Hi Whatwolf!

Anyway, Good luck for your apply!

I didn't open Whatwolf's portfolio too, the page doesn't load.

It's working already! Now I can open your portfolio. Good luck, Whatwolf!

Sorry, I don't think you'll be accepted with those images.  It's easy to go to the site to see the style they are looking for.

those images look a lot like the portfolio I had when i came out of photography college. technically great but missing some heart. keep going, you'll find your stride.

u have asian ethnic models, so i am surprised u r not trying to submit to agencies that r looking 4 those sort of subjects. eg. to your right of this page, Tyler has a sponsor "Asia Inspired". also, a while back, there was another agency based in Singapore looking for asian stock images.
i can't remember their name, but these r the agencies u should be building your portfolio with.
it is a good start, instead of choosing someone like Stocksy, as Mr. Locke says, a look at Stocksy will tell u it is not what they r looking for.

ATB.

Thanks all of you above. I have to admit that I have start to take picture for less than 2 years, and I have never take some photograph classes.
It is just a starting. So it is a little shame that www.morome.com (http://www.morome.com) have inclued all my best shot. I will improve my photo,vector,and video. But stocksy is not open for photographer all the year. I got to have a try. Is'nt right?

to: etudiante_rapide
which agence you mentioned must be TPG, I have contacted with them. Thank you.

to: gillian
I am happy that my portfolio just yours when you finished your college. I will fine the "heart" in next few years.

to: Sean Locke
I am happy that you can reply my thread. I know my portfolio is not so good. I will work harder in the future. whatever, stocksy is open now, I have to try. I will try every year once.

to: gc85
I cannot open my portfolio too. But it worked after 3 hours. And I would checked it for the next some days.

to: Magdalena
Thank you.

not to worry, a long time ago, i remember Lise Gagnon , from my own province and country,
went into the local store to pick up a camera. she had , according to her story to us, no idea what to do with that camera. last time i checked, she sold her millionth download with Istock.
and still just as helpful as ever, when you see her and speak to her.

we all started somewhere the same way. me too, in the days when dinosaur roamed, i too had to start at slowly.

look to the right of this page, under Sponsor... the middle of the page. the gif orange ad.."we got Asia covered".  this one. click the ad and go there via Tyler's link
here i do it for you

I am still waiting.
the page have said: We are sorry for keep you waiting for 1 month!

A friend of mine make a joke that they don't want me to get in and don't want me to apply again, so always waiting.

or They forgot me?

Ubermensch, looks like you try to do some kind of black PR against Stocksy, but there is no ground to develop this, because Stocksy pays one of the best commissions, there are great friendly and positive people, and a huge amount of creativity. Finally I hope nobody has put a gun to your forehead and to oblige you to go in Stocksy :)

No, was just commenting on how stocksy can just reject us "poor losers" on the fly like that. Seems fair to at least allow the proper apply, reject process privately on the site. Did brucey really need to publicly reject that tog?
 
But let me ask you something Deyan my dear friend, if you have to pay bills and the world has a gun to your head, pay or die, would you accept this shoddy treatment from some rich wanker, offering everything but delivering nothing?

a: I am not Bruce, and 2: the person posted their portfolio, and while they were certainly free to apply with it, I didn't think they'd be approved with it.  Oh, and C: I have nothing to do with the application process.

I'm starting to think this weird fascination is just a hobby of yours or something.

OMG, I'm sorry, what's wrong with you? Sean is a Stock God, and 1) you seem to be unaware of that and 2) you continue to insult him. Although he may not do approvals he is our conduit between contributors and admin. I'd say your chances of getting in to Stocksy are as promising as Australia winning the World Cup.

Let's clear that I also do apply to Stocksy and I wait already 14 weeks. It's too hard for me, but I know this is the situation and it's worth this time and concerns. I prefere to became a part of current Stocksy, not to be a part of Stocksy where can enter for two days everybody.
I personally pay my bills just from microstock, because my microstock portfolio is a good sellable. I don't need Stocksy for to pay my bills, but to give me something more - creativity and inspiration :)
Stocksy is a training course for everyone who just look their curated collection. If you are rejected this time, spend your time to create content like in the curated collection have and the next time you will be accepted(although with this mistreatment to them, I doubt).
You have to respect all the team there who make Stocksy possible and bring this opportunity to you.

Stocksy is not a pyramidal structure like other stock agencies, this is a community of valuable photographers and to me will be privilege to be there.

I will not comment Sean(it's so clear who is he and what is his photography), but just to say he spend his time to give us some comments and helpful info about Stocksy. There are just a few people spending of their expensive time(Shean,Gillian, Cobalt...) to write here about Stocksy and please do not discourage them.

Ha, true. Yuri doesn't seem to want many followers, which is fair enough as none of us are his customers. He's another very clever boy. I am happy to live in a multi-deity world.  There are other gods - more humble - lurking too.
