helsinki. I had it mounted on a plaque. As a child I lived with my family in the apartment building with the red roof, so it has a special meaning for me. My sister and I used to go to the end of the pier and having great fun jumping in the schooners that carried sand. You made my day!

GBGreat selection of photos Great selection of photos I looked at many sites and agefotostock was the only one that had any photos of what I needed and they actually had quite a few. I did contact some other outlets that had possible photos and they all wanted to charge at least twice as much.
