I think there is already an avenue for this kind of work but it requires collaboration to work in it's current form (Ie: if a writer uses your image, out of courtest should share their payment because they get "paid more" for articles with images)

I also think an image repository/morgue for Devtome writers to access might prove useful in addition to this for those who want to focus on images. Traditionally images in a morgue are only paid for when they are used, so this could work here:

As all the Devtome raters I have seen award additional ratings to articles with appropriate images there is already an avenue for determining the "worth" of an image.

All that would be needed is some kind of tag/scrypt that records when an image from the morgue is used on a Devtome article and whatever that rating equates to as percentage of share is awarded to the photographer/artist. (who would probably have a profile page on Devtome like a writer does and their address is scraped from there for payment.

Ok so i don't know if this was already brought up at all or if anything similar was tried, Do you think devtome as well as writing should sponsor photography? Maybe something like 1 share per 10 original pictures and the pictures would be rated for quality, overall look... Im not talking about family reunion type pictures but more like scenery, automotive, nature and other things people may like. Tell me what you think.

Just some additional information about this topic. It has been discussed a good amount on the Devcoin forum as well. There are some pretty good ideas and suggestions over there. If you get a chance, go give them a look.
