We Want Canadian Photos!
The internet is a great place for niche markets,
and Quickpixels specializes in photos taken of Canada and of Canadians.
We need shots from across Canada, every Province
and up north. Landscapes, Cities, People at work and play, Sports, Industry,
Native Plants and Animals. We also are interested in Historic pictures
you own from the last century.(at least 30 years old)
Note: we do offer
Travel images of other countries and non-Canadian subjects as well. We
will post those photos if marketable, but our focus is Canada.
We want
buyers who are looking for Canadian content to come here first. In turn,
if you shoot mainly Canadian images, please contact us.

Who Should Join?
At Quickpixels we are now accepting new submissions
from pro, semi-pro and serious amateur photographers. We are looking
for photographers that know how and what to shoot for the stock photo
market.
Our standards are high and we expect submissions to be technically
excellent. As well, photos submitted need to have potential marketing
value. We will edit out any images that do not meet those objectives.
Our aim is keep the image gallery free of filler and irrelevant imagery.
This benefits the buyer from
wading through reams of dull, similar images, saving time and retaining
our reputation as a quick source to find what they need..
Payment - we only accept
photographers who can cash cheques issued from a Canadian bank in Canadian
funds. If your bank does not accept this form of payment sorry, don't
join.
Also we communicate in English on all business
matters. (we also know some French)
Minimum Technical Requirements:
You
need at least a 8 megapixel camera with an
excellent lens. We need
JPEG files in one of two standard rectangular formats sent to us on
CD/DVDs.
35mm format - 2400x3600
pixels = 8x12" print 300dpi
4:3 format - 2400x3200 pixels = 8x10" print 300dpi
Software
for managing, retouching and editing your photos.
