Getty Images Wants Your Photos

Getty Images has announced a call for artists on Flickr.

(from Flickr.com)

Getty Images are hosting a Flickr group where members can submit images to be considered for invitation to the Flickr Collection. Please visit the Getty Images Call for Artists group for full details on how to make your submission.

Users can submit a portfolio of 10 images to the Getty Images Call for Artists group and selected group members will receive an invitation from Getty to join the Flickr Collection. 

A quick scan of the submissions so far shows lots of portraits and landscapes - but very few underwater images. Out of 40,000 images, only 79 were underwater images. That's less than one-fifth of one percent - and most of the images were shot in a pool.

According to the website they're looking for images which are,

"...relevant to a creative, commercial stock photography collection, so subjects like news, celebrities, and product photography should not be included."
