Introduction: Our focus, what sells and what doesn't
Citizen Image's Content Focus

Our goal for image content at Citizen Image is to represent what the citizen photographers of the world witness every day through their viewfinders. Whereas other sites deal exclusively with either editorial or creative image content, Citizen Image syndicates images that span both the photojournalistic and creative worlds. We recognize that you need a single trusted outlet to market/sell all of your marketable images.

Citizen Image welcomes every type of editorial content - from the mundane to the earth shattering: We welcome news, sporting events, celebrity sightings, topical weather shots plus those fun shots of everyday life and happenings that create the bridge to the creative world...

...and speaking of creative content, we want everything that sells with a bias towards real people in real life situations- all business situations, industry shots, lifestyles, people of all descriptions, animals, nature, architecture, entertainment, concepts, abstracts and so forth. Situations that you witness or experience in your every day lives.

A note on quality

We accept great images from all levels of photographers using all types of equipment. Our buyers demand high quality images that are free of flaws so therefore we require that you adhere to our submission guidelines and technical specifications. Images are reviewed for quality and vetted by our staff of photo editors.

We do, however, make quality exceptions for newsworthy images. If you are in the right place at the right time but have the wrong camera (say just a camera phone) with you, take the picture anyway and get it to us fast at newsalert@citizenimage.com so we can market it on your behalf. If you already have an account with Citizen Image you can MMS the message directly to your account at username.member@citizenimage.com.
