I was just contacted by AKM Images asking if I want to have them market my images. They apparently do a rights managed business model.

Has any one ever heard of them or done business with them?

Another opportunity to sell images is a good thing, but I want to be sure they are legit.

Thanks for any input.

Ed,,,I keyed in AKM images on AOL Keyword. There site came up without a lot of information. I clicked on another AKM subject and the information I received was not very complimentary. Looks like a possible scam.

They have been contacting any nature photographer with a website for years. (Myself at least 3 times) Judging their website it doesn't look like they do a lot to market their images. I don't see a list of clients or credits. There is no info on how they work with photographers. No pricing or image use info... I would vote for scam or a waste of your time. Just my 2 cents.
