Encyclopedia : S : ST : STO : Stock Artists Alliance
Founded in 2001, the StockArtistsAlliance is an international organization of photographers who produce images for rights managed stock photography. The mission of the SAA is to protect and promote the business interests of its members with regard to the worldwide distribution of their intellectual property.
As an advocate for its members, SAA encourages the use of fair contracts and ethical behavior at all levels of the industry. SAA monitors the stock photography industry and serves as an ombudsman for its members' interests in dealing with agencies and other distribution channels.
SAA's first major negotiation was with Getty Images to improve the photographers' contract.
