You know I was about to post a response with something like "Wow, that is amazing! Not many make those numbers..." I even clicked on the portfolio and thought "wow, this guy is good, I wonder who he is..."
And then I check the portfolio and realize it's Yuri... Yuri F'ing master of microstock Arcurs.
And i'm just speechless, lol.
Not that the congrats isn't deserved, the opposite really. It just makes it feel more difficult when the master of something comments he just broke 1000 (and then 1700) when some of us want to break 10Dls in one day :p (I'm just starting really...)
Definite grats! I'm just worried that I'll never say anything that prestigious, lol. |

There are so many great photographers in microstock and I would like to credit the following photographers for continually pushing the competitive level of microstock further upward and setting the standards high! These individuals all have special features and qualities that make them very successful: Andreas R, Lisegagne, Dewayne Flowers, EML, Liv friis-larsen, Mariusz Szachowski, dash, dolgachov and vgstudio!
I am proud of being a microstock contributor and I truly believe in the microstock way of selling pictures. I do however believe that the general prices on pictures at microstock agencies will rise over the next couple of years and I believe we will see microstock prices merge with, or get close to, prices found at royalty manages sites. Because the quality of pictures accepted at microstock agencies today is at least as good as some of the royalty managed agencies I contribute to, I believe the prices in microstock are a bit too low right now. A person does not care if he has to pay $1 or $10 for a picture, as long as he likes it and as long as it fits his project. When the microstock industry realizes this, (such as Jon obviously has) they will start to generate massive income.
I had a meeting with C..… images in New York just a few months ago and became even more happy to be a microstocker. NO way… could I accept or be a part of what was offered to me at this agency. Even dough you can find some of my pictures at some of the “old school” high priced agencies, this only generates about 15% of my total income. Microstock rocks! |
Your story is a really interesting and inspiring one, well done to you for such a terrific achievement!!

I doubt he's standing still long enough to reflect for too long, he's planning his next milestone |

Why is this not on the front page instead of all the 'show me..'
This is truly inspirational.
Congratulations Yuri, you deserve it. |

Anyways, awesome Port and nice youtube block! Thanks for sharing and giving so much insight there! |

I got 7 in one day (the same month I got approved) and just about threw myself a party. Then I thought, wait, that's all of $1.75. Well, still.
But 1000 in one day? I'd need to swear to express my disbelief. He deserves it, no doubt.
And yes, it does give one something to dream about. |
