What they are saying about PhotoSourceBOOK…
Photographers
"Your services are great I'm a member of the PhotoSourceBOOK and its electronic
version, PhotoSourceBANK. In the past I had to rely on three different stock
agencies that required constant updated shipments. The PhotoSourceBOOK has
truly changed my marketing ability. In the past, I depended on others to distribute
my images. Turning to PhotoSourceBOOK resolved the logistics problems. My
production expenses are far less. It has opened the world to my work. Now
I do my marketing myself with the help of the PhotoSourceBOOK and its referrals.
My sales have dramatically increased significantly. "
- Charles P. Gillespie, M.D., Photographer,
Albany GA
"Having Horticultural Photography(TM) included in the PhotoSourceBank/PhotoSourceBook is a major part of our marketing strategy. The qualified leads we have received have more than paid for the fees to be part of the system. "
- Ms. Robin M. Orans, Horticultural Photography(TM)
Campbell, CA
"Since I regularly add new images to my stock files, I really value the ease with which I can update my keyword list and other information on the PhotoSourceBANK as often as I want. "

-Sam Pierson, Photographer, Houston, Texas
"Like everything else that originates from PhotoSource International, the PhotoSourceBOOK is quite exceptional in its scope, its coverage, and its layout. Since its publication I have had a number of calls from editors who contacted me as a result of my page in PhotoSourceBOOK and have made several sales as a result. I look forward to the 2002 edition of this highly useful resource in photo marketing."
-Lee Snider, Photo Images, New York, New York
"Just received my first call from a photobuyer who was very impressed with the layout of the PhotoSourceBOOK. Glad I chose to be listed in your first year of publication."
-Angel Wynn, Photographer, Bellevue Idaho
"PhotoSourceBOOK: excellent job. It's smart looking and nicely laid out. I already received one phone call and two e-mails from photo researchers as a result of being listed."
- Richard Dagasta, Photographer, Pleasant Valley, New York
"So far, I have received... three [contacts as a result of] PhotoSourceBOOK, with two sales (around $400). However, I have also received a couple of messages not referring to anything - and I didn't contact these people myself! One of them looks promising - I'll keep you posted."
-Witold Skrypczak, Photographer, Houston, Texas
"I have made one sale. I was called to do an assignment to cover a project at a local elementary school for U*S* Kids magazine. I earned $900.00 and expenses. I am hoping for some more calls."
-Anne Mannik, Photographer, Longwood, Florida

"I just wanted to let you know, the Longbeach Aquarium in California bought 3 of my photos for their promotional information. They just contacted me to re-use my photo's on the information signs as permanent part of their new Lorikeet Display. I got this job from one of your listings. I never made it to Hollywood, but at least I will go down in history in Longbeach. Thanks a million."
-Jodi Jacobson, Photographer, Cherry Hill, New Jersey
"My first sale in USA was because of Rohn's 'PhotoLetter' in 1979. He has been a constant source of encouragement and advice. Anything he does is for the benefit of his subscribers. So also was PhotoSourceBOOK conceived."

" I've found The PhotoSourceBOOK directory extremely helpful when I need difficult subject matter -- unusual cultures of peoples, vegetation or agricultural art, etc. If I did more stock searches than I do, I'm sure I'd Velcro it to myself."
Billie Porter, Photo Research
Newburyport, Massachusetts,
"I reach for the PhotoSourceBOOK when I'm in a pinch for a specific photo. It has come in handy many, many times."
Peter Cannon
Hawaiian Resources
Waialua, Hawaii
"Yes I found the PhotoSourceBOOK useful. It did come just after I finished my search for this year's photography so I will have a better opinion by this time next year. Thanks for sending it.
I use the directories the most and then the subject area notes, geographic coverage and other services entries. If I need to look for a specific item, I go on-line to the PhotoSourceBANK, because online the search highlights the copy I need. I really appreciate the current contact information, especially e-mail addresses."
Pat Buckley, Freelance Photo Researcher
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
"The book is fabulous! It's made my life over.
"Nice to have a paper version. The computer is not always on line."
Clare Maxwell, Photo Researcher, Adventure House
New York, New York
"It has a number of individual photographers in it that I haven't found in other resources. As a researcher with editorial emphasis I find myself needing more than ever quick ways to access individual photographers; the larger stock agencies are focusing more and more on advertising needs and I can't get what I need from them."
Fred Ullrich, Manager Visual Media Services, Fermilas
Batavia, Illinois,
" Yes, I find it useful. Thanks."
Lynn Lagowski, Art Director, Blue Mound Graphics

I have used it many times since I received it."

Kathryn Klanderman, Photo Researcher, American Kennel Club
New York, New York
" Nicely designed, easy to use - though I wish there was a thumbnail image to go with each profile -- 'as they say, one picture is worth a thousand words....' "
Steve Tomajczyk, Author, Photo Journalist, Turning Point Communications
Loudon, New Hampshire,
"It's a wonderful resource, but I still find that I lean toward listing my photo needs with the PhotoDaily rather than searching through the book for photographers who may have what I'm looking for.
As for the book itself, it's well designed and easy to use. The contact information and website referral are a blessing. I can see the creative work/style of a photographer first and then call him or her to discuss a project."
Arlette Shaeffer, Photo Researcher, Weekly Reader Corporation
Stamford, Connecticut
"Yes, I do find it very helpful."
Marybeth Kavanagh, Researcher, Kavanagh Media Research

"It arrived one day when I was stumped for fish and marine-wild life, and I was able to contact a few photographers within the book."
