This sounds like a very interesting idea, I'm into the concept, but I do not understand how creative professionals are supposed to generate income with this model. I understand how this could help people reach new audiences and make business connections, just not how we are getting income from our images (in my case as a photographer) if anyone could use them for income as well.
Please discuss this, thanks!

Thanks for your helpful responses.
There is another issue that comes to mind, that of Fine Art photographers (or any other fine artists) that are trying to make a living from their work. In this case no one pays them to take and post-produce the work, so the above idea would not be of benefit.
In addition I am still skeptical about the benefit to commercial photographers as well. In some service fields like perhaps wedding photography, that may work fine, however, for fields such as advertising I could see the photographers (or other image makers) getting completely ripped off. Big money advertising relies on creative imagery and makes a huge profit, why should we let them take all the profit from our skills and talent? I put a lot of time and money and expertise in to my work and I am hoping that it will allow me to have a fulfilling career, which also means relying on my skills to pay my bills and knowing I will be fairly rewarded.
All this said, I would still be interested in figuring out how this would work, perhaps in limited cases?
