2021 Getty Images stats
Decembers statement is here and that means 2021 is done and dusted! 

### December Stats

Let's take a quick look at December before diving into the year.

*This was my highest selling image for December at $85 USD (that's my 20% so Getty gets $340).*
![gettyimages-1226686857-2048x2048.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kieranstone/AKGcHF7W1raFjBGpTZDwKZ6bmY1KL8SCNPdWB9wxBcZ2xR6cN3pcqUukP4sPwYh.jpg)

I was quite happy when I put these little display graphics together. It's literally just a couple of shapes and then transforming some radial gradients. A little bit of light painting can create simple 3D looks. The silver version of this sold for $30 this month, so overall for the time spent making it, it's easily paid for itself, and will continue to sell.

One new sale this month is an image I was quite proud of because I set out to make something in Photoshop from a blank canvas and it turned out better and more realistic than I thought it would. No photo textures were used here. Just good ol' PS layers.

This photo is my best selling *photo* for the month and my 5th best seller and sold a total of 10 times just this month.

<center><sub>Surfers Paradise has sold 113 times since Aug 2018</sub></center>




Overall there was 113 sales in December. 

*All the images that sold*

### 2021 Stats

*The growth over the years is promising*
![getty stats.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/kieranstone/EoKCZLPR35gBaeHGp2D72jujsL4TvuNkV9Bk2abQyNPcK42MSqZg5xnMfoBr58muXrY.png)

Considering I haven't uploaded a lot of new content recently, 2021 has giving me new motivation to make more graphics for Getty Images.

This year I had a total of 1377 sales. Which was 300 more than last year. That's like having an extra 3 months in the year to sell.

I wouldn't have guessed that the second one wasn't a photograph.  Can't believe that you made it entirely in PS.  Amazing!

But the WOOD TEXTURE!!!  How did you make that from nothing?  Some sort of noise as a starting point?  Then directional blur?  I have no idea!  But if I tried I bet it wouldn't look photorealistic! :)

I'm not sure about their current entry requirements or if they are open for submissions. Not something I keep an eye on. They are usually fairly strict and aren't open for submissions for very long
