Digital Railroad's Business Model Cited in "Business Week" as Alternative to Getty Images for Buyers and Photographers
"A lot of photographers have gone back to marketing themselves directly, discovering other ways to put their images onto the market. One such option is Digital Railroad, a website founded four years ago that allows agencies and photographers to self-publish work. It returns 80 percent of sales to the photographer. "We're not an agency, we're a marketplace. We let anyone publish, and the best get voted to the top," says Evan Nisselson, the company's founder. "The holy grail is a community that'll replace the need for gatekeepers. They [are the ones who] keep the best images from being seen by buyers."
August 2007
High praise for Marketplace from John Harrington in Photo Business News and Forum. In a detailed article, the writer of the well-known Professional Photography Blog reviewed the results to date for Marketplace. Information came from both Digitalrailroad.net Archive members and Image Buyer members. His conclusion:

“It seems like this train has left the station and is full steam ahead. If you're not aboard now, Digital Railroad and Marketplace are worth a serious look. I'd expect that, in short order, whether via additional image licensing, or as a mark-up-able service to clients, both Marketplace and Digital Railroad's services could be a profit center for you too.”

Digital Railroad, the trusted provider of Web-based archiving and marketing services for the professional photography industry, announced the public beta launch of its online Marketplace. Marketplace has been designed to empower members of the professional photography community to more efficiently manage, market, and license their images while making it easier than ever for professional photo buyers to find and license images. Utilizing a sophisticated permission-based global search, editors and buyers are able to search members' images, as they are contributed, by keyword, captions, community ratings, and other relevant metadata.

"The launch of Marketplace marks an important milestone in the evolution of the professional photography industry, delivering buyers unprecedented access to great photographer and agency images previously unavailable in one online destination. The combination of Marketplace as an extension to individual archives gives photographers and agencies a seamless marketing opportunity on one online platform," said Evan Nisselson, Digital Railroad founder and CEO. "Every minute of every day our community members around the world are creating, uploading, captioning, searching, buying, and rating new images in real-time — the best images will rise to the top in the Marketplace and continue to improve and evolve over time."

With the help of modern communications, and a marketing tool, Digital Railroad, the agency has quickly joined the mainstream of modern photojournalism." Digital Railroad continues to assist photographers in marketing their work; AINA photos in the gallery at The Digital Journalist link directly back to AINA's photo archive, powered by Digital Railroad.
