PhotoSourceFolio

OK, so we're tooting our own horn here, but check it out. In addition to PhotoSourceBank (www.photosource.com/psb/index.html), where you can use up to 1,500 words to describe your stock images in a fully searchable database used by photobuyers and photo editors, you can also show prospective photobuyers your unique vision. How? Via PhotoSourceFolio ( www.photosource.com/psf), a visual extension of PhotoSourceBank. We place a "hyperlink" on your PSBank page which takes photobuyers directly to your personal Folio page, where they'll find six of your images. Select the images to showcase based on your bestsellers, your particular niche, or to demonstrate your photographic breadth. And the cost? Just $4.95/month for PhotoSourceFolio! Best of all, all photographers can participate--you don't need Internet access (don't even need a modem) to have a Web presence with your personal PSFolio and/or PSBank page. For further information: Web: www.photosource.com/psf, Email: info@psf.ntnation.com, FAX: 1 818 831-0916, Voice: 1 818 831-8557.
