Here is the press release that talks about the acquisition http://microstockinfos.blogspot.com/2011/05/ingram-image-acquires-reflex-stock.html

Reflex Stock and IngImage are partner site of ... ( can't think of it right know, but I know I was just recently reading about it ). Try searching for your images, they maybe already on their site..

oboy · « **Reply #3 on:** June 13, 2011, 13:42 »

They are a partner of Panthermedia.

Thanks'

When I looked at signing on with them I realised quite a few of my images were already there! so didn't pursue it further

Never heard of Reflex Stock but found my images there.

Is it only a partner of Panthermedia or any other microstock agency as well?

No copyright credit there either - I'm not happy about that.

I'm not on Panthermedia and my images are on Reflexstock. No copyright credit, it's true. Who are they???

Reflexstock is not listed in here:
http://www.microstockgroup.com/general-stock-discussion/a-list-of-partner-programs/

My images on Reflexstock are not from Panthermedia (not approved yet at PM).

Now it's getting interesting...

m@m · « **Reply #8 on:** June 13, 2011, 17:03 »

I'm not with Panthermedia anymore (not for almost a year) but my photos are also showing on Reflexstock

This is not only interesting but concerning as well, who are this people?...

This is exactly why all agencies need to be upfront about their partners. If they were, it would save a lot of wasted time and headache for contributors hunting this stuff up.

Carl · « **Reply #10 on:** June 13, 2011, 18:31 »

I found a lot of my pictures there. If they can sell 'em, more power to 'em!

My sentiments exactly...
...and the hunt begins. I've emailed this guy Gavin Vadivalloo to find out just how my photos got there and what partner agency transfer them..."inquiring minds want to know"...

Ingrampublishing seems to be really hardworking artist. Even harder than legendary Colossus:

Ingram Publishing is a real agency with a real address in London, so I am confident that there's nothing bad going on this time.

Anyway, it's a case of bad communication (not telling where pictures are coming from), and unacceptable carelessness (not showing the real author). They should be more careful to these "details" if they want us to trust them.

They don't even have a detailed report of their own sales on iSignStock, as asked - still unanswered - in another thread:

If you click on one of your images it will indicate the info below:

Image number 02981213_detail RF Stock Photo
   Image Caption Cheap Photos of: White House
   License type Royalty free Stock Photo
   Photo credit Reflexstock/Panthermedia/Steven Jones

So, I guess they (mine) came from Panthermedia. Why in hell under "Image Caption" they all have CHEAP PHOTOS OF is way beyond me, you would think they would have worded that differently . . . . . .

I mean, CHEAP is such a cheap word.

m@m · « **Reply #17 on:** June 14, 2011, 08:01 »

My photos don't show any credit what so ever, and instead of "Cheap photo" it reads "Budget photo", there are also some with "microprice photo"

Very strange...still waiting for an answer from them.

jm · « **Reply #18 on:** June 14, 2011, 08:02 »

I found some of my images twice there - they are from 123rf and CanStock

microstockphoto.co.uk · « **Reply #19 on:** June 14, 2011, 08:04 »

mine show inconsistent data, varying from picture to picture, such as:

1)
Image number: 4687964 RF Stock Photo
Image Caption: Budget Stock photo of: Cardross parish church
License type: Royalty free Stock Photo

2)
Image number: claudiodivizia101100171 RF Stock Photo
Image Caption: Free Stock photos: Ruins of Cardross old parish church
License type: Royalty free Stock Photo
Photo credit: Reflexstock/Reflex Microprice/Claudio Divizia

"budget" is better than cheap indeed. But "free" is misleading.
And my name is only shown on some pictures.

That's it - 1) from Canstock 2) from 123rf

Hello,

My colleague has just made me aware of this post. Indeed Reflex Stock was taken over by Ingram Publishing a few months ago. As some of you have already mentioned we have a number of partners including 123RF, Panther Media and Canstock.

We are currently working on a number of site improvements including the way we display our partner’s images. We are very excited about the future of Reflex Stock and hope many of you will benefit from existing and futures partnerships.

Best regards,

Johnnie

Johnnie · « **Reply #23 on:** August 12, 2011, 06:27 »

Just to add:

If you are unsure about who is supplying your work to Reflex Stock then please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Thanks!

Dreamstime is one of them too I think.

I think most would agree with me that you NEED to have the copyright information show on our images. Then we might get as excited as you are
