All sales and payments are made in Russian rubles. Prices in US dollars are provided for reference, and are calculated at the current daily exchange rate.
Information on images sold is always available on the author's dashboard at Lori.ru (in Russian only). We can also send you a monthly e-mail report in English on sales of your work. Royalties are paid out when the amount on your account has reached $50 or more. Royalties are paid in US dollars using the online payment systems Paypal or Payoneer. The amount is calculated based on the exchange rate of the Central Bank of Russia as of the day of payment.
We accept images with names, descriptions, and keywords in English. Model releases may also be in English. We do accept model releases created for other photo agencies.
We can automatically import metadata from the images' IPTC fields or from individual CSV files. CSV files may also specify which model releases correspond to which images.
If you have a large, attributed portfolio, we can offer you an account on an FTP server for fast uploading of all your images. You can also send us your work on a DVD or hard drive. Please contact us in advance to arrange to send us your work.
