What the Foap?! How to Sell Your iPhone Photos [But is it Worth It?]

The iPhone application Foap says $10. Actually…$5 after they take their cut. Here’s the rundown…
Foap is a micro stock photography app made exclusively for iPhone photography. You upload your photos for review using their app, and then when/if they’re approved they become available for purchase in their market for editorial or commercial use by third party companies. There’s no end to the number of times a single photo can be sold (at the fixed $10 rate), so there’s a lot of potential to earn money  ($5 per sold photo) if your work is popular enough.

 

So what do you think? Sound like a good deal? Personally, I’m torn about whether or not I like this concept. Photographers get an incredibly easy way to put their photos on the market, buyers get super cheap images, and Foap gets to split the profits. So who wins in this scenario? Have any of you used this or other micro stock photography services with any success?

If this sounds intriguing to you, check out the Foap site for more information, or better yet, take the app for a test drive.

    I thought it would only be photos shot through the phone. It is obvious that people are using other cameras and uploading to their phone and then to Foap. I don’t like that. It’s an unfair advantage. I’m a professional photographer, so I should be able to upload my pro work then??? Is this ok? I couldn’t find anything on the terms and conditions about this.

    Well, I think this has great potential in the ‘mobile amateur photo-journalist’ area of the photo-market.
    News coverage requires much less paperwork (permits, model releases, etc) than standard commercial work.
    And this (10$) sure is cheaper than sending a pro to a remote place when all the newscaster needs is one vga-resolution shot of a wrecked car, burning building, etc…
