If you’re a photographer who’s tired of losing money to stock image websites which don’t grant you the commission to which you feel entitled, check out PhotoShelter, a newly-launched website for commercial stock images which plans on offering artists a much higher cut of its profit from sales than do other similar sites like Corbis (PhotoShelter is currently advertising up to 70% commission). Additionally, PhotoShelter lets photographers price their own images (starting values begin at US $50), and offers pricing tools so you can figure out approximately how much your work should go for.

Artists also have access to information regarding who buys their images and for how much. On the other end, buyers have access to an amazingly accurate and specialized search engine which lets them run either a keyword image search or a search by artist.
