High-end magazines and Fortune 500 clients need more exclusive and curated content, which is why they pay for Premium content. They are ready to pay higher prices ranging from $100 to $1000, depending on the usage.
Amazing Aerial only works with Premium content, not Microstock. Our work can be found in magazines such as GEO and Conde Nast Traveler, in prominent advertising campaigns, and on the front page of large portals such as Microsoft’s Bing.com
Microstock royalties are generally between $0.10 to $1 on average. Microstock clients are designers with smaller budgets or magazines that buy bundles of thousands of photos for cents.

Yes. We encourage you to build your own revenue streams. Amazing Aerial can be one of them as we licence photos and videos around the world.

Yes. We are thrilled to see our team of photographers excel in their work, from making films to taking photos for their clients. Amazing Aerial is here to support you on your journey.

Yes. Self-promotion is important and encouraged. Branding yourself is important, especially if you want to become an Amazing Aerial course instructor within our community.

No. You have to choose whether you want to sell Premium or Microstock content, you cannot do both. We cannot have the same photo selling for 10 cents at one agency and $500 at another. You are basically shooting yourself in the foot as clients will not want to pay premium prices for a photo they can find at a much lower price elsewhere. We already have established relationships with Premium customers that want high-quality work and are willing to reward you for it, so it makes no sense for you to seek out other clients that will pay much less.

Some photographers who have been with us from the beginning have earned a total personal royalty licence revenue of over $20,000. Our team members in the last year have earned between $400 and $9,000 of annual revenue. Our overall revenue has doubled over the past year, so our photographers are seeing more and more earnings as well.
How much you can expect to earn will also depend on how much work you put into the agency. To be successful, you need to shoot and upload fresh content regularly to build your portfolio and generate sales. Our clients love fresh content!

Amazing Aerial is distributed to the world’s best 35 Premium commercial, editorial and video agencies. Some of our partner agencies have an international reach, while others have a more local approach in markets such as Japan, China, Taiwan, France, Germany, etc.

We have contacts with thousands of photo buyers. A short list of renowned clients who have published our work includes GEO, GEO Saison, Conde Nast Traveler US, Microsoft, Bild, National Geographic, Funke Medien, The Observer Magazine UK, …

Exclusivity means that we are the only agency that has the right to distribute and license a your work through stock agencies. Trust us we’ve got you covered with the best agencies in the world.
Exclusivity protects your work and your income. Exclusivity also allows us to follow up on copyright infringement and get revenue from companies who use photos without permission.

The royalty split depends on the distribution method and the nature of your work. Depending on how we distribute your work, the royalties are as follows:

Partner agencies: 50-50
Direct Sales: 50-50
Assignment: 60-40: After travel and other expenses, the photographer gets a higher commission for the work. The agency takes its commission for pre-production and post-production liaising related to the job.

Amazing Aerial is on the lookout for talented and motivated photographers who want to grow their skills, be part of a tight-knit team, and earn income from their work.
If you have drive, you can be a good fit for us regardless of your experience level. In the early days, many of our aerial photographers were just at the beginning of their career, but they had motivation. Some now employ teams of people, have production companies, or make a living travelling the world shooting photographs.

The LIVE course meets once a week over a period of 4 weeks. Each lesson will be approximately 90 minutes.

We currently have 160 photographers from 60 countries. We are looking to grow our team of talented photographers through the Academy so we can support them once they join the Agency.
