Alamy: license original photographs to buyers
If you own strong photographs, Alamy lets you submit them for possible licensing. Earnings depend on sales, and some images need model or property releases.

How it works
Alamy lets photographers submit original images for possible licensing to buyers. It is not a payment for each upload: a photograph must be accepted and then licensed before it generates income. Review the quality requirements and whether any people or private property in an image require releases.
A small, well-described collection of strong images is likely to be more useful than uploading everything on your camera roll. Think about what a buyer could actually use, and keep releases and copyright records where relevant.
