YAY! I made the front page of Photographer's Direct - 06-04-2007, 01:37 PM


Don't know how long it'll be up but it was pretty cool to open the site and see one of my pictures staring back at me from the front page (www.photographersdirect.com). I attached the screen capture below; my photo is the one with the girl on the swing.

Just out of curiosity, has anyone had any luck selling anything through photographer's direct? I had one sale for a decent price but the invoice never came through... still trying to track that one down! Hopefully a little front page exposure will be good for me

Congrats on the front page.

I am wondering if this isn't some sort of scam ?
I have not sold anything and I don't know anyone who has been paid for anything.

I don't know of others, so this might be a good forum to see if this is indeed a good company.

Yeah, the payment comes from the buyer, so it's legit.

I've sold one and had a long nibble on another that never finished out the sale... so they are legit, there's just a low signal to noise ratio there.

Thanks everyone. Glad to hear the site is legit, figured it was but you never know (still hoping to work that last sale through!!!). Brad, good comment about the signal to noise, there are over a million pictures on the site so that's a lot to sift through, not to mention it's probably not the only site the buyers are searching on.

Has anyone gotten a Wow! rating? I'm still trying for that :)

I've had a couple 8s, but no 9s.
