Google Images, Getty and the Stock Photography Business

Getty Images is making a play now by entering the low end in force (they have the middle and middle-high end under control).Getty’s objective is less about controlling the images as it is about controlling the places that sell them. And while they may achieve a short-term monopoly on certain distribution outlets, which may result in higher prices for some small specialty markets, that short honeymoon period for Getty will end once photo-sharing sites become new outlets for photographers where the open market can decide their rates.
